The woke mob descended on Queen Elizabeth mere minutes after news of her tragic death broke on Thursday afternoon.
Critics were quick to call the late-queen a colonizer who wrought oppression across the world during her historic 70-year reign.
The charge was led by University of Michigan professor of English Ebony Elizabeth Thomas who said thoughts of Diana and Meghan Markle were keeping her from shedding a tear for the fallen monarch.
‘At this moment, the thought of Diana and Meghan are keeping my eyes completely dry,’ she wrote in reference to the reported poor treatment of the two women who married into the House of Windsor, ‘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.’
The tweet was joined by a chorus of right-on Twitter commenters who echoed her in agreement while suggesting the Queen was a harbinger of evil.
Thomas began her barrage on the queen earlier in the day as news of her poor health began to swirl.
‘Telling the colonized how they should feel about their colonizer’s health and wellness is like telling my people that we ought to worship the Confederacy,’ she said, ”Respect the dead’ when we’re all writing these Tweets *in English.* How’d that happen, hm? We just chose this language?’
Lyndsey Boylan, unsuccessful candidate for Manhattan Borough President who accused ex NY Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, commented snarkily on the tweet, saying ‘I cannot imagine what my Irish grandparents would be feeling.’
Her Majesty died today at the age of 96. She passed away surrounded by members of the Royal Family at Balmoral Castle, Scotland.

Writer for The Atlantic magazine, Jemele Hill, also chimed in on her Twitter account, saying journalists had a duty to cover what she called the ‘devastating’ impacts of Elizabeth’s reign.
‘Journalists are tasked with putting legacies into full context, so it is entirely appropriate to examine the queen and her role in the devastating impact of continued colonialism,’ Hill wrote.
That tweet was also met with a comment section full of critics, with one remarking ‘Lol ain’t no one gonna say a thing tho.’

Another journalist, Eugene Scott of The Washington Post, also offered his opinions, asking when it would be a good time to talk about the colonialism under the queen.
‘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?’ he wrote.
Imani Gandy, a legal analyst at Rewire News, tweeted out a video of a group of men tap-dancing outside Buckingham Palace to the song Another One Bites The Dust.
‘The queen died and the Irish are already on it lol,’ she wrote.
The slew of tweets came just hours after Twitter deleted vile tweets from a Carnegie Mellon University critical race theory professor who said she wished the queen’s final moments were ‘excruciating.’
Uju Anya, an ‘anti racist’ teacher and associate professor at the Pittsburgh university, sparked outrage after calling the ailing Queen the head of a ‘thieving, raping, genocidal empire.’
‘I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.
‘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.’
‘That wretched woman and her bloodthirsty throne have f***** generations of my ancestors on both sides of the family, and she supervised a government that sponsored the genocide my parents and siblings survived. May she die in agony.’
Twitter has now removed the posts for violating their rules as thousands of people – including Jeff Bezos – called her out for the insolent words.
Jeff Bezos said: ‘This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.’
Journalist Piers Morgan also added: ‘You vile disgusting moron.’
One horrified user said: ‘Don’t expect that of you but do expect common decency, respect for such a loss. If you cannot give that at this time, you are a disgraceful of a human being.’
Another added: ‘You are just so uncouth and manner-less. You speak of someone who just passed with such a vile and disdaining comment.’
Uju Anya is a teacher and associate professor at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She tweeted the disgusting words following the news that the Queen was in ill health
The ‘anti racist’ professor has faced allegations of racism in the past for the words she has used online – and in one instance, the Foundational Black American organization created a petition to get her removed from Carnegie Mellon University.
Anya, who claims to be an expert in ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion,’ was called out for using an ethnic slur, which means ‘cotton pickers’ or ‘wild animals.’
The petition to get her fired garnered nearly 800 signatures.
It read: ‘Dr. Uju Anya can not be allowed to use the platform of Carnegie Mellon University Department of Modern Languages to further promote systemic racism through her blatant use of ethnic slurs on social media when referring to Foundational Black Americans.
‘This is a step backward in our fight to destroy systemic racism and discrimination for all people if institutions allow professors to become comfortable with using language as a weapon against people of color by people of color.
‘Society MUST hold all people accountable equally and we call on Carnegie Mellon University to take action against this type of egregious behavior to protect the reputation and integrity of the Higher Learning Institution.
