18. DUers are making this about royals instead of racism

We didn't like how the conservative press treated the Obamas either. Everything Barack, Michelle, or Malia or Sasha did was supposedly very scandalous. But completely different treatment of our porn star president and his nude model wife.

Prince Harry's marriage to a mixed race American got more bad press than his pedophile uncle's abuse of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein. It's absolutely deplorable behavior.

Daily Mail is a favorite tabloid of Freepers and other conservative idiots who think the BBC and the Guardian are too liberal.
