French magazine Charlie Hebdo caused social media outrage Saturday over its front-page drawing of Queen Elizabeth II kneeling on the neck of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

A caption on the drawing translates to “Why Meghan left Buckingham.” A quote bubble near Meghan’s head reads, “because I couldn’t breathe anymore.”

In the photo, shared on the magazine’s Twitter account, a menacing-looking Queen Elizabeth II pins Meghan down with her knee. The image is a cartoon recreation of George Floyd’s death when a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes during a May 25 arrest. […]

Social media users slammed Charlie Hebdo over the drawing, with some calling it racist.

“Words cannot describe just how disgusting I found that Charlie Hebdo cover. Punching down and constantly drawing racist caricatures it’s not satire. It’s called being a d---,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Charlie Hebdo is a disgusting newspaper that promotes Racism, Xenophobia, Islamophobia and sexism. For years it has made fun of many serious social issues that exists in the world, whilst making millions of dollars,” another posted.

One user said the cover was “absolutely disgusting.” …

Some of Harry’s friends observed a profound change in his behavior and even his personality after he met Markle, like he was in some kind of trance. Don’t know about anyone else, but that sounds like witchcraft to me.

Near as I can tell, the only thing Harry has accomplished is to flush his own life down the toilet.

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the communists.

On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital; on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.

— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2
Not marrying is exactly what the commies want. That’s why those that are in power attack the family via such policies.

Satire has to be cancelled because too many people these days suffer from narcissism.

I guess the idea with this cover is to mock Meghan for her persecution delusion. Not to insult Floyd.

I think Daily Mail is about to sue Oprah and CBS...and CBS now has a mess on their hands over what happened to Sharon Osbourne getting ambushed over Piers Morgan. Will be interesting to see if Sharon ends up suing them or walks out.

Translation:
"Why Meghan left Buckingham."
Meghan: "Because I couldn't breathe anymore."


I think it's a rather ugly and insulting
thing to insinuate about Queen Elizabeth II.

This is true.

Of course, in extramarital (sinful) situations, the wallet/target paradigm also applies.

Me too, I was cracking up, I think it’s brilliant because what it’s doing is shoving it back in the face of the race baiters. The Queen, royal family is racist? Well what level of racism? Knee on the neck kind of racism? Lynching racism? Hey, if they want to go down this road, let’s go all the way. Let’s drag Oprah down here, what kind of racism? Democrat Jim Crow, KKK racism? Meghan and Oprah brought it up, so let’s focus on the level of racism here.

My point being is they should have this shoved back in their face, to hell with hit and run accusations. Let’s delve deep into this. I KNEW the second I heard Oprah was interviewing them that 100% racism would be brought up and it was. I use to hound the crap out of Oprah all the time on twitter, I made her life miserable with her constant race flaming while pointing out her 100% support of the Democrap/Confederate party. Now she doesn’t allow anyone to post unless they are vetted, Why? Because she’s a punk, she’s a hit and run coward..........https://twitter.com/Oprah

Yeah, this comfirms for me zero benefits for men to be married today

And considring the Christian divorce rate, about 50%, thats absolutely nothing to bank on if you are a guy, considering 80% of divorce initiated by women.

Guess she never met Greater London’s Lord Lieutenant before coming out with the race-baiting claims and putting her foot in her mouth.

Sir Ken Olisa refuted Markle’s garbage quite effectively.

The phrase “Christian divorce rate” is supposed to be an oxymoron. If we were to test the faith of these people, we may find it to be so either way.

It would have been better with Megan kneeling on Cuck Harry’s neck.

I hate to say it, I am a woman and I kind of agree with you. Some of the young women are money grubbing self loving drama queens.
