How awful for her, hope she won’t need a whip around to keep the lights on
The whole going to the media thing is a pretty big deal.
It’s not really “on” anyone, just that both parties could do better. Not about winning some moral battle.
One could not see something as automatically racist and one could ask better questions. Simple really.
She tweeted.
What a pointless comment, I am sure neither does Ngozi Fulani.
That’s her prerogative, we don’t know the tonality at play here but if it was dismissive or haughty then yeah she has the right to wonder wtf this woman was playing at.
If her intention was to genuinely be curious then there are other ways she could have gone about it.
I see people are also missing her moving the ladies hair out of the way also which may add to any feelings of violation.
Just read any news report, she quoted in them and she uses violated In reference to the incident
What ways do you go about being curious about someone’s origins without asking directly? Clearly ms fulani knew exactly what she was being asked, it’s not such a feat to say I was born in the U.K. but my family is from x place… does that take away from her Britishness no, does that answer the question without any silliness? Yes.
Not in this one
Why did she touch her?
You’re conveniently forgetting that fact, this whole notion of her being some little old lady that had good intentions is based on what? Fuck all
You make that sound like a bad thing
To weak minded people with nothing much about them, yeah I guess it’s fine
Do you think she cared that much about it? If she did she would put more emphasis on the conversation? People touch people’s hair all the time to see name badges, or is it racist to touch a black persons hair? At most you can she invaded her personal space which would agree on.
Fair enough…she also said this.
Plus the interview happened after the woman left her fake non job.
After news of Lady Hussey’s resignation, Ms Fulani said the “level of damage” by a representative of the palace must be “addressed”, but that she had not called for personal action against her.
“She’s an elder,” she said. “This does not please me.”
Oh please she wouldn’t have tweeted it out if that was the case would she
Yeah thats that thing I said 3 times in this thread already lol
You can’t have it both ways. Her words are either meaningful in whole or not at all.
Why can’t she listen and accept the womans answer.
She wasn’t being clever or cute. She answered her question and then embellished it by giving her family background.

Words mean very little when actions are contrary to them
Also that charity she runs is literally based around women from Africa and the Carribbean. Can see why someone might ask questions about heritage.
