Opal Tometi, co-founder of BLM, calls for a boycott of the royal family after claiming the bombing of Meghan

The American co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement is calling for a boycott of the royal family following statements by Meghan Markle in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Opal Tometi, 36, told TMZ that he believed people should stop standing next to the palace after the Duchess of Sussex alleged that a family member raised “concerns” about the potential color of Archie’s skin when she was pregnant.

Meghan told Oprah that there were “worries and conversations about the darkness her skin could have when she was born.”

She added: “This was passed on to me by Harry. It was conversations the family had with him.

The couple refused to name the person who allegedly made the comments, but Prince Harry told Oprah out of the air that neither the queen nor Prince Philip made them.

Tometi, a prominent activist, said the allegations should make people turn their backs on the royal family, according to TMZ.

He said black women like Meghan should be believed when they talk.

Tometi is known as one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement. This group was at the center of protests last summer calling for racial justice in police matters and other issues. While some of the protests were destructive and violent, many were peaceful.

“Opal Tometi is one of the most influential human rights leaders of our time,” says his website. “Opal represents a level of courage and leadership that most of us only read in black history books,” he proclaims.

In a recent biography, he appears in New York and is the son of Nigerian immigrants to the United States. Tometi grew up in the Phoenix area.

Meanwhile, the palace’s privileged have reacted in horror to Meghan’s allegations, saying it was deeply unfair to launch such a damaging accusation, which could defame a large number of royals who cannot defend themselves.

It was also noted that there was no context for the alleged comment, which could shed more light on why it was said.

And there seemed to be a contradiction about when it was said, with Meghan saying it was while she was pregnant, while Harry said it had happened before his wedding.

Winfrey said she was “shocked” by the alleged comment about Archie’s skin tone, but even though he had tried to ask Harry for more information, both on-camera and off-camera, he had refused to divest month.

However, he told her he wanted to make it clear that the person concerned “was not his grandmother or his grandfather”.

The claim came when the duchess was asked why she believed the royal family was trying to prevent her unborn child from becoming a prince.

Meghan had said in the interview, “In those months when she was pregnant, almost all the same time, so we keep in tandem the conversation of ‘you won’t be given security, you won’t be given a degree’ and he also worries and talks about the darkness his skin might have had when he was born. “

He packed it into her discussing how the royal family allegedly withdrew the title of prince from Archie before she was born, and said she felt from the beginning of her pregnancy that the rules were being changed unfairly and inexplicably.

Oprah was stunned and asked if the unidentified person was worried she was “too brown.”

Meghan replied, “If that’s the assumption you’re making, that’s a pretty sure thing.”
