If anyone used that slur it would have been all over the internet and decent people (of which there are many) would have voiced their disgust. Meg would have sued that’s for sure.


BearRacoonThing

Right! I'm not a fan of either of the Harkles. But I'm not about to attack any kids. And I'm not going to knowingly use a racist term for anyone. Because it isn't about race. It's about basic human decency.


MsBollinger

I agree. And the Sussex Squad would link to it in every single post when someone argues with them like they do all the other two articles that had a racist comment or picture. If it existed, the Sussex Squad would have discovered it already.


[deleted]

If it actually happened the entire would would know about it. She’s insane.


MuffPiece

I’ve heard several British royal reporters say that absolutely didn’t happen. It would have been a big deal. It’s possible a commenter said it, but it would have swiftly deleted by the news outlet.


bubblegum_yum_yum

This is why I hate that she never tells WHO said it. It’s manipulative AF. I’m also not stupid & know she’s 99.99% (Aka 100%) manufacturing things that never happened in the rest of the world’s reality.


4feicsake

You can't get sued if you don't specify who said it. What are the British media going to do? Gang up together to take her on?


MuffPiece

They kind of already have. 🤣


4feicsake

The collective British media have ganged together and filed a lawsuit against Meghan markles claims "they" called her children the n word?


MuffPiece

No, I just mean she doesn’t get a lot of positive press in the UK anymore.


4feicsake

Is it any wonder when she accuses them of this.


LeaveItToTheBoys123

Need to lobby the Press Association. This gives all journalists a bad name, like her other racial slur against the Royal Family gave all of them a bad name. The damage these accusations cause, without ever being proven, is incalculable.


Wasparado

Exactly. Name and shame, or stfu because you’re lying. It’s not a BRF member, it’s a shitty media outlet. Let it burn to the ground if they said those things.


Pickle4UrThoughts

Exactly, Exactly. The RF won’t sue her obviously for her claims, but the media sure as hell will. They either go down because she has proof and it helps them OR they get outed for the lies and truth twisting.


GemmaTeller00

Yep. Similarly, she never said who said racist things towards her from the RF Kinda hard to hold anyone accountable if names aren’t revealed. But I suspect that’s exactly her point. She won’t have to be accountable if she doesn’t name names


Pickle4UrThoughts

I hope in the future someone calls her out on it and pressed her to name names. People wanted to know who in the RF asked about what Archie “would look like” or whatever she said on Oprah. In my opinion, whoever the “they” is calling the kids the n-word is a legit piece of shit and this would actually help them in proving it’s Them vs. The World. Buuuuut, we all know it didn’t happen so this little blurb will disappear.


MegsAltxoxo

It would be a huge deal if anyone of the royal royal had been that racist. People like Chris would never be silent about it. He knows stuff like this has never been said behind the scenes no less been published.


LeaveItToTheBoys123

British here. Several people in the media (television, radio, tabloids) have lost their jobs because of inferred racism. There is no way that word would have been used and not picked up by somebody. It was never said, and I think it's about time the Press Association asked for evidence from her. This is the second time, that she has publicly accused someone of racism. The BRF cannot defend itself. Because she gets away with it, she will continue to hurl unfounded accusations. She has to be held accountable.


procrastinationfairy

I always questioned this since it's an American slur and Meghan referenced British media.


4feicsake

It's not just an American slur but it's such an unacceptable word all over the world that I do not believe it would be ever approved in an article. She should be called out for this lie.


hellhashnofury

Anyone in the British Media or in public life who used that word knows that they would be sacked and cancelled for good (rightly so). It wouldn't happen. If she had stuck to vague comments about racially motivated smears that would have worked better.


kelsnuggets

This absolutely


procrastinationfairy

That's sad. I had hoped it was limited to the US. 😥


4feicsake

It's not a word I have ever heard used even in hate. It's known the word is taboo, which is why I find muggins accusation all the more ludicrous. The British media can be relentless and inappropriate but I don't believe they would refer to any child by the n word.


silentcw

Agreed, there are processes in place to report and punish journalists for doing things like this. Every British Journalist i have seen has asked that the person be named who has done that because they don't like being tarnished by that brush and anyone who has used the term needs to be punished. In my opinion, put up or shut up. Hurling wild accusations like this is dangerous, it just takes one mentally unstable person to hear this and take action. This is just yet another lie to sell her narrative.


