British historian Andrew Roberts clashed with MSNBC host Ali Velshi over the anchor’s claims that though they love Queen Elizabeth II, many people throughout the world are tired of British monarchy and see it as a vestige of colonial oppression.British historian Andrew Roberts clashed with MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Saturday over the anchor’s claims that while many loved, other people throughout the world are tired of the British monarchy and see it as a vestige of colonial oppression.
The coverage also featured commentary on the occasion from British guests, such as Roberts, who took issue with Velshi’s first point in their conversation. Velshi began the segment by asserting,"Let’s discuss this: the idea that there are people – we just had an historian say that there are many people who are ‘Queenists’, they’re not monarchists. They liked her.
In his coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's death, MSNBC's Velshi reported on the "many millions" of people who see the British monarchy as a horrific oppressor. Roberts then asked"which country," to which Velshi said,"Kenya." The historian pushed back once again."Right, and the Kenyans not only supported the appointments of Prince Charles, now, as the head of the commonwealth, but we’ve just had a fantastic statement from the president of Kenya saying what a wonderful thing the Queen was."

Tracing political, legal and musical history, ranging from Sam Cooke and Billie Holiday to Jay-Z, Tupac and NWA, this special report documents how these artists' work channeled and shaped the civil rights issues of their time. Melber also shows how across many decades, a bipartisan crackdown on Black art and dissent has run alongside the drug war and other repression, and shows how that continued into the “news now.” The report also covers a pending case against Young Thug and Gunna, which cites their music and poetry as criminal evidence, a striking double standard. The report also features new reaction to an MSNBC report by Jay-Z.
