Sonny Hostin sparks outrage DEFENDING woke Carnegie Mellon critical race theory professor vile tweet

The View’s co-host Sunny Hostin has defended Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya who posted a vile tweet on Thursday saying she hoped the Queen’s death was ‘excruciating’. 

In her first controversial tweet – now deleted by the social media platform – the Nigerian-born professor wrote: ‘I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.’

She then followed up: ‘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,’ Anya posted. 

Speaking on ABC’s The View, Hostin, who lived and studied in London, refused to condemn the tweet’s sentiments. 

‘I was sad yesterday because I saw some posts and articles written about some things that people were tweeting, and one of them was awful. It was from a professor at Carnegie Mellon who said, I heard she may be finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,’ explained co-host Sara Haines. 

‘That is answering with such a hateful heart. That was a moment where you are answering the very hate you reject with hate.’

Rather than criticize the professor, Hostin suggested that the tweet was truthful and suggested people ‘separate the Queen from the empire’.

‘That’s why you separate the queen with the empire because there isn’t a lie in the rest of that tweet. What did he say or she?’ Hostin asked.

‘She said, thieving, raping genocidal empire,’ Haines responded.

‘It was a thieving, raping, genocidal empire,’ Hostin responded bluntly.

Haines continued to push her point: ‘This was an educator and a leader. The university said, this doesn’t represent the standard of discord we seek to foster. This wasn’t an average citizen. This was an academic who lead our young people.’

Anya’s appalling sentiment, shared as the Queen was in her final hours, has ignited a firestorm of anger, and cast a light on previous attempts by hundreds of people to get the outspoken academic fired from her teaching job for violent and racist words. 

The university has so far refused to punish their professor, and said in a statement posted to Twitter on Thursday evening ‘We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her social media account.’

‘Free expression is core to the mission of higher education,’ they said, indicating Anya would not see consequences for her tweet.

‘However, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster,’ they concluded.

Hostin went on: ‘If you really think about what the monarchy was built on, it was built on the backs of black and brown people.’

She took particular issue with the Imperial State Crown and the Queen’s sceptre. 

‘She wore a crown with pillaged stones from India and Africa,’ Hostin added.

‘And now what you’re seeing, at least in the black communities that I’m a part of, they want reparation.

The Koh-i-noor diamond from India sits atop of the crown made for the Queen Mother in 1937 and the Great Star of Africa sits in the Queen’s sceptre.

The Imperial State Crown, along with a sceptre, serves as the principal crown for the British monarch, with the Koh-i-noor being part of the Treaty of Lahore.

Many people have claimed ownership over the Great Star of Africa the centuries including Mughal emperors, shahs of Iran, emirs of Afghanistan, and Sikh maharajas.

Over on MSNBC Richard Stengel, who once served as undersecretary of state for President Obama, has also been called a hypocrite for his comments slamming American media.

He said Americans are so captivated by the British Royal Family because they have a ‘weakness’ that yearns for a time of ‘hereditary privilege.’

Critics pointed out that as the former editor of Time Magazine he put the Royal family on the cover on several occasions.

He repeatedly attempted to make negative comments as MSNBC aired footage of mourners gathering outside Buckingham Palace following the news of the Queen’s death.

Stengel said: ‘You played a clip of her speaking in Cape Town in 1947, in South Africa. That’s the year apartheid took effect in South Africa.

‘That was something British colonialism ushered in. British colonialism, which she presided over, had a terrible effect on much of the world.

‘To your earlier question, why are American news networks dedicating all this time to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral — I think it’s a good question.

‘There’s a weakness in the American character that still yearns for that era of hereditary privilege, which is the very thing that we escaped from.’

Stengel acknowledged that the sharp remarks made him ‘the skunk at the garden party’ with MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace appearing taken aback by his comments.

Fellow panelist and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, saying that he ‘wasn’t sure’ that Stengel’s opinion was correct.

He said: ‘You know, and Rick, I’m not sure that we so ‘yearn’ for this hereditary privilege. 

‘I think we enjoy seeing watching all the pomp and circumstance and following the soap opera of the – of the Royal Family and the fairy tale aspect of it,’ Robinson explained.

‘But I don’t know that that’s something we have any sort of deep hankering for.’

