I wasn't going to watch it, as I said before. I really could care less about the royal family. I watched it out of spite. Piers Morgan was spewing such venom, I had to watch.
I've always found the "I forgot you were Black" comment troubling. I'm sure your friend meant no harm, but it's a strange thing to say, isn't it? I'll bet you never once in your life told a white friend you forgot they were white. Think about it. Doesn't it sound completely absurd?
I may have to write a story on the dumb shit people say to people like us.
