Topic: Monarchy

CNN's Don Lemon argued that the British monarchy is inherently built on a racist structure of heredity, bloodlines, and a caste system. Lemon expressed that people of color should not be surprised by allegations of racism within the institution. The hosts critique Lemon's defense of Prince Harry, questioning how a highly educated royal could be "surprised" by the exclusionary nature of his own family's history.

The hosts apply their analysis of media influence to the public narrative surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They suggest the media portrays Harry as "pussy whipped" and Meghan as the "superwoman" taking charge. They argue that taking down the monarchy—the ultimate patriarchy—serves a larger ideological goal of attacking nationalism and traditional male roles.
