Carnegie Mellon professor Uju Anya, who said Elizabeth was the head of a 'genocidal empire,' also drew condemnation from Jeff Bezos.
Anya, from Nigeria, which was under British rule until 1960, explained earlier that she would not back down from her remarks. She accused the queen of overseeing a government “that massacred and displaced half my family.
”If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star.Anya’s tweets also provoked a response from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.
