Trina is taking accountability.

Yesterday, the rapper made headlines the world over when she branded those rioting in protest of George Floyd‘s death “animals.”

Speaking on her Miami radio show, she went on to implicitly bemoan Black on Black crime and suggest that it was Black people ruining Black businesses – including that of her friend.

Now, after trending for almost 24 hours, the femcee is speaking up and out.

Meghan Markle has condemned racism in a powerful, impassioned speech delivered in salute of the graduating class of her former school, Immaculate Heart.

The US actress turned British royal has been the target of vile scrutiny, which many maintain is centered around her race.

So intense was the critique that Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from their position as Senior Royals and relocated to North America.

Now, as the world engages in heated discourse about the death of unarmed Black man George Floyd at the hands of a white Minnesota police officer, Markle is using her voice and platform to speak out in support of the many affected by racial injustice.

Likewise, the three other officers who were fired alongside him – Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng – went from uncharged to charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder, according to court documents.

‘Clarissa Explains It All’ star Melissa Joan Hart has got some explaining to do herself after she posted a photo to Instagram some are deeming ‘tone deaf’ in light of the heightened conversations around racial privilege and cultural sensitivity.

Taking to the platform Monday (June 1), Hart posted a still photo from the 1935 film ‘The Little Colonel’ to celebrate diversity on screen.  The problem?  The focal Black character in the movie, Mr. Bojangles, has long been pointed to as representative of a problematic trope in African American film history (namely due to the limitations of roles available to actors of color during the time period).

Regardless, the TV actress is learning the hard way about racial insensitivity.  See what we mean inside:
