16. No, but their naive shock that it was possible to experience

Dec 2022

These things is tiresome. Michelle Obama never made herself to be a victim. She knew what she was up against. Michelle and Barrack expected the racism being the first and they never complained. Harry crying about William yelling at him for leaving the royal family is nothing. People have gotten into that and more for missing a family Thanksgiving!

I find them annoying, my opinion. They are doing themselves no favors with these shows. They are not going to receive sympathy or empathy from the majority at the public. This is more of the same from them. If they want off the public stage they should just live their lives. The backlash has already started.

PS Michelle Obama should never be in any way compared to Megan. The 2 live on completely different planets.

WTH does that mean? SheilaAnn Dec 2022 #55

"Can't abide either of them" suggests that you have zero ability to relate. "Snobs" is a slur. n/t Evolve Dammit Dec 2022 #58
