Sorry for the hiatus. I've been in hospital since Thanksgiving. Home now and feeling much better. Here are some Black royalist heroes, not that you'll see them mentioned in Main Slime Media articles!
From The Mad Monarchist (1 February 2012)
February is "Black History Month" (in the United States at least) and I thought it an appropriate time to highlight some of the topics we have discussed so far relating to Black African royals and royalists. Of course, for more coverage; comments on historic dates, videos and so on, you can click on the Africa and Haiti labels at the bottom of this post. More will be coming this month but, for the moment, here are some of what we have talked about so far:
Colonel Tye, Black loyalist leader in the American Revolution
King Mutesa II of Buganda, better known as "King Freddie" of Uganda
Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia, the victor of Adowa
King Ovonramwen of Benin, leader of one of Africa's oldest nations
Queen Masenate of Lesotho, one of the most respected female royals in Africa
King Mutara III of Rwanda, a man who tried to avert disaster

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
