CNN host Don Lemon 'shocked' by Meghan Markle's eye opening podcast on race
CNN anchor Don Lemon has praised Meghan Markle for her recent comments about race during her “Archetypes” podcast interview with Mariah Carey
Markle explained in the chat: “For us it’s so different because we’re light-skinned, you’re not treated as a Black woman, you’re not treated as a white woman, you sort of fit in-between.
“If there’s any time in my life that’s been more focused on my race, it’s only once I started dating my husband,” she went on, referencing Prince Harry.“Then I started to understand what it was like to be treated like a Black woman, because up until then I had been treated like a mixed woman and things really shifted.”
“She was a mixed woman. People didn’t really know how to react to her. They didn’t know if she was Black or white, but she didn’t get the full Black treatment because people weren’t sure that she was, you know, Black, I think most African Americans probably looked at her and said, ‘Oh, I know that’s a Black woman,’ but I think the larger culture may not have realised that.”. Lemon said
