There are wild and delusional claims, and then that’s what Nigel Farage threw during a Newsmax appearance on Wednesday night.
Continuing his full-scale attack on Meghan Markle following his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, former Brexit leader told Newsmax host Greg Kelly that “no one in history has done more for people of color than the royal family. British. ”
Markle, as you recall, told Winfrey that someone in the royal family had expressed concern about the dark potential of her then-unborn son’s skin, suggesting that racism was the basis of the comments. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, also said she was considering suicide, but received no support from the palace over her mental health problems.
“I don’t want to downplay the importance of mental health as an issue for a while, but we also can’t have people who support mental health issues as a way to close the debate,” Farage said at one point. “It seemed very controlled by the interview.”
After throwing Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, about “destroying the UK’s reputation in the world” with their interview, Farage continued to discuss the couple’s allegations of racism by the palace.
“The queen and the royal family have spent the last seventy years touring the Commonwealth,” he said. “The vast majority of these people are black and Asian.”
He continued: “I would tell you that no one in the world, in history, has done more for people of color than the British royal family.”
Apparently, as Farage describes, the long history of brutal colonialism and slavery in the British Empire should be seen as a positive thing by people of color around the world, especially in those countries occupied by Britain.
Farage’s comments quickly went viral on social media, with observers and critics holding the British Conservative leader accountable because it seems black and Asian people should be grateful that they were colonized and enslaved.
“Replace” for “with” at “and it’s correct. Prepositions are important! ” Jeet Heer of the nation remarked on Twitter.
“Hey, Nigel. How did these countries get into the Commonwealth? ” she, he asked Barry Malone, executive producer of Al Jazeera The Stream.
