Based on these reactions, is it a reach to say these women were communicating an image of black women desperate for white validation? Is there a notable difference between "celebrating" and "being overjoyed" and finding "hope" when reading these reactions? Let us know.<br> <br> * A thread I made on twitter compiling many times black media feminists actually used the word "hope" to describe the wedding:<br> * "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement is even more proof that black women can have their happily ever after" by Elizabeth Wellington, a black woman. Says the engagement "gives her life" <a href="http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/elizabeth_wellington/meghan-markle-engagement-prince-harry-race-20171127.html">http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/elizabeth_wellington/meghan-markle-engagement-prince-harry-race-20171127.</a>
