Did you love it when a bit of Meghan’s hair blew out of place and she ignored it? What about her million watt smile? It never left her face.
And her prince, Harry. One cool customer all day. These are beautiful people and at the same time, they are completely normal, nothing at all unusual about either one. Meghan came from the other side of the tracks and Harry had every advantage. These two are outrageously in love and we love them for it. And the people of London were so composed, loving and wonderful too. Happiness to everyone.
Let’s say it was: “overwhelmingly white” as shown by the views of the crowds who were there. There was a black gospel group, The Kingdom Choir who performed ‘Stand By Me’, there was Oprah Winfry, and the featured speaker was a black bobble-headed bishop born in America, Rev. Michael Curry, who was jumping around like a jack-rabbit, pretending he was sermonizing to a group of illiterate Yazoo bayou dwellers in Mississippi, who brought, as admiring Fox commentators/airheads as admiring Fox commentators Shepard Smith and Ainsley Earhardt who fawned, “a wonderful and inspiring American element” to the wedding. [From where, pray tell, does Fox get all these brainless commentators?] She and Shep proved the America that spawned the bishop showed the shallowness of the American psyche.
For thirteen minutes he basically said just one sentence: “How great is love!” But he managed to mix in bits of MLK (yeah, cheater King was an expert on conjugal love!), civil rights, and a social gospel totally extraneous to the supposed occasion.
The Windors, for the most part, sat shocked by the schlock in front of them, stony-faced, enveloped by the tide of nonsense and relevance that had overwhelmed them. Oh, certainly, it was said that the ceremony “combined the best of British tradition with a new and fresh ‘American’ approach.” But what it actually did was point out sharply the truth … about monarchy and monarchs in the modern world. These are people more like the rest of us than different. When the traditional champions of our culture and civilization quit the field, as the Windsors have done, only Evil—the “rough beast”—smiles.
The wretched bishop from America quoted Martin Luther King. Jr. and touched on the legacy of slavery, a legacy that disappeared from America in 1862 when president Lincoln abolished slavery in America 162 years ago regardless of how many present day blacks hold onto it in the present because the slaves were overwhelmingly black. Lincoln was murdered by a black hater. This was the first Royal Wedding ceremony featuring a bride who is American, divorced, biracial, a Catholic, and a commoner. Her mother is black and her father is white. It was attended by an overwhelmingly white crowd. As a child in America I reveled in the exploits of noble knights and cavaliers of old, heroic monarchs of Europe leading their armies and peoples in great battles; I was held spellbound by the courageous exploits of Jean de Valette at the Siege of Malta by the Turks and Don Juan of Austria at Lepanto. I imagined myself on the walls of Vienna in 1683 awaiting the fateful charge of King John Sobieski’s Winged Hussars to destroy the armies of militant Islam. I could visualize Lord Nelson at Trafalgar, or Wellington on the field of Waterloo against that “disrupter of Europe,” Napoleon. There was a seamless connection—a direct line, it seemed—linking those great champions with the America heroes with whom I grew up.
Jumpin’ Bean Curry went low right away saying: “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: ‘We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way.’ The good bishop needs to take his ideas and his sermon of love down to Southern Africa where the murdering of white farmers and whites in general sanctioned by the governments there that goes on every day. So far, according to Curry love hasn’t reformed the old world so it appears love doesn’t work and it doesn’t bring peace to opposing cultures. He should have listed some of the events that oppose his idea, like killing white people in Southern Africa with the compliance of the governments there. It was in very poor taste to bring up the cultural transformation of love when it’s obvious the races hate each other.
“There’s power in love,” he added in his own words. “Do not underestimate it. Anyone who has ever fallen in love knows what I mean.” Well, don’t over-estimate it either. Twitter went to great pains to notice the black touches and remarked how uncomfortable some of the older members of the white royal family looked during Curry’s speech without trying to embarrass the black bishop by noting the failure of love to transform Rhodesia and South Africa from committing genocide against white people there.
The bishop mispoke about love which in the bible is Gods love for man, not man’s love for a woman. The bible didn’t equate love with intercourse but with Christs love for his church. Bishop Curry is all mixed up about love. “Bishop Michael Curry is Meghan’s first act of royal modernization,” proclaimed @vptwritenow. “Cut to Camilla looking confused. Welcome to the Black church, Royals.” In fact the church was overwhelmingly white.
Ahat was missing was the “moral imagination,” a quality of character that integrated a discerning, reverent and appreciative view of life and of history with the annealing power and legacy of our Western Christian civilization and the traditions which they defended.
Frankly Idris Elba was more impressive than the bishop since he’s black and a normal super-Englishman. His fiancee, Sabrina Dhowre was inspiring in Navy Blue with Red and White trim.
Meghan’s unmarried mom has a stud in her nose. She was embarrassingly alone during the ceremony. Pity.
Thankfully the British nutty fascination with odd hats and headdresses didn’t include anything from the American Indian Chief Head Dress collection but it’s noted we didn’t see everyone.
Al Sharpton was agitated because there was insufficient blackness in the crowds. Al seems to despise overwhelmingly white crowds always agitated, never happy unless he’s ripping on whites. Pity.
