Uju Anya said in a statement that she stood by what she said and that she would continue to do so.
The news of the Queen's failing health emerged on Thursday hours before she died. The chief monarch of a genocidal raping empire is dying. I wish her pain would be very bad.
As the UK undergoes a period of mourning and transition as King Charles III takes the throne, the cause of Queen Elizabeth II's death has not been revealed.
Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, said on Thursday that "This is someone supposedly working to make the world better", after he was criticized for not empathizing with the Queen. I don't believe so. Oh wow.
A new level of visibility was created by Bezos' involvement. Carnegie Mellon made a statement saying that the statement was offensive and objectionable and that the original comment had been removed. On Friday, Anya told The Cut that her email inbox was filled with racist messages.
But she kept defending her beliefs. She said on Friday that she wouldn't be apologizing. I don't change what I said. She uses social media to discuss the impact of British colonization.
Jeff Bezos was called out by others for picking out the wrong person. Chris Smalls is one of the core organizers and founder of the Amazon Labor Union. They wondered why Prof Anya was chosen by Bezos. It's why. Some people pointed out that Carnegie Mellon had received a donation from Amazon in the past. One person told Jeff Bezos that he had a plan for him when he went. The ratio was 3:1.
The woman doubled down on her position.
"If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who oversaw 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."
