'We all know that sometimes things make you feel angry or sad or hurt or upset — and that’s not a gender or racially specific feeling. Yet, this trope of the angry Black woman, it persists.' Markle said.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, recently addressed the stereotype of the “angry Black woman" in the latest episode of her podcast, “Archetypes."
Diving into the subject, Meghan referenced a book she read during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, called “Algorithms of Oppression," which examines how the digital age has influenced our perception of each other. One part of the book talks about how search engines' autofill features have the potential to influence people's thoughts.
“Those were the seeds being planted,” Meghan noted at the start of the podcast. “We all know that sometimes things make you feel angry or sad or hurt or upset — and that’s not a gender or racially specific feeling. Yet, this trope of the angry Black woman, it persists."
