Her illness is being covered by the Sun, Mirror, Metro, Mail, Independent. So 100% she would.

Are these elderly neighbours, just I’ve never heard of any of them…

[Commtech Sio Bibble 2,063]

Former secret service agent Clint Hill who is notable for his actions following the Kennedy assassination and is now a published author will be 91 in January, recent photographs show him with tubes going into his nose, does still seem to be active despite this.

Never mentioned on this forum before according to a search, but Dieter Rams, German architect and designer, whose works have achieved worldwide acclaim, is 91 next May.

Poor Lady Susan Hussey has been forced to retire because some idiot over appropriated her own culture to compensate for the fact that she is a boring Brit. 

 

The stress of it, and the disgrace, may have a detrimental impact on her health.

I'm sick of this race baiting too.  Why couldn't the woman answer a harmless question and say something like "My grandparents were from Nigeria (or wherever)".

Since when was it racist, or offensive, to show a friendly interest in someone's ancestry?  There's nothing to be ashamed of if your forebears were from overseas. 

This woman's social media shows that this has all the signs of being a set-up to embarrass the RF, and sadly Lady Susan fell into the trap.

I do feel the same as you. Stupid thing to say but she shouldn`t become a pariah for it. As you say this was a trap clearly as Fulani could have answered her question even though it was clumsily expressed.

 

The woman is 83 you can`t expect her to be in tune with all the ever-changing rules of what you can and can`t say. I`m 28 and I struggle with all the constant changes of what can and can`t be said.

I won’t say I think there was any of the implied intent from Hussey, but the question can sometimes be legitimately taken as a micro-aggression, and many people of colour have had it so many times before where their answer of <somewhere in this country> isn’t accepted.
 

As Sean said before me, the way it was expressed wasn’t good at all, but in this instance surely education would be more effective than cancellation?

 

I don’t think there was any trap. I do think, however, that there have been multiple instances recently with the RF of, at best, pretty bad optics (eg. Camilla earlier in the week, Charles in the hand-shaking queue, William and Kate’s tone-deafness in the Caribbean earlier in the year), all of which minor and arguable but there is  understandably more awareness of and reaction to things like this Hussey incident as a result.

Sadly some people live to be offended these days.

 

They need to get over the fact that they’re black and realise that most white folks didn’t exactly have it too easy back in the olden days either. At least slaves had a value…my ancestors didn’t even have that. 

[Sean 6,340]

Just saw Fulani describe the altercation as "non physical violence"

It was probably prompted by the colourful African costume that she was wearing.  I would have assumed that she took pride in her heritage, and would very likely have asked about it myself.

There is definitely a campaign among the Sussex fans to reinforce accusations of racism against the RF.

I didn't follow the Caribbean visit, but the footage of Camilla at Barnardos was manipulated to suggest that she didn't want to touch the black child.  If you look at the whole footage and not just the small clip, you see she has her arms round black children.  When she picked up the little girl's sleeve, it was to admire her bracelet.

As for Charles, he did reach back and shake that guy's hand when he realised he'd missed him.  He used his left hand as he was moving on quite quickly. I don't think he even noticed whose hands he was shaking.

 

This is all engineered because the Sussexes have been given an award for fighting racism in the Royal Family!   Outrageous.

It’s literally the equivalent of me dressing up like I’ve just fallen off a shortbread tin and then being absolutely astounded when people ask what clan I’m from.

 

I don’t know either. Because I don’t have a clan and I’m not one of those twats who cares.

Why on earth the Palace thought it was a good idea to invite someone who said that the Duchess of Sussex was subjected to domestic violence by her in laws is beyond me.She clearly has an axe to grind.

Just a shame Phil the Greek wasn't alive to greet her yesterday.

I'm disappointed that they've caved in  and issued such an abject apology too.  Should have been more "Sorry if you were embarrassed by a friendly show of interest, but no offence was intended."

[time 8,641]

An alarming lack of empathy from some people here!

This is the only apology that will suffice for Fulani.

Oh for fuck sake, we’re not on the fucking Sussexes again  

 

Please, please, please, I implore you, just pretend they don’t exist.

The only reason we should have empathy is if being of African descent is a taboo.

 

Spoiler alert: it’s not.
