On Sunday night, Meghan Markle gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey, when she told her side of the story about the rift between her family and the Royal Family. Today on Front Burner, culture writer Kovie Biakolo shares her perspective on the interview, and on issues of race within the British monarchy: "I think there's a dissonance that the monarchy has, that the British public who support the monarchy have, they don't understand that that is a vestige of imperialism, and that vestige of imperialism is associated with racism."
