A coterie of wokesters bursting with bile, bitterness, jargon and BAs unleashed a torrent of hatred towards Queen Elizabeth in the hours after her death Thursday.
Using a bonanza of social justice buzzwords, Her Majesty’s critics from academia and their journalistic allies, slammed the monarch as a “colonizer.” Kicking things off before she had breathed her last was a critical race professor from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Uju Anya tweeted (since taken down by Twitter): “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.”
And after it was announced the Queen had died, Anya double down.
She tweeted: “May everyone you and your merciless greed have harmed in this world remember you as fondly as I remember my colonizers.”
But not everyone was letting the loudmouthed lout off the hook. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was among the first to take the nutty professor to task.
Bezos tweeted: “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.”
Anya responded to another user: “I’m not wishing her dead. I’m wishing her an agonizingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people.”
According to the New York Post, the asinine academic was born in Nigeria and immigrated to the U.S. when she was 10. Her bio is self-celebratory, declaring that “my voice is unique and foundational in the field.”
So there.
Elsewhere, a newsletter writer for New York magazine was similarly snide and taking a pass on neutrality.
“For 96 years, that colonizer has been sucking up the Earth’s resources,” Tirhakah Love wrote in his Thursday evening newsletter. “You can’t be a literal oppressor and not expect the people you’ve oppressed not to rejoice on news of your death.”
Love didn’t make it clear how the Queen had oppressed him.
Harvard University history professor Maya Jasanoff was not going to be left behind in the social justice sweepstakes.
From its leafy campus, she wrote in The New York Times: “The queen helped obscure a bloody history of decolonization whose proportions and legacies have yet to be adequately acknowledged.”
Apparently Eugene Scott of The Washington Post wasn’t aware that at times, it seems the public discourse is awash in nothing but discussions about “colonialism.”
He wrote on Twitter: “Real question for the ‘now is not the appropriate time to talk about the negative impact of colonialism’ crowd: When is the appropriate time to talk about the negative impact of colonialism?”
And finally, University of Michigan English prof. Ebony Elizabeth Thomas harkened to Princess Diana and Meghan Markle.
She wrote on Twitter: “At this moment, the thought of Diana and Meghan are keeping my eyes completely dry. I’m surprised. I tend to weep even for personal enemies and structural oppressors, and US media, entertainment, and education has gilded her. But… yeah.”
Hating gives meaning to empty Leftist lives.
And she wins the Giant Snozz of the Year Jimmy Durante Award.
They DO realize she doesn’t have any actual power, right? Or do they actually think the UK is a monarchy?
