Still waiting for someone to bring up some noteworthy people who were "cancelled" because they said or did something innocuous. Because so far the noteworthy people I've seen get "cancelled" are white supremacists and rapists or sexual abusers.
I generally agree with the OP but my view is that black people need to understand who their friends are and aren't. White people who sit around complaining about "cancel culture" are the same people who think it's perfectly fine for a full blown eugenics racist to get interviewed by Joe Rogan. If your position is that all ideologies are fine and worthy of public sharing/debate, what you're really saying is that you want to give a platform to people who want you dead. These white men you think are your friend aren't your friend, they don't think you're cool, they aren't your ally. Stop caping for right wing bullshyt because you think hating gay/trans people is somehow gonna make white racists build with you.

This thread title & topic is dumb AF. I'm pretty sure black Twitter originally came up with the terms "Cancelled" & "Cancel Culture". Not to mention BM are often the victims of cancel culture.
