The Duke of Sussex is to become chief impact officer at the US coaching and mental health firm, BetterUp.

Prince Harry said in a statement that he was "really excited" about taking on the new role. His exact duties, hours and any payment are not clear.

 

Does anyone else think this is an ill advised appointment? Didn't he say in the interview "I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to help my wife." When Megan was talking about feeling suicidal and needing mental health services? Is he now an expert since the interview?

It will be.......show your face once a week.....three to four hours.......don't say anything even vaguely controversial......money will be banked every Friday.......bit like MP's and their non-executive directorships. 

 

No way he is actually going to be responsible for anything.

IMO that's more to do with his "fame" than his qualifications. Unless it involves flying a helicopter, does he have any mental health qualifications?

You have complicated a fairly simple statement of an individual opinion. Nothing to do with Trump, racism or anything else. Morgan has said and then reiterated that he doesn't believe Markle. That is his opinion and he must be entitled to be free to speak it - just like you are entitled to post your opinion.

 

Not sure about the complicated part. Morgan believes, or at least states, that there is no racism within the monarchy in the UK. Sure, he is entitled to that opinion. And I am fairly certain there is. And like you say, I am entitled to my opinion. Which one of us is correct. Your guess is as good as mine. I never like to confuse my opinions with "empirical facts". No pun intended.

Living with his wife I'm sure be used to mental health issues.

More complication. He simply said he doesn't believe Markle. You are just adding in other remarks that Marmite Morgan that are separate to the issue and were not made by him but allegedly made by The Royals. What do guesses have to do with "empirical facts"? No pun identified.

I think in this case, "Empirical facts" is closer to the mark. Anything to defend the empire. Anything.

Empirical facts is correct as it pertains to data.

Imperial pertains to an empire... hence why he correctly pointed out that there was/is no pun.

 

Please stop refering to all whites as cruel racists and white skinned folks being boring. This isn't the first time either...

Your profile pic was of a white guy and we just have to hope that you are in fact a white guy. Either way your behaviour has been noted as racist in a few threads now.

I have certainly never been labeled as racist by anyone who knows me. And again, I have never said all white people are boring. I am a white man. A Caucasian. And I am simply pointing out, that we do not have a particularly good record, when it comes to treating other races fairly. I have never once said all white people, or the majority of white people. Why are we so sensitive as a race? Why can't we just analyze the history of our race objectively?

How do you know you have never been labeled a racist by anyone who knows you? Do you think they would tell you.?

 

People of all colors enslaved people, white people abolished slavery.

Really? Never? You said it in this thread two weeks ago...TWICE.

I'm not trolling you. You specifically said you never said it...when you did.

 

The third one looks a bit racist towards African Americans - you didn't like that term and chose to teach him why he was wrong to self determine as an African American. Racism or cultural appropriation? Either way man, time to move on. You are white. Live with it.

Yeah but white people started it... We shouldn't give them (white folks in the past) any credit for abolishing an abominable practice that they started. (seriously)

It might shock you to know that white people did not start it but the Atlantic slave trade was manly run by Europeans, however. That said, it does not make the involvement of the white man any less bad.

Lumping all white people together(or any race for that matter) and chastising them without any evidence is the very epitome of racism. What is unfortunate is that it is almost exclusively "woke" posters that do this, and then have the nerve to criticize non woke posters for the very thing they themselves are guilty of.

 It was disturbing to see Kamala Harris's niece Meena Harris rush to blame all white people for the Boulder shooting, and then double down on her racism and stupidity when she found out she incorrectly blamed white people by saying (again incorrectly) that she assumed the shooter was white because otherwise he would have been killed by cops. Inflammatory, disgusting, bigotted, racist, divisive, stupid behavior, and I did not hear of her being arrested for hate crimes and banned from twitter which she surely will be. Not as if double standards are legal now, or are they? I can only imagine the outburst if it was one of the Trump children doing what Meena did.

I assume you are being sarcastic. I doubt she will suffer any penalty for her words.

Slavery in Iran was abolished in 1929. Mauritania became the last state to abolish slavery - in 1905, 1981, and again in August 2007. Oman abolished slavery in 1970, and Saudi Arabia and Yemen abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from Britain.^[

Sorry, but citing Saudi Arabia is not a good precedent. They are not exactly what we would refer to as model citizens, on any level, and in any regard.

So what? I was replying to the poster claiming white people started slavery. Last time I looked Saudis were not Caucasian.

Troll post removed.

Harris' attitude towards her niece differs just a wee bit from that of the grifter-in-chief towards his children:

"US Vice President Kamala Harris and her family will uphold the highest ethical standards, her spokesperson said, asserting that it is the policy of the White House that her name should not be used in connection with any commercial activity.

The statement comes following media reports that the White House has asked Meena Harris, niece of the vice president, to stop "using her aunt to boost her brand".

"The Vice President and her family will uphold the highest ethical standards and it is the White House's policy that the Vice President's name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities that could reasonably be understood to imply an endorsement or support," Sabrina Singh, Deputy Press Secretary to the Vice President, told PTI."

I don't know what you mean by cancel. How much legal authority over Meena Harris do you believe V.P. Harris has?

I strongly suggest you get back on the topic and stay there.
