So, everybody is still talking about this interview Oprah did with Harry and Meghan on Sunday this morning, three full days later, and that just pisses me off. This is America, not England, and Americans should have better things to worry about than what these two spoiled hundred-millionaire brats were saying to the billionaire Oprah in the garden of their $14 million California home.
But apparently we don’t, so there it is.
PauseUnmute Fullscreen VDO.AI During my regular Tuesday spot with hilarious radio host Greg Budell on News Talk 93.1 FM in Montgomery, Alabama yesterday, Greg asked me which British royal family member was the ‘racist’ that Meghan claims asked Harry about what the color of his child would be when she was preggers. I simply responded, “I don’t know, and I don’t care.” A couple minutes later, I realized I’d better clarify and expand on that answer because in today’s America, if the question is about racism in any way, shape or form and you aren’t very specific about every little word you say, some people – i.e., the Perpetual Outrage Mob on Twitter – are going to assume you are a racist.
So, I clarified that yes, I care about and condemn racism in all its forms, though I doubt any member of the royal family is actually a racist. Well, maybe Andrew, but how likely is it that he was taking time off from pursuing teenage girls to have a conversation of any sort with Harry? Not bloody likely, especially since the Queen long ago banned him from any contact with or participation in the Family’s weird endeavors.
What I don’t care about, though, is the Windsors, the bleeping royal family. Oh, I think the Queen is somewhat admirable in her longevity and her ability to maintain the façade that the crown actually matters in some real way across almost 70 years now, but other than Elizabeth, what member of the royal family blood line over the last century has actually been what any honest person would refer to as something special or admirable?
You could make a semi-case for Princess Anne, who managed to qualify for and win a medal at the 1976 Olympics as an equestrian, but why was she able to do that in the first place? Because she was born into massive wealth and privilege and thus had nothing better to do than to ride horses around one of the many royal estates, that’s why. And despite that notable achievement, she was by most accounts much like Meghan: A spoiled, mean and entitled brat who treated her staff horribly.
Let’s be honest about the Royal Family, shall we? They are trailer park trash who own a bunch of palaces. And they own all those palaces and spend their days shuttling between them, having tea, and participating in an array of goofy ceremonies before their semi-adoring public not through the results of any actual meritorious service or enterprise that their family members have been responsible for over the years, but simply by chance of birth.
I would say they’re basically Kardashians but without the big rear ends and exotic good looks, but that would be insulting to what has sadly become America’s own royal family. I mean, at least the Kardashians actually did something real to earn their fame and money. Yeah, those real things involved “accidentally” leaking porn videos of themselves and posting sexy pictures on social media. But hey, those things then led to a series of reality TV shows that had nothing to do with reality, but which made them hundred millionaires themselves, producing a financial legacy that these Jenner girls then parlayed into billions of dollars in sales of designer clothes and other actual business enterprises.
Many of us here in America like to mock all of that, but think about it: What has any member of the British Royal Family ever done that would amount to actually creating anything of true monetary value? At least the Kardashians/Jenners have contributed to the economic growth in our country. Yes, it can be argued that they’ve also contributed to our country’s moral decay, but I’d argue that that decay has long been inevitable and would have moved along at the same pace with or without them. All the Kardashians did was figure out a way to exploit it.
Americans know what the Kardashians are and hold few illusions about them. But millions love them anyway. The Brits, on the other hand, know full well who the Windsors and Mountbattens are, but choose to delude themselves with the fiction that they are somehow admirable and deserving of their ridiculous station in life.
The British Crown is in fact one of the oddest holdover institutions from the Middle Ages, one that has no real societal function or benefit other than to give the British people a central figure to rally around in difficult times. The perpetuation of this institution seems to work for the Brits, as silly as that seems, and that’s fine.
But when I see millions of Americans and our corrupt news media spending day after day after day obsessing over what two of the least admirable people on earth said to slander the Queen of England Sunday night with Oprah, well, that just pisses me off. Our own ancestors fought an entire revolution so we would no longer have to pay any attention at all to those people anymore.
If Americans must obsess over trailer park trash, let’s stick with the Kardashians. At least they did something productive to earn it.
That is all.
“Royal Family” and “The Kardashians” in the same sentence...
That has *GOT* to be satire. That simply CANNOT be serious.
Closest thing America has to a Royal Family (love them or loathe them), are the Kennedys.
Out of the slime of American decadence rose the Kardashians. A mother set it in motion by pimping her daughter. Is that how royalty is spawned?
like a symbol of the country as a whole
For us, that would be Donald J. Trump.
Kim made a porn tape. That’s what their fame is built upon.
I don’t think I’d go THAT far.
The Kartrashians are insipid and infantile. The Royals are insipid and elitist. There’s a difference.
It’s like offering a choice between a turd burger and a sh!t sandwich: an idiotic premise.
Harry and Meghan see the Kardashians make Billions, with a B. They want some.
If you look at the history of European royal families, you will find pimping daughters was a common practice.
Don’t the Kardashians have a line of products that actually employ people? Clothing or makeup I think.
I don’t pay much attention to either circus show and better off.for it.
