Comments on: Flap Over Prince Harry Racial Slurs

U.K. Prince Apologizes After Being Heard In 2006 Video Using "Hate Word"

I hardly find referring to a Pakistani as a "little ***" a racial slur. Was he short as well as having darker skin? Is this what the idiotic pc fuss is all about? Folks are just too sensitive and ridiculous about such matters. Let''s all hold hands, form a circle and sing Kumbaya kids. That should make all of us feel better and included.

There is another interesting angle to this story and it focuses on whether or not Sarah Palin is right or wrong about there being a double standard in the media.
Palin%u2019s contention is that Caroline Kennedy is getting %u201Ckid glove%u201D treatment because she is someone who lost a parent suddenly and violently in what turned out to be a public spectacle surrounded by rumors of conspiracy in the death of her parent. She then had to be subjected to the spectacle of her surviving parent marrying someone the public didn%u2019t care for and who everyone considered to be marrying that parent for the undeserved social advancement they got from the marriage.
Harry is someone who lost a parent suddenly and violently in what turned out to be a public spectacle surrounded by rumors of conspiracy in the death of his parent. He then had to be subjected to the spectacle of her surviving parent marrying someone the public didn%u2019t care for and who everyone considered to be marrying that parent for the undeserved social advancement they got from the marriage.
The difference is that people like the idea of Caroline%u2019s family being royalty and hate the idea of Harry%u2019s family being royalty.

Harry was probably just talking the same way as everyone else in his outfit.
As any honest veteran would tell you, your sons and daughters are over in Irag calling the people "towel heads" and a lot of other names that would get automatically censored if printed here.
If you give any young person a weapon and put them in a position of control over another they will see that person as inferior and verbal abuse comes first and soon followed by physical abuse. To believ otherwise is naive.
As we have seen, military PR will flood the media with pictures of soldiers feeding children and suppress pictures of guards abusing prisoners. You wil of course see 100 pictures of the good things to every one picture of the bad things, but nobdoy is shredding the pictures of the good things.
Harry''s problem is that he forgot who he was and was thinking he was one of the gang. He forgot that he was more of target for paparazzi than snipers.

"We get to vote on our leaders."

Firstly, the Queen has no power over government. She is just for trotting out for ceremonial occasions.

Secondly, look at the $hit that get''s voted into office in the US. With an uneducated electorate like ours the enemy is internal.

This incident happened in 2006. Why is it news today? In today''s world, racial bias changes minute to minute. Get over it and just do what''s right in your own life.
