When love is the way there’s plenty good room for all of God’s children because when love is the way, we actually treat each other like we’re actually family.

When love is the way, we know that God is the source of us all. #RoyalWedding #HarryAndMeghan

Wait... this little light of mine?! This wedding was so black that they’ll probably have pound cake and do the wobble/electric slide at the reception. #RoyalWedding #HarryAndMeghan

Hello 911, it’s me, Susan.. I’m at Windsor Castle and it’s very ethnic. There’s a black preacher, a black choir and Officer I think a black man with some form of instrument. I fear they’re about to start the wobble. I don’t feel safe: trib.al/94hg7di #RoyalWedding

Hello officer, it’s me, Susan. There’s a prince marrying a black woman... this cannot be right. I don’t feel safe. trib.al/94hg7di #RoyalWedding #HarryAndMeghan
