Lady Susan Hussey Apologized To Ngozi Fulani For Asking Her “Where Are You From?”

December 16, 2022 / Posted by:

A couple of weeks ago, Buckingham Palace faced (yet another) racism scandal. On November 29, Ngozi Fulani, CEO of the charity Sistah Space, attended an event at Buckingam Palace. Ngozi says that ten minutes into the reception, THE QUEEN’S former lady-in-waiting and Prince William’s godmother, 83-year-old Lady Susan Hussey, approached her, moved her hair to see her name badge, and rudely interrogated her about where British Ngozi was “really from.” “What part of Africa are you from?” After Ngozi went public with her story, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying that “the individual concerned” was sorry and had resigned from her royal duties. Ngozi did some interviews about the incident, and while many supported her, she also got a lot of shit from Internet randos and British media outlets. Today, People reports that the palace announced that Lady Hussey and Ngozi had finally met “to address the incident.” According to this statement, Lady Hussey offered her “sincere apologies,” and Ngozi accepted.

Lady Susan Hussey, One Of THE QUEEN’S Ladies In Waiting, Resigned After Repeatedly Asking Black Charity CEO Ngozi Fulani Where She Was “Really” From

November 30, 2022 / Posted by:

In a totally shocking turn of events, one of the Royals did something racist. Introducing Lady Susan Hussey, THE QUEEN’S former Woman of the Bedchamber (a top lady-in-waiting), Lady of the Household (that’s the title King Charles gave her after THE QUEEN’S death), and Prince William’s godmother. Last night, 83-year-old Lady Hussey attended a charity event at Buckingham Palace, also attended by Ngozi Fulani. Ngozi runs Sistah Space, an East London non-profit that supports Black women affected by abuse. Ngozi says Lady Hussey approached her ten minutes into the event. She moved Ngozi’s hair (!!!) to look at her name badge and asked, “Where are you from?” Oh no. Ngozi answered, “Sistah Space.” Lady Hussey asked again. Ngozi answered that her charity was based in Hackney. But we all know that’s not what Lady Hussey meant. She wanted to know where Ngozi’s “people” “really” came from. “What part of Africa are you from?” Ngozi transcribed Lady Hussey’s horrifyingly racist line of questioning on Twitter. After the post went viral, the BBC reported that Buckingham Palace had released a statement saying that “the individual concerned” was sorry and had immediately resigned from her position. Prince William also made his own statement. He said, via a spokesperson, that “racism has no place in our society.” Racism? Bad? Groundbreaking.

October 26, 2022 / Posted by:

If you enjoyed linewives vs. bucket bunnies, the rancid Pink Sauce debacle, and the chess cheating scandal, this next story is for you! It’s got Avian bird flu, clout-chasing lesbian farmers, the N-word, and one extremely stressed-out emu named Emmanuel Todd Lopez. Now, I’ve heard bits and pieces of this story, but yesterday Jezebel published a helpful summary. Perfect! Let’s dive in, shall we? But first, a trigger warning: FLORIDA.

Padma Lakshmi Dragged A Washington Post Columnist Who Dissed Indian Food

August 24, 2021 / Posted by:

Gene Weingarten is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist. On Friday, the Post published  69-year-old Gene’s attempt at comedy, a piece entitled, “You Can’t Make Me Eat These Foods,” in which Gene writes about the kinds of food he simply won’t eat (“this is a matter of mature, informed discrimination, not childish biases”). These foods include balsamic vinegar, sweet pickles, anchovies, and Indian food. Like, all of Indian food. Gene writes that Indian food is “the only ethnic cuisine in the world insanely based on one spice” (curry) and he doesn’t get it “as a culinary principle.” Gene received a ton of blowback, including accusations of racism. And Indian-born Padma Lakshmi, food author and host of my beloved Top Chef, was one of them. She tweeted, “On behalf of 1.3 billion people, kindly f**k off.” The 1.3 billion people added, “Yep, what she said!”

Regé-Jean Page Passed On $50K Per Episode Of “Bridgerton”, And He Wasn’t Cast As Superman’s Grandfather Because Of His Race

April 7, 2021 / Posted by:

Two, count ’em, TWO Regé-Jean Page headlines today. This pretty man is taking over! First up is more details about his Bridgerton departure. The Hollywood Reporter claims that Regé-Jean was offered 3 to 5 episodes as a guest star in the second season, and they would’ve paid him $50,000 an episode. But, still, he declined.

Headline #2 has to do with the DC Universe. Yesterday The Hollywood Reporter published a Ray Fisher interview that detailed all the asshole Joss Whedon/racist fuckery on the set of The Justice League. It included multiple allegations of racism against DC co-chairman Geoffrey Johns, including the fact that he didn’t want Regé-Jean to play the lead role of Superman’s grandfather on SyFy’s Krypton TV series because of his race. He didn’t think Superman’s gramps should be Black. Geoff’s rep defended him to THR, saying “he believed fans expected the character to look like a young Henry Cavill.” So they went with Cameron Cuffe, a white actor.

Six Dr. Seuss Books Are Being Pulled From Publication For Racist Depictions

March 2, 2021 / Posted by:

Last month, The Muppets got theirs for being racist, and a disclaimer was added to episodes on Disney+ with questionable racial and cultural depictions. Well, now it’s Dr. Seuss’ time. “I am Sam. Sam I am racist.” Just kidding, but maybe not, as a whole six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published due to racist imagery. And was the imagery racist? It sure was. And as a result, The Grinch will have to go on Red Table Talk to explain himself.
