Who is Meghan Markle<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s my second-favorite alum of USA Network\u2019s<\/a> Suits<\/em><\/a>, the possessor of an alliterative name that kinda, sorta sounds like the name of a women\u2019s hosiery brand sold only at Macy\u2019s and the new fiancee of Prince Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your second-favorite alum of Suits<\/em>? Who would be first?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gina Torres<\/a>, of course. I sincerely believe they actually called the show Suits<\/em> because of a pitch meeting years ago where USA<\/a> asked the pitch guy for the premise of the show, and the pitch guy was like, \u201cFive words. Gina Torres in power suits.\u201d And the USA people were like, \u201cSold! Let\u2019s do it.\u201d And then they built that whole lawyer-drama mess around that premise…<\/p>\n

…There\u2019s also been a conversation about whether Meghan Markle even deserves this type of specifically black-ass attention because she might not identify as black. Basically, she\u2019s not black<\/em> enough to get any love from black people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, I know. And that\u2019s fucking dumb. Meghan Markle was born black and is gonna die black. Her mom is from freakin\u2019 Crenshaw, Calif.<\/em><\/a>, for Chrissake. If your mom is from the exact-same place where \u201cI hate the back of Forest Whitaker\u2019s neck<\/a>\u201d was said, any offspring she has will be blacker than a bottle of S-curl<\/a> activator. It\u2019s science…<\/p>\n
