After Piers Morgan called out race-baiters, trying to call unfavorable coverage of Megham Merkle, the Duchess of Sussex “racist,” and defended racism’s existence against white people, is now being targeted by a radical feminist group.
The group, InfluencHers, penned a letter to the British media, trying to have advertisers stop sponsoring Morgan’s Show, Good Morning Britain. The letter featured many weak arguments, one of them, saying black people should get special treatment from criticism while on the talk show.
The letter reads, “Having to engage, articulate, and explain racism again and again to predominantly white hosts, white men, and white guests is draining and exhausting. It is frankly traumatizing and wearing to black people who continuously find themselves having to explain the presence and impact of racism to people who refuse to be educated.”
Another sentence in the letter claims journalists asking hard questions to black guests “has an impact on black people’s mental health, our emotional health.”
Because of these wafer-thin accusations, InfluencHers says, “To any advertiser choosing to have their products associated with such misogyny, and disrespect of women, you are telling your customers you have absolutely no regard or respect for them. Is that a message you want to send by continuing to advertise on Good Morning Britain?”
But Piers Morgan is not backing down, writing on Twitter, “So you’re encouraging an advertiser boycott of [Good Morning Britain] because I had the audacity to ask you… to actually provide evidence for your absurd ‘Meghan driven out by media racism’ nonsense? Wow. It’s not ‘bullying’ to challenge bullsh*t. It’s ‘journalism.’”
