Any black person that is against "cancel culture" is an idiot.

[KingFreeman]

Coli has BEEN jumped the damn shark. Cancel culture was created to target certain famous figures who get to 'uppity.​

 

[LV Koopa]

I'm against cancel culture and black. Pretty sure I'm also smart enough to not make blanket statements based on skin color.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Goofy take.


Life isn't a game. This is a man eat man world and if you aren't Machiavellian to realize that cancel culture is a tool against opposition you will get eaten alive because I know the damn sure the opposition will use cancel culture to their advantage.

Just look at right wing Christian politics, their whole movement is cancel culture.


You and everyone who dapped this have been finessed into not using a valuable tool against white supremacy

I disagree.

I'm simply smarter than you.

For example, you talk about "tools" against white supremacy.

That's hilarious.

There's no "tool" that's going to dismantle white supremacy.

There's no amount of Tweets that's gonna change how America works.

The only way to defeat white supremacy is out outbreed white people.

But ya'll g'on ahead and make your little 176 character tweets.

I'm sure you will change the world.

I'm sorry breh I didn't mean to come off as an a$$hole (I'm 2 margaritas in).

I just don't have the energy to go hard against something that I can simply ignore.

I think the world would be a much more peaceful place if people adopted this stance, instead of everyone trying to 1-up each other and have the loudest voice on social media and everyone thinking their opinion actually matters.

Just my $0.02

I get and agree with what you are saying. But the world isn't fair unfortunately and cacs and Asians have mastered that concept.

It gives the mob (the angry majority) too much power. The bigger the crowd the dumber the crowed. A lot of the time

It can be manipulated and abused

I'm speaking in general though. The situation matters.

Not the same context, let's not reach.

It was part of black FEMALE and LGBT "signifyin" culture - aka "gay reading"

​

Given how frequently it’s been used to repudiate sexism and misogyny, it’s ironic that the concept of “canceling” shares its DNA with a misogynistic joke. One of the first references to canceling someone comes in the 1991 film New Jack City, in which Wesley Snipes plays a gangster named Nino Brown. In one scene, after his girlfriend breaks down because of all the violence he’s causing, he dumps her by saying, “Cancel that bytch. I’ll buy another one.” (We reportedly owe this witticism to screenwriter Barry Michael Cooper.)

Jump to 2010, when Lil Wayne referenced the film in a line from his song “I’m Single”: “Yeah, I’m single / n***a had to cancel that bytch like Nino.” This callback to the earlier sexist cancel joke probably helped the phrase percolate for a while.

But canceling seems to have gotten its first big boost into the zeitgeist from an episode of VH1’s reality show Love and Hip-Hop: New York that aired in December 2014, in which cast member Cisco Rosado tells his love interest Diamond Strawberry during a fight, “you’re canceled.” Even with zero context, it’s a hilarious moment:





The quote began to appear on social media shortly after the episode aired.



From there, the idea of canceling began to spread via Black Twitter throughout 2015, used as a reaction to someone doing something you disapproved of — either jokingly or seriously.



As it caught on, however, the term began to evolve into a way of responding not just to friends or acquaintances, but also to celebrities or entities whose behavior offended you.



And even early on, canceling someone often involved boycotting them professionally, as the tweets below demonstrate:




Even though these early examples are distinct from one another, they contained the seeds of what cancel culture would become: a trend of communal calls to boycott a celebrity whose behavior was perceived as going too far.

Cancel culture has evolved rapidly to mean very different things to different people
It’s only been about six years since the concept of “cancel culture” began trickling into the mainstream. The phrase has long circulated within Black culture, perhaps paying homage to Nile Rodgers’s 1981 single “Your Love Is Cancelled.” As I wrote in my earlier explainer on the origins of cancel culture, the concept of canceling a whole person originated in the 1991 film New Jack City and percolated for years before finally emerging online among Black Twitter in 2014 thanks to an episode of Love and Hip-Hop: New York. Since then, the term has undergone massive shifts in meaning and function.

Whitney Houston popularized that not LGBT

Who took it and ran with it?

 

[MajesticLion]

It ain't your tool.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

If you are against cancel culture in general and go on a crusade against it like an right wing cac then you are the wrong side.




Of course nothing is 100% good all of the time.

Your ass already flip flopped.

 

[Pazzy]

Cancel culture goes after black people the most, fool. So its actually the opposite way around. You are a sellout for cancel culture. Look at what happened to Nick Cannon compared to someone like Justin Bieber.

 

[SNYC]

Who took it and ran with it?

Black people, specifically Black women.

As a matter of fact, when that interview came out, Wendy Williams was on the radio & used to play that sound bite trying to mock Whitney

Gays take from straight Black people...even down to trying to 'imitate' Black women with their 'attitude, body movements & slang'


But you should know that by now

You're right






















Not that I would know something like that

How is that cancel culture? We chose to not give money to a brand considered racist. And he still did well, and still has a brand today.

So people should continue to give money to companies, and people we don’t like?

The way cancel culture is being used is as people being little snowflake bytches, because someone says something they don’t like.

Speaking Tommy, it was a rumor, and he had to go on Oprah to clear his name. The rumor was he said he didn’t want us wearing his clothes on Oprah. She confirmed he had never been on her show, or said that.

You trolling

boycotting is part of cancelling

And by trolling , im mean someone you can't have an honest conversation with. Are you cacafied or just like to argue
