Who is Nadira Goffe? Let's ask AI, because 10 seconds ago, I didn't know who she was either:
"Nadira Goffe is a writer, reviewer, and editor whose work focuses on Black representation in popular culture. Currently, she is Operations and Editorial Assistant at Slate Magazine."
There we go. That's how Goffe got on my radar, I saw her article at Slate Magazine. I was stupid and clicked on this article: Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Is Proof She Should’ve Been Allowed to Stick to Being a Royal.
Uhhh, that's quite an interpretation of what happened in England.
Just a reminder, why isn't Meghan Markle a royal?
Did the royal family try to assassinate her? No.
Did the royal family try to assault her? No.
You want to cut into my diatribe? No. For 500 years, the royal family KILLED people they didn't like and got away with it. If the royal family was nice, they sent the person they didn't like off to die in a war on the other side of the globe.
There is no one in the royal family, on the record, that said that they don't like Meghan Markle. If Queen Elizabeth II REALLY didn't like Meghan Markle, all she would have had to have said was "I don't like Harry's wife." English citizens would have pulled Meghan into the streets and beaten her with large sticks.
But that's not happened. Meghan Markle bagged herself a prince and thought that she and Harry should be the King and Queen of England. What happened to Meghan was that she was the "victim" of perceived slights and microaggressions.
Again, if the royal family REALLY threatened her, Meghan would call for the royal family to be abolished. She didn't do that, because, one day, she still wants to be Queen.
Markle voluntarily left England because she didn't like being part of the royal family, which is her prerogative.
Goffe argues that-

If I didn't read the article because it was behind Slate's paywall, what are we doing here?
That's the funny part. Even though at Slate the article was behind a paywall, I then googled the exact headline and <poof> the article was free at Yahoo! Entertainment.
So I read Goffe's gibberish, and that's exactly what it was, gibberish, and then got to the money shot: "The next time the bloodthirsty British media decides to mount a racially motivated hate campaign against an innocent woman, please, for the love of all that’s good, think of the rest of us first."
Wow, that quote makes me think that Goffe's revisionist history may be a paid ad, that's how it got to Yahoo!
So I went to the comments section:
