1/5 I certainly do not advocate wishing anyone an "excruciating" death, as a professor at @CarnegieMellon seems to have done, unless they have--there are numerous examples of this--personally and willfully been cruel to others.
Firing this professor would be the wrong answer.

2/5 Some on #BlackTwitter have responded to #QueenElizabeth's death with glee, citing colonial grievances, and it is indeed my understanding that Adolf Hitler took the British Empire as a model.
But many folks saw the Queen as a mostly ceremonial figurehead.

3/5 If we are to wish ill on others, their personal and willful culpability must be established. #QueenElizabeth's personal and willful culpability, as at least putatively a ceremonial figurehead, has not. This does not sound like justice and #BlackTwitter should heed this.
4/5 But justice also demands that #BlackTwitter's grievances be aired and that a reckoning for these grievances be taken into account in considering the monarchy's future, along with questions about the appropriateness of any monarchy in modern society.
5/5 I have complete confidence that that professor at @CarnegieMellon is fully capable of presenting her case. She should do so.
And following an appropriate period of mourning, #Charles should answer, including an explanation for why, if at all, the monarchy should continue.
