I've seen this shared around. Thankfully, never with implied support.
It's a shame she didn't die instead.

The irony is that she's living an agonizingly painful life.

I give 'em 6 months tops before that gets real awkward.

I reluctantly am curious what Anya is referencing. Did Queen Elizabeth order the massacre of Nigerians or something? I know the UK control Nigeria for a while (like a hundred years ago), but guess what... as old as the world is, nations have always invaded/controlled other territories. It's still happening (see Russia and Ukraine).

It's obvious that she should have been fired for saying that. I would be. Let's hope a conservative member of staff tests their commitment to free speech real soon.

Yeah . . . unless "we do not condone" doesn't mean what we think it means.

I would not like to see her fired. I would like this to be an example of stuff a professor can say, without being fired.

Apparently, the great Sage Tucker Carlson has weighed in on this, saying the Queen was the last living link to a truly great Britain.
He should be fired too, for being a fuckwit.

She also blithely ignores the many genocidal campaigns we have seen within post-colonial Africa, and the child soldier and slaves we see to this day.

She's a symbolic figure, and to wish a slow, agonizing death on her personally is not to attack the symbol, but the human being.
She's too stupid to be a professor if she doesn't get this.

Destructive righteousness and rationality are always at odds. Otherwise nature wouldn't have needed to evolve this whole righteous destructiveness thing. It's hardly relegated to idiotic professors, though they seem to be a replenishing reservoir of it.

Would be a fun spectacle to listen to a debate between John McWhorter, another black linguistics professor, and this moron.
