Why Black Twitter Is 'On Fire' After Queen Elizabeth II's Death

Queen Elizabeth II's death at age 96 has sparked a flood of tributes and fond words for a beloved monarch who reigned for a record-breaking 70 years before passing away on Thursday.

From world leaders to members of the public, the social media landscape has been filled with expressions of sadness in the hours since it was announced that the sovereign had died at Scotland's Balmoral Castle.

However, a number of Black Twitter users have taken the opportunity to mark the Queen's death as something of a moment to celebrate, with a range of memes and explanatory threads filling the timeline.

"Black Twitter is on fire today," read one viral tweet, which showed an image of a man posing seemingly victoriously beside a grave that had been mocked up as the queen's.

Showing similar sentiment, another popular tweet showed the words: "We are sad to announce that the queen has died," alongside a picture of the late Princess Diana laughing, styled to represent Black Twitter's feelings on the news.

The Queen ascended to the throne at a time of change for the British Empire and the subsequent forming of the Commonwealth of Nations. Many people from former colonies consider her a figurehead for the brutality their people suffered under British imperialism.

The British Empire at the height of its power was described as the "the empire on which the sun never set" and commanded 23 percent of the world's population in 1913. It controlled countries across every continent and today 14 overseas territories remain under British sovereignty.

"Black Twitter is absolutely Black Twittering right now," said The Atlantic contributing writer Jemele Hill, who defended people questioning the queen's legacy.

"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," wrote Hill.
