Prince Harry Says People ‘Don’t Understand’ Their ‘Unconscious’ Racism
2019-08-02
Falling in love is easy. Herewith a demonstration that giving one’s heart wisely is perhaps a bit more difficult. Or possibly it’s just that he takes after his daddy more than we realized.
She seems to have taken after his daddy quite a bit.
[BREITBART] Progressive Prince Harry
 has said that people expressing "racist" behaviour do so because of their upbringing, but may not know they are acting in a racist way because they "don’t understand" their "unconscious biases".

The Duke of Sussex made the comments whilst he was interviewing famed anthropologist Dr Jane Goodall for September’s issue of Vogue magazine, which is being guest-edited by his wife, American former TV actress Meghan Markle.

Speaking of the "stigma" which is "handed down from generation to generation", Prince Harry said that "unconscious bias" is "something which so many people don’t understand".

Prince Harry continued: "Despite the fact that if you go up to someone and say, ’What you’ve just said, or the way that you’ve behaved, is racist’ ‐ they’ll turn around and say, ’I’m not a racist.’

"’I’m not saying that you’re a racist, I’m just saying that your unconscious bias is proving that, because of the way that you’ve been brought up, the environment you’ve been brought up in, suggests that you have this point of view ‐ unconscious point of view ‐ where naturally you will look at someone in a different way.'"

#18  Projection is a major fact among the left. If the "elite" have racist feelings the unwashed masses must have it a thousand times worse.

#16  It's really too bad. I admired Prince Harry. He joined a combat unit on the front line until some asshole reporter blew his cover. He then became an attack helicopter pilot. He was putting his life where his mouth was.
I fear that his wife has "mellowed" him.

#15  Prince Charles (who wants to be King but his mother won't let him).

At 70 he is now both the oldest and the longest-serving crown prince. Mummy is 93 and has promised to die in the saddle — and her mother lived to be 101. Still, it is probably just as well that that the British monarch reigns rather than rules — his supposed dimness and very real crackpottery won’t be able to cause much harm to the country.

#14  I had really hoped that this was about Prince Charles (who wants to be King but his mother won't let him). But no. Idiocy runs in that family.

Thanks again to all our founding fathers.

Mindreading is an awesome talent, Harry. Us normal people have to rely on observing peoples actions to decide if they are bigoted, prejudiced or just plain ornery in nature.

#12  His family benefited from imperial expansion across half the non-white world. Unless he wants to start emptying the British Museum and return the valuables perhaps he should keep his opinions to himself.

#9  "’I’m not saying that you’re a racist, I’m just saying..."

… that you are without having the balls to say it directly. Just what we need - yet another sanctimonious lecture by our 'betters'.

#8  Harry drank the kool-aid I see. Call me a racist, even a unconscious racist and I'll make sure you're shitting your teeth for a week, chum.

#4  Western Civ is not racist. It's a way of life. So successful, huge aspects of it have/are being copied by the Japanese, South Koreans, Singaporeans, Taiwanese, and now the Chinese. If you can't deal with arrangement that rose more people out of poverty and hard scrap living into a world where obesity is a problem not famine, then go enjoy the fruits of other peoples 'racism'.

#2  Prince William will be King (after Charles), not Harry.

#1  If it's empirically proven, it's not bias. Being wary of natural phenomena with thousands of instances per day around you is just prudent.

But he's beyond seeing that now.
