Professor Who Wished Queen ‘Excruciating Pain’ Says She’s ‘Part Of Cult Of White Womanhood’

There have been a few strange reactions to the death of the Queen last Thursday, but I think one of the weirdest and misconstrued belonged to Dr. Uju Anya who decided to tweet that she wished her excruciating pain and was then targeted by Jeff Bezos because of it.

Anya pretty hastily deleted the tweet after being called out by pretty much everyone in the world about it, but now she’s doubled down on her sentiments, saying the following in an interview with The Cut:

Queen Elizabeth was representative of the cult of white womanhood.

There’s this notion that she was this little-old-lady grandma type with her little hats and her purses and little dogs and everything — as if she inhabited this place or this space in the imaginary, this public image, as someone who didn’t have a hand in the bloodshed of her Crown.

How did she have that Crown? Even the crowns she wears are looted, plundered from the lands they exploited and extracted from. The entire treasury is a legacy of thievery that was achieved by murder, by enslavement, and it didn’t stop after independence.

Jeff Bezos incited violence against me. He rarely tweets in his own voice, but he took the time to single me out when literally half the planet rejoiced over the news.

I can’t ignore the racism and misogyny — the emails I’ve been getting all start with the N-word, b***h, genetically inferior, all kinds of things.

Well I suppose everything she’s saying there is technically true, but I guess the fact is that nobody really wants to hear it so everyone is just going to say that she’s a twat for bringing all this up in the immediate aftermath of the Queen’s death. The thing is though, if Anya didn’t say it now, then when’s the best opportunity to do so? If barely anyone is going to listen, she might as well do it when she’s gonna get the biggest audience.

Anyway, I think she’s probably happy to martyr herself in this way and I guess she might have raised awareness of these issues for some people out there so might have made a slight difference. The fact of it all though is that the vast majority of people aren’t going to care about it as they’re too busy celebrating the Queen’s years of service for her country. Make of that what you will.
