Meghan Markle criticised the big search engine Google and said it helped spread negative ideas about black women.

The Duchess of Sussex said she was surprised by the results of a study by Gender Studies professor Dr. Safiya U. in the most recent episode of the bombshell podcast Archetypes.

“Her findings in this book had my jaw on the floor,” she spoke.

“She established that when you type in a question on the Google search engine, it would try to guess what your question would be,” Mother of Two added.

The actor from the TV show “Suits” also talked about what Dr. Noble’s book, “Algorithms of Oppression,” had to say.

“An angry black woman when we all know that sometimes things make you feel angry or sad or hurt or upset.”