Untenured Carnegie Mellon critical race theory professor DOUBLES DOWN on vile tweets over Queen’s death saying she feels ‘disdain’ for the monarch and anyone expecting an apology ‘can keep wishing upon a star’

By JOSEPH MICHALITSIANOS 

After posting an initial tweet hoping for the Queen’s ‘excruciating death,’ Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya reiterated her beliefs about the late monarch and said she ‘supervised a government that sponsored genocide.’

‘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,’ she posted.

But the university has so far refused to punish their professor, and said in a statement posted to Twitter Thursday evening ‘We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her social media account.’

‘Free expression is core to the mission of higher education,’ they said, indicating Anya would not see consequences for her tweet.

‘However, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster,’ they concluded.

In her first controversial tweet – now deleted by the social media platform – the Nigerian-born professor wrote: ‘I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.’

‘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 later removed the posts for violating their rules. 

Her appalling sentiment, shared as the Queen was in her final hours, has ignited a firestorm of anger, and cast a light on previous attempts by hundreds of people to get the outspoken academic fired from her teaching job for violent and racist words. 

Her Majesty died Thursday at the age of 96. She passed away surrounded by members of the Royal Family at Balmoral Castle, Scotland.  

Anya’s vile words about the Queen were slammed by thousands online, including billionaire Bezos.

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. 

Carnegie Mellon University has distanced itself from Anya, telling DailyMail.com that it does ‘not condone the offensive and objectionable messages’. 

‘Free expression is core to the mission of higher education, however, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster,’ a spokesperson said. 

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.’

One person who signed the petition said that the professor can’t be trusted with children.

They added: ‘I’m concerned for the children. She can’t be trusted with kids. I wouldn’t want racist of any color teaching my children.’

Another added: ‘She needs to be fired. There’s no way in hell she should be allowed to teach Black American students. She’s a danger to any Black American she comes in contact with. FIRE HER NOW!’ 

And a third person, who signed the petition for the university to drop her, said: ‘She’s a hypocrite and an ethnic bigot.’

The vicious academic also found herself in hot water when he mocked the death of YouTuber Kevin Samuels in May 2022.

Samuels, who had 1.42million YouTube subscribers and nearly as many Instagram followers, was best known for some of his controversial dating advice. He passed away earlier this year. 

But in the aftermath of his death she wrote: ‘Kevin Samuels told men their worth was in their wallet. He died in a 1BR sublet with less than $1K to his name, no partner, friend, or offspring wiling to claim him, only his poor mother begging and borrowing to bury his loathsome carcass.’  

‘There is no way you aren’t a woman with so much of hate in your heart and we certainly don’t need that in women who hold high positions in our society. Horrible!!’

A third social media user, disgusted at the words, said: ‘There’s always someone looking for attention in the midst of a tragedy, which you might understand if the target was a hated public figure but these comments are disgusting, and from a verified blue tick account too. You should be ashamed of yourself.’

As well as Anya and her vile words, a slew of people took to social media to attack and mock the Queen as news rolled in about her tragic death. Millions across the world are mourning the loss of Britain’s longest-serving monarch.

Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, an associate professor at University of Michigan’s School of Education, wrote: ‘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.

”Respect the dead’ when we’re all writing these Tweets *in English.* How’d that happen, hm? We just chose this language?’

Responding to her tweet and alluding to their happiness at the Queen’s death, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s former aide said: ‘I cannot imagine what my Irish grandparents would be feeling.’

Political reporter for the Washington Post, Eugene Scott, also peddled the idea that speaking about the British Empire and its ramifications was the appropriate topic of conversation while the beloved Queen was on her deathbed.

He wrote: ‘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?’ 

As did Jemele Hill, contributing writer for The Atlantic: ‘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.’ 

At 1.30pm EST today, the Queen’s death was confirmed. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: ‘The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. 

‘The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow’.

The Queen’s death will see Britain and her Commonwealth realms enter into a ten-day period of mourning as millions of her subjects in the UK and abroad come to terms with her passing.

And as her son King Charles accedes to the throne, there will also be a celebration of her historic 70-year reign that saw her reach her Platinum Jubilee this year – a landmark unlikely to be reached again by a British monarch.

Charles, who became King on the death of his mother, said: ‘We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. 

‘I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.’
