What?! I watched Oprah Winfrey’s much hyped interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. I hope you saw it too. The subject of race was brought up by Oprah many times. When Meghan told Oprah that there had been some discussions with members of the royal family, or “the firm” as Meghan called it, Oprah said, “WHAT?!” The talks centered around baby Archie’s color. Would he be too dark to represent royalty? Why was that even brought up as a royal issue? It’s a pity that the subject had to [...]

What Tiger Woods Means to MULTIRACIAL America This is my opinion on Terence Moore’s CNN opinion piece carried by CNN. Moore is an Atlanta-based sports columnist and commentator. He should stick to sports and less time on racial identity. -Susan Graham I just read the article called “What Tiger Woods means to Black America” on CNN, which may not be responsible for Moore’s content, but certainly gave him a national platform in which to spew misinformation and some weird self-importance about picking Tiger’s race. Tiger Woods is multiracial. He [...]