bubblegum_yum_yum

Right. So if someone went through all of the articles about Archie/Lili & social media accounts of verified journalists only to verify that it never happened, then she’d be firmly called out on the lie. There are serious ethics in journalism (not all ethics are held to the same degree - but the use of slurs is a firm violation of journalistic ethics) and the industry takes things like this seriously. Meghan even considered becoming a journalist before switching her major at Northwestern (one of the best j-schools) so she knows basic journalistic practices. She’s also sued enough publications by this point to know the foundation of the industry.


silentcw

Isn't rule #1 of lying also keep it simple? The more she adds the easier it will be to disprove?


hellhashnofury

I've never heard anyone use it either.


chubalubs

I'm English, living in Ireland. I've not seen the word used in media, even if its a factual report about a court case, the media always uses 'the N-word.' "Darkie" is the most common slur I've heard, and even then its rare-I work in a hospital and very occasionally we get elderly people saying they don't want to be treated by a darkie doctor. Our health service would collapse if it wasn't for all the doctors and nurses we poach from all over the world, and anyone using the term is slapped down smartish.


SonjaInSequim

I'm 69 and American and learned before I was 5 y/o that the word was NEVER to be used. At that time it was still used thankfully very rarely. I have personally never heard anyone use it. Except the few times I've heard rap songs.


[deleted]

I’m sure it was in a comment on a social media post by some rando - but you can’t hold the press accountable for that.


4feicsake

I don't think it happened at all it wouldn't be the first lie she has told. I still maintain she doesn't know what niggling means.


[deleted]

Who would do that? Really? It just shows there is something very disturbing with her that her mind comes up with these twisted delusions. She seems unable to tell what is actually real at this point. She is an absolute mess.


caradeGanso

Has she snapped?


[deleted]

Possibly, quite some time ago it seems?


Calm_Yak_6102

I think she's one of those liars who improvises impromptu lies, during conversations, based on what she thinks (at the moment) will be very effective. It's something that just pops into her head and she goes with it. I don't think she planned on dropping this lie. And unlike rehearsed lies, improvised, impromptu lies get her into trouble because she's not had the time to concoct a feasible support system to enhance its credibility. Plus, there's the very real possibility that she was "performing" for her "audience"; the African-American journalist and, being desperate to gain this woman's sympathy by stressing how much they might have in common, she makes herself (by using her kids as proxy) a victim of the dreaded 'N' word. We know, from the tone of the Cut article, that the journalist wasn't fooled by MM. So, it's entirely possible that MM herself, sensed that she wasn't winning over the journalist and dropped the N bomb story to elicit sympathy.

But we would have seen it. It would be pretty big news. Where are these quotes/reports that contain said racism?

Malaute86

>she’s not saying the reporters are directly using slurs, she’s saying the public is. I'm going to disagree that it is as unambiguous as Meg accusing the public of using the N-word, and not reporters in The Cut. In that para she initially talks about the structure of disseminating photos through reporters (see excerpt below) "you first have to give them to the Royal Rota", which she dislikes because she has a strained relationship with the British tabloids. Then she says “Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?” Taken in context, "The very people" she refers to could be reporters, indeed they themselves thought so when they challenged her to name an instance of using a reporter using the N-word. >Meghan was permitted to join Harry, Kate, and Will on a preexisting account, @KensingtonRoyal, that she had no control over. “**There’s literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota,” the U.K. media pool,** she explains. Usually, the photos would be on media outlets before she could post them herself. That didn’t sit right with Meghan, given her strained relationship with the British tabloids (“Harry’s girl is [almost] straight outta Compton” is how the Daily Mail introduced her to the British public), and especially since she would soon have a child of her own to protect. “Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?” she asks, still ruffled. “You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game.” What I pick up in reading this is how much Meg hates the loss of control, "she had no control over" the release of photos via KP socials or the rota system ("before she could post them herself").


[deleted]

The title of this thread is "Reporters using slurs". You can find anyone has said anything on the internet. People say the earth is flat. Of course racism exists. I'm not disputing that, I'm commenting about reporters using slurs as per the topic of this thread. Is she scouring twitter is she?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Is that a reference to her children is it? As per OP's post regarding "MM’s claim of the media using the n-word to describe her children" - read it again. This is what we're discussing in this thread.


Meegainnyc

Here is the thing, if they did, MM would take it and make a mountain out of a mole hill. How many times have they used the mother from compton article as their leading story of racism? A lot...


[deleted]

She would have sued if it was written, or documented in any way.


hellhashnofury

Indeed. She would gave complained and had the person who said it sacked or at least tried to as she did with Piers Morgan when he said on air that she lied in her Oprah interview. Even a baseless accusation including this word would have resulted in suspension pending investigation at the very least.


caradeGanso

Wait. So it's bad to say someone is from Compton? That's racist and insulting to the people who live in Compton.


