In a televised conversation, Williams asked Vanzant if she could offer any tips for reentry into the dating game and finding a compatible mate. Vanzant asked Williams if she would lower her lofty standards and date a bus driver. When Williams replied, “If he owns the bus,” many people on social media had a meltdown, proclaiming that she, an educated, high-earning, attractive woman, was asking for too much and needed to lower her expectations.
Come again? Expecting and wanting a partner who matches her ambitions and income level is too much? Seriously? What is gained by women, who already make less than men on average, to acquiesce to the bare minimum, especially those functioning in a race-conscious society while also being Black? We are only provided one life and cannot reduce ourselves to survival when we actually want to thrive, just for the illusion of a relationship.Saturday marked the coronation of King Charles.
No matter what the biracial duchess did, said or accomplished, she was vilified and ridiculed, even as her sister-in-law, Princess Kate, acted similarly with next to no scrutiny and, of course, as Prince Andrew was facing scandal due to allegations he assaulted an underage girl while associating with the late Jeffrey Epstein, who died while being detained after being charged with sex trafficking.
When nothing you do is considered right, no matter how much you play by the rules, the smartest thing to do is no longer play. The press was downright feverish at the prospect of picking apart everything the duchess might do, say or wear, so Meghan simply decided to not navigate the constantly moving goal posts and stayed home for the coronation. Meghan was still the talk of the kingdom, yet stood her ground with all she didn’t say.
A time to protest, a time to fall back. Using your time wisely is respecting yourself, and sayings like these taught me how it was done — just like Eboni and Meghan.
