#KeepThatSameEnergy: Twitter Flames Folks Lauding Meghan Markle’s Royal Swirl-Mance After Bashing Donald Glover’s Vanilla Queen
Twitter Explodes Over Meghan Markle Vs. Donald Glover “Hypocrisy”
Thousands of tweets about how Meghan Markle and her mom overcame divorce and racial bias to marry into royalty went viral as fast as they were posted over the weekend. But, Donald Glover fans are calling bullsh*t on all of the praise the Duchess of Sussex received.
Imagine, you were emotionally abused by your step kids, you were isolated by your ex-husbands family for being black, your husband then divorced you, you had to raise your daughter on your own and she’s now a PRINCESS. There’s a God I’m telling you. https://t.co/WW0Sq1bFmv

Just a week before their royal nuptials, Donald Glover was getting dragged for having a vanilla Queen. The rapper (Childish Gambino) went viral himself with his “This Is America” video. Some folks took issue, feeling like he was pandering to the “black plight” for clicks, when in real life, he is married to a white woman.
BUT, here is the thing..
1. It would never be an anomaly for folks to see someone like Donald Glover’s baby mama mixing with the Royals.
2. Folks brought up some problematic old tweets where Glover had allegedly said Black women smelled like burnt weave (honestly, we can’t find it anywhere).
Maybe he has been problematic in the past. In a recent profile with the New Yorker, Glover admits he’s more self-aware after going from being an art school kid with all white friends to being around his bigger, darker skinned brother in adulthood who is easily profiled.
Experiences like the fact that his brother Steven was denied an airbnb because they “didn’t like his posture”, and how he displays genuine experiences of black characters in “Atlanta” speak to his growth, but Twitter likes to argue.
Hit the flip to see what they’re all saying. Where do you stand on the issue?
So first black women bashed @donaldglover for having a white wife and speaking about the problems in #ThisIsAmerica but now they are in "Yass Bitch Yass" mode for Meghan Markle marrying the prince. What happened to equality in love and race? #ThisIsAmerica #Interracial #Equality pic.twitter.com/RefU6moVJl

Meghan markle identifies as a biracial women and has never claimed to be pro black. Donald Glover is a black man that says he's pro black, but married white. They're totally different. I don't know why black men keep comparing the two

Sistas, if you’re mad at Donald Glover, but happy for Meghan Markle, you’re a hypocrite.. #RoyalWeddding

I haven’t seen a Black female celebrity who exclusively dates non-Black men use her platform to degrade Black men. The only remotely close example was Issa Rae and I have my own opinions about that so I’m not understanding the Donald Glover / Meghan Markle debate.

Last week y'all we're killing Donald Glover online about his child's mother being white, but yesterday y'all were in "Yaaaasss bitch yassss" mode for Meghan Markle. What I miss? 🤔

So y’all were mad asf at @donaldglover but y’all celebrate #MeghanMarkle. And then y’all too woke to see their love during the wedding but refuse to acknowledge her powerful, strong, single, black mother. And you wonder why we can’t unite. Y’all mean.

Those who love Meghan Markle finding love and happiness are the same who give not one f**k about who @donaldglover married. All Black women do not feel the same way about everything. TF pic.twitter.com/pMPUgSMO7R

Ebro. Donald Glover has bashed Black women while fetishizing Asian women and you're saying you "didn't see the same energy" with Meghan?? Has Meghan Markle expressed her love for white men whilst throwing Black men under the bus?? You a grown ass man. https://t.co/hFw92ztmHT

Dude posted on my TL some shit about black women mad at Donald Glover w. a white woman while cheering for Meghan Markle, calling it hypocrisy. Black women are rarely celebrated, rarely protected and rarely deemed beautiful. Learn the value of context.