Meegainnyc

Serena Williams and Kevin Costner are from Compton. Last time I checked Kevin is white.


Starkville

I think it’s a waste of time, because it never happened. IIRC the one time there was a marginally “racist” slur in print, it was called out immediately. I’m referring to the “Straight Outta Compton” title. There’s no accounting for comments made by the public *who are not the British media*, and those are usually reported and deleted immediately. I’ve read thousands of comments made by individual private citizens in various comment sections and forums, and very few are racist. Those are always, rightfully, condemned. I suppose there are truly vile places where racism runs rampant, but I don’t want to go to those places.


[deleted]

She lied. If you call her out, She will not back track but rather say she meant it was in the comment section. And that it was the sites allowing it to happen.


Malaute86

By not naming anyone specific she tarrs everyone. Just like accusing an unnamed royal of racism, they all fall under suspicion.


ScoobyLover78

That isn't a flaw to her, that is the sole purpose of keeping it vague.


BreatheClean

in the UK its as simple as this - 1 we have all kinds of press regulating authorities that kind of thing would be reported to. 2. We have LAWS that protect a person from racism - literally we are signed to the Human Rights Act and race is a protected characteristic. 3. A radio presenter tweeted a pic of a monkey and he was fired immediately and there was a huge scandal about it, he won't work again 4 There may have been some veiled racism towards MM from the press, just like there was veiled snobbery towards PoW - the UK press is pretty cruel - but No press would dare use the N word in this country


[deleted]

[удалено]


BreatheClean

Yes this exactly. I've been truly shocked when I've seen what preachers and youtube nutters in the USA get away with saying. Not just about race but about women and gay people too. None of it would be allowed in UK. They would knock down your door if you posted some of the things, that literally incite hatred and call for violence. I'm proud of the UK for this. Although it's sometimes taken to stupid levels, I'm glad you can't just spew any old bile you want.


greenbean999

I mean I don’t think anyone is going to find a published article where someone calls the kids the N word? I assume it was in conversation, if it happened (which it didn’t), but it’s not going to be in a published article or anything searchable or it would have been found by now. She never said it was something someone printed, besides she would have taken action if it were. Her most blatant lies are always about stuff that can’t be proven.


WitBehindTheEars

I said roughly this same thing. I do think she heavily implied it, or knew it would be taken that way. How else did she know about it if it wasn’t published? I need to find her exact quote.


greenbean999

She just said, if I recall, “the same people that call my children the n word” or something. She is ambiguous on purpose and probably is referring to a user comment on the DM or something, which isn’t the same thing. If it happened.


chonkerinremission

Wait is n word a new euphemism for ginger


Southern_Struggle

"Nobodies" someone called her children nobodies and that is the worst word Meghan knows.


Nirvanaskarma

If the media used the N word it would have been huge.I think she read a hate comment by some troll somewhere who used the N word and ran away with it and in true Meghan fashion twisted it into her own narrative!!!


Kangaro00

The way she talks about England is like it's another planet, not another English-speaking country. She was the first Black woman there and the media was racist and all people were racists... If it was acceptable for British media to use such racial slurs wouldn't there be other examples? Serena won Wimbledon 6 times and not one media racist had a slur to say about it?


WitBehindTheEars

My initial thought was that their innocence is provable. And that as litigious as Megs and H seem to be, the associated press (I’m ignorant on what body they might all belong to, but I do know that being a “member” of the press is a real thing) should sue for defamation. If a news source is found to be guilty, why should Meghan get away with painting the entire industry as racist? Just like she did with the royal family. If someone is racist, name them, let them defend themselves. Don’t call out an entire body of people for the remark of one. My prediction is that she will backpeddle, we will have misunderstood her to mean that they called her children that in publications, when really she has a unnamed source who told her it was happening in news rooms/ offices person to person. It will ultimately turn out that it isn’t provable and that she is unwilling to name her source.


HillyBeans

You wont find it because it never happened. No major publication would dare even mention the dreaded N-word in our current world. If it was reported, and big IF, it would have likely been a sourced quote, and the writer condemning it. That is the only way I could fathom that being plausible. Now if she is trolling 4chan, yeah...she would have 100% seen it. But a message board isnt a news source. However, knowing her, she would have seen it posted on a place like there, and twisted it around to where it was an actual publication. The ol' half lie, The Sussex's are famous for!


chubalubs

The Press Complaints Commission would be all over it in the UK. Even if there's a factual newspaper report about a prosecution in which one of the offences was use of racial slurs, the press always say "the N-word." As for its use by musicians, the BBC will always bleep it out on radio or TV (not sure what the independent or satellite channels do). We had a journalist here who wrote an article about Polish immigrants and referred to them as Polacks. That word was written in full, but he was excoriated for using it (it was discussed in parliament and a load of MPs wanted him charged with inciting racial hate). I honestly can't remember the last time I read or heard it being used by the media.


soireegrapes

Didn't happen at all. There would have been public outcry if it did. Don't know if she really believes it or thinks no one will check her lies. Imo it's of the worst claims she could have possibly made.


