‘People of-colour have a right to feel a certain way about the queen’s passing’
I know The Slim Reaper’s on the low-key look-out for a Mother-Theresa/M.T.-special thread from my ends (d.w., it’s coming) but in the meantime I thought it would be a good idea to see what people on here think about the idea expressed in the title (i.e., the queen’s apparent hand in colonialism being a good reason for black people, etc., to not want-to actually mourn her death or generally feel particularly-upset about it). Normally I’d say that in-depth discussions about race-specific topics are best-reserved for the respective individual communities who are actually directly-affected by whatever the racial-issue is but when a worldwide figure’s being labelled a covert-racist/corresponding-enabler across social-media (not even just-Twitter) discussion of that notion does need-to be entertained by everyone who has an active opinion on the Queen/monarchical totality, IMO.
