Forget the politicians …. Let Harry and Meghan take over !
I
would
not usually watch a royal wedding but I'm so glad I did. The
racially mixed marriage
of Harry and Meghan was
a breath of fresh air and I loved the fact that her blackness was
embraced and
proudly
displayed. Of course, in
order for this to be possible, it needed the approval of the Queen
and it was apparent that she'd given it.
As
I watched the confusion and shock of many in the audience I thought
of how many changes have occurred in my lifetime. I was 3 years old
when Edward VIII abdicated in favor of marrying the American divorcee Wallace Simpson. Now
it is 82 years later and a gutsy couple and an equally gutsy Queen
with the power to make it happen are revising and updating history when it's needed most.
When
the
Reverend Curry so fervently declared ... “love is the answer” I
imagined Trump reacting to those words.
I
can see him scratching his head and thinking (in the words of
the Tina
Turner
song) What's
love got to do with it? He, and all the politicians that wallow in
the swamp with him are incapable of understanding a concept
that is so pure and void
of hatred and deception.
As
Harry
and Meghan take the high ground I can only hope that
we who want a world filled with love for all will have the guts to follow their lead.

I so agree!
We watched, and I liked it. The sermon was a little much for my taste. Five minutes would have done fine.
It was a breath of fresh air to witness two adorable people, so much in love and committed to giving back, hold center stage. All the barriers gracefully crossed was long over due. Kudos.
I watched it in bits and pieces, but I was impressed. A true fairy-tale marriage in real time! it was exciting, and I am not into 'royalty' like many are.
Sorry if Bishop Curry's message was a tad long for some folk - but I have sat thru many a black preacher's sermon (mostly funerals) and trust me, Curry's was short!
But most of all, his message was so true... and so needed at this time of open hate in our country.
Well said, Ginnie, and I agree with your comments. The sermon might not have been to the linkings of some folks but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