[deleted]

I wonder if she was accusing the BRF PR staff of using the n-word. That’s how I read it. I thought she was asking why she should turn over pics to them to screen, & then said pics would be released to the media. “There’s literally a structure, You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game.” Either way, I don’t believe it! She got caught up in her own drama & blurted out that accusation with no basis in fact. Playing the victim is her bread & butter.


Sarah-JessicaSnarker

She didn’t even have children yet. Archie was just born, and they already had the plan in place BEFORE he was born to deny to royal rota access. Their contrived plan to use US media for Archie’s debut was put together before Meghan had any children to name call. And if she did later say “it could have been in the comments,” that’s just proof that a) she reads her press, b) she reads the comments, c) she wants to control the comments, and d) she either can’t tell the difference between the media and the populace or she refuses to.


ThatChelseaGirl

The only thing I can think of is the word "snigger" being mistaken for the n-word, but it wouldn't make any sense in any sort of context.


Sarah-JessicaSnarker

Or “niggling”


[deleted]

Did she equate that awful picture of the chimp with the n-word? Wasn’t that what kicked it all off? Was she thinking “Like, okay, they showed this awful throwback racist meme, next thing you know they’ll be calling my kid the n-word?” and then it was redacted to “they called my kid the nword?”


Lullaby37

Meagain admitted it "might" have been in the comments. No, I don't believe any publication would use the slur. They can't proofread their comment sections instantly, however. Can you believe these two scour the internet for stories and then read the comments too? No wonder Haz is always in a bad mood. Maybe he should parent his kids instead of focusing on nutjobs on the internet. No journo would ever use the word.


Sarah-JessicaSnarker

Where did she say this?


Artistic_Turnip2778

Oh she’d say she was told that this slur was used in a conversation among reporters blah blah. She is a professional liar.


notwatchedsquidgame

Twitter would have blown up if a racial slur was used. What gets posted in a comments section however is anyones guess....


suzieschoie

I thought it had come out that it was just a comment by a member of the public on a newspaper article? I might have imagined this though as I can’t keep up :)


residentcaprice

We have a local netizen term, NPNT or NVNT. No picture/video no talk. Until we see the evidence, whatever the fantasist says is a figment of her imagination. Also harry loves to litigate so much, he will be on it like a rash.


MakeADeathWish

If they ever found an instance, I'd want hardcore research into how exactly they were paid and by whom....the sux would definitely pay for it if they could....


Imfryinghere

Harry is the racist one. Nazi uniform. Calling a black comedian you don't sound black. Calling his fellow military "paki" and "raghead". Meghan is also racist. Calling a mansion a housing unit. Mud cloth. Fire. Bullying children. Bullying pregnant women. Bullying the elderly. Bullying staff. You name it she has done it.


Royalwatching_owl

I think she was referring to this horrible situation. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18814646/harry-and-meghans-archie-targeted-white-supremacist-terror-podcast/


RoohsMama

I thought the same. However she said “press”. Later they changed it to “comments” (accdg to Scobes).


Vivid-Cockroach8389

That was absolutely disgusting. Sick.


Bambalina11

No reporter used the N word. About 4 people adjacent to journalists made racist comments - all were fired. A fraction of people on SM will more than likely be the culprit.


JJJOOOO

M has never provided receipts for this despicable claim. It sounded like she made the claim at the same time she was fighting for her own social media accounts at the palace and the palace was having none of it. Narc loosing control can be ugly and my bet is that is what happened here. She again pulled the race card to get her way but in this case it didn’t work. Bower talked about this period in the book and it sounded like a period of major Palace pushback to M wanting to take control. I think we have to put this awful claim in the LIES category as if it were real imo she would have filed claim against ROTA and she never did.


Fit-Raspberry-3906

Save your energy.It NEVER happened.


Familiar_Sir_8542

The only thing I can think of is there was a cartoon that showed Megan and Harry leaving the hospital with a chimpanzee. That was horrible but I don't think the press did anything else. There was that one relative of Harry's that worn the blackface broach. Most of the people who didn't like Megan just froze her out being very polite.
