Never mind who wore what, the View's Sherri Shepherd had another burning question about the Royal Wedding today.

'Where are the black people?' the outspoken actress, 44, asked as the panellists as they critiqued Prince William and Kate Middleton's ceremony.

The star said she had earlier searched through the footage of guests at Westminster Abbey.

'Audrey Jones our producer was looking for the black people in the wedding and we found our Rosa Parks moment, because we were like 'where are the black people'?' she said.

'It was like where's Waldo, where are the black people?' she added.

'We found one little black child in the choir but where's the black people at this wedding?' she continued.

'Wait a minute the Calvary guy, from New York,' said Goldie Hawn, 65, who was a guest host for the day.

'Well the guests, there they are,' said Sherri, pointing to a screen showing a small group of black people in the congregation.

'They are segregated but they are at the front so we have our Rosa Parks moment,' she added referring to the African-American civil rights activist Rosa Parks who refused to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat for a white passenger on December 1, 1955.

'I don't know why they put all the black people over here but they are at the front of the wedding so I ain't complaining, they got in the front,' added Sherri.

The women also mocked the Queen and the dresses of princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.

I want to why he didn’t marry a black women? Why are his mom and dad white? How dare this SOB for not being black!

Well, this one of the guests was a retired Naval officer from Australia who is now a school teacher.

Seriously - there was a very broad range of people in the Abbey, from all sorts of walks of life. Yes, a lot were very prominent people, but there were also representatives from most of the Royal charities invited - just normal workers in those charities who have got to know William or his father.

I only saw one black person today, in my travels.

Shame on me.

[TexasTransplant]

That’s what this World needs ... Affirmative Action for Weddings ... then everyone can feel good about themselves.

[Kickass Conservative]

It's true, you can't fix stupid.

Did she ask why there wasn't a Half Black Marxist there?

[cripplecreek]

I didn’t see any.

[Will88]

I remember some TV show years ago where some were complaining because they didn’t see any black people in footage from Russia. No joke.

[TexasTransplant]

**** “Where the white women at?” *****

Actually I think the quote was “Where all the White Women at?”

Slight difference but still funny

Why wasn’t Fergie invited? Fine, she’s divorced from the Windsors but she’s still William’s aunt and mother to their first cousins. If pop stars were invited, surely their aunt should have been. But then it might have been Liz’s wish even all these years later.

I read/heard that she specifically asked to not be invited so as not to cause any "issues." Whether true or not, I can't say, but it did make sense to me when I heard/read it.

[LibFreeOrDie]

Fergie wasn’t invited because she was caught in a bribe scandal - tryng to sell access to her ex (Prince Andrew) for 500,000 pounds. Caught on tape.

Traditionally, the royal men wear military uniforms at their weddings. William is an honorary colonel in the Irish Guards, and chose to wear their uniform in honor of their service in Afghanistan. He could have worn his RAF uniform instead if he chose to.

I have to admit those weird looking hats had me going “WTF???”

[Kickass Conservative]

I went to a Japanese Wedding some years back. For some reason there weren’t any Black people there either.

Deep in my soul I knew the Couple that got married were closet KKK Members. All the tablecloths were White...

[LostInBayport]

there were also representatives from most of the Royal charities invited - just normal workers in those charities who have got to know William or his father.

That is exactly the kind of color I was searching for...far different from the type Sherri Shepherd wanted to see.

Hope you had a good time at Westminister Abbey! /s

[Outlaw Woman]

Well I have that beat. I was screamed at by a black woman last week. Apparently she didn’t like a white to be on her public street..

[Kickass Conservative]

>”I have to admit those weird looking hats had me going “WTF???”<

So that's how Obama will Win The Future. He'll have to get one big ass Hat for Moochelle.

[LibFreeOrDie]

Beatrice has been wearing outrageous hats for years. Here's one that she wore at a wedding a few years ago.

HUH what utter pure crap, they were never invited and there were people at the wedding from all over the world , maybe this racist needs to go to black weddings etc and see how many whites are there .

people looking at peoples color are the racists, maybe they need to get out a bit more and understand that people are people , even MLK said judge a person by their character not their color but of curse the racists cannot seem to understand that.

It strikes you as sad surely you are joking and as for the racist phony and fat arse wife not clear being invited for crying out loud they were not and good for them . The last people to be seen by most is the racist pres and hiw far arse wife .

[Miss Didi]

Barry & Bride weren’t invited. William wore that red uniform to honor the British troops in Afghanistan. Both boys serve and looked simply smashing to me. I thought the Queen was stunning.

[hal ogen]

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha...I think?

[manc]

you noticed the same, what you look at people by their color. For crying out loud if a black wedding in a black country was held do you find white people and say racist
