I don’t see this to be appetizing. Leaders with differences. This world, anything is bound to happen.
He is indeed a staunch racist everyone is queuing up to meet and greet the new king including my African brother but the new king deliberately ignored the poor black guy.
Welcome to Hell my African brother you should have never bothered yourself attending the funeral of one of our greatest oppressors Her Majesty who took away our human dignity,freedom and peace,our land and all our wealth and subjected us to extreme poverty……
You black fitting your self
You black people fitting your self
What’s wrong with you all can’t you see how swollen his fingers are just relax give him some time and space to mourn
Means he can’t step in Africa! Period
The black thing would have dirtified the white colour…prejudice is simply a cowardly tool of self preservation blinded by basic ignorance
The black thing would have dirtified the white colour…prejudice is simply a cowardly tool of self preservation blinded by basic ignorance ….if not deliberate he should publicly apologise
White people never love black men
Sounds to me like he is a racist
Everything is racists with us black people.
If true then he is a racist yes sad
The new king is not for the so called commonwealth which is full of people of color. In the video it’s clearly seen that Charlie avoided to shake hands with the BLACK MAN, but continued after waving at an invincible man beyond the camera.
He refused because African Americans are claiming the glory that was taken from Africa including the diamonds that are in the British Crown
Good, what they went to do there while they know how they killed our grand fathers and stole our mineral products?
He will know that one day in the eyes of God we are the same
Genesis 9:1 God told Noah to have more children and fill the World …
At this time there was only Noah and his three sons from them we all are born from ( white, black and Asians) so I don’t think the King did it deliberately because he is a fear God person and knows if we All share death it is because no special person is here rather the children of the same parent regardless of skin of color!!! Homo sapiens is our common race
This is problem with social media, somebody writes a racialist remark about King Charles and other racists see their chance to criticize. He is not racist and always loved traveling to Africa meeting black people
I do agree with the criticism towards the king. We know their attitude towards us all along. I’m surprised why this brother went after all. Whom does he moan for??she was not our relative.inasmch as most white accept us.some Dnt .
To hell with the king
Yes now you’ll understand why Malema hates to be fooled.
The king deliberately turned his face aside when he got to the black man.He shook hands with the man next to him.
He is nothing but a fucken racist
