“You will never get the truth out of a narcissist. The closest you will ever come is a story that makes them either the victim or the hero, but never the villain.” Shannon L. Adler, Inspirational Author

We saw it. With our own eyes. Oprah and Meghan. Perfect together.
In fact, there could be no better pairing, except perhaps when Obama and Oprah attended Rev. Wright’s “God Damn America” Black Liberation church.
They all have a bone to pick with the United States.
In Sunday’s Oprah interview, Meghan Markle wanted to portray herself as a compassionate “rescuer” of chickens and men;
As a role model to little, black, South African girls, who, she said, could look at her and see someone that looked like themselves;
But mostly to portray herself as a victim of racism.
Whatever was intended, she and Harry came off as spoiled brats.
A lot of people don’t own houses on 167 acres in Maui, or a $14-million-dollar home down the block from Oprah’s in L.A., and those people were annoyed by Oprah’s 2-hour interview with the Sussexes.
A furious Piers Morgan even quit his Good Morning Britain over it.
“I don’t believe almost anything that comes out of her mouth,” Morgan said. “And I think the damage she’s done to the British monarchy and to the Queen at a time when Prince Philip is lying in hospital, is enormous and frankly contemptible.”
He’s right. No matter how you slice it, the Queen took a beating.
It’s hard to feel sorry for a B-list actress who says she “gave up everything” to marry a prince.
So, what exactly was this interview intended to do?
Even though Oprah was careful to disclaim that the couple received no payment, some said the interview was to advertise the Sussex brand.
To announce “Archewell,” their nonprofit foundation, whose stated goal is “to uplift and unite communities, one act of compassion at a time.”
And their agreements with Spotify and NetFlix.
Some said it was to further the business collaboration between Harry and Oprah, in their work on the Apple “Mental Health Documentary” scheduled to air on April 10.
Whatever it was, Harry’s part of the interview fit in, as he revealed he had come to the realization that he felt mentally “trapped” in his royal life.
And Meghan revealed that she was so mentally distressed that she considered suicide over the toxic treatment she received from the British press.
To those of us who have loved the ginger-haired Harry since he was a baby, we never thought he looked “trapped,” and certainly not as unhappy as he does now.
In fact, as Meghan’s dad, Thomas Markle pointed out, he seemed pretty contented with his life, especially when he was playing naked pool in Las Vegas in 2012, and wearing a Nazi outfit in 2005.
He was a fun guy back then.
“I don’t think the British royal family are racist at all,” Tom Markle added. “I don’t think the British are racist. I think Los Angeles is racist, California is racist but I don’t think the Brits are.”
He’s right. And if Meghan was selling racism, Oprah was the gal to pick up what she was putting down.
Throughout her life, Oprah has told of her being abused as a child. By family members.
She turned that experience into a war against American slavery.
It found expression in her projects, Alice Walker’s Color Purple, Beloved, the PBS documentary on The Black Church, The 1619 Project.
None of the projects praised the U.S. for being the only country in the world that has no slavery.
And none of her efforts were directed toward black-on-black crimes. Now. Especially in Chicago. Her home town.
American racism was the message both women were pushing Sunday night, and for two such privileged women to be as ungrateful to their country as they were, well, it was sickening to watch.
Meghan related how she suffered. The sense of isolation she felt. The hate. The bullying. And she did it after wearing a $4,700-dollar Armani dress with a floral symbolism of "spirituality" for the interview. And yet the Duchess didn’t seem to have learned much from her horrific experience.
She certainly did not learn how to treat others who had been similarly bullied, persecuted, attacked and isolated.
Like her own president.
Instead she and Harry acted like her pals in Hollywood, bragging smugly that they would not return to the U.S. from Canada until Trump was out of office.
Of course, they came back, because they had to. It was about the timing.
The Chinese virus killed their plans to use their titles to make money. The Crown pulled funding for security in Canada. And Harry’s dad cut him off financially.
There was no Hollywood red carpet. No Disney voice overs.
The Sussexes’ chickens had come home to roost.
Hold the line, America.
