Do black people who are against “Cancel Culture” know they’re falling into a trap?

Cancel culture harms black ppl more than anybody because we don't have the resources or network to recover when we get 'canceled' cacs just move to a new job and lay low.
all the racist karens that get exposed, all the cops, anyone documented violating brehs and bushed in public is also cancel culture and brehs have benefited from it as well

the issue is fake outrage being used to force cancel culture

as usual you take the most miserable angle on a topic

woe is me ass nikka

there's 2 sides to everything

Cancel culture took what was a good at first and corrupted it by taking it to incredulous extremes. Yes black folks don't approve of anybody using the n word. We don't appreciate racial humor at our own expense.
You know what used to do about it? Boo them, stop going to their shows. that was it, We never marched, protested, or boycotted people over bad words. We marched, protested or boycotted people over Murder, Discriminatory Housing, Racist Bus systems. Actual crimes, not just shyt that could be solved by simply changing the channel.
They are diluting activism and inflating every issue is if it is just as important as voting rights or safe drinking water.


Moreover the way cancel culture works now, they aren't just punishing the culprit, they are also trying to punish all of the fans of them too. You and people like you never watching another Dave Chappelle special again is one thing. and if you have enough like minded people they will start to feel that in their pockets and make changes. But thats not enough for cancel culture,now they are forcing everyone else to participate in their boycott by trying to have it removed. What if i still want to watch his shyt? I didn't agree to joining your boycott? I don't do anything offensive either why am i being pulled into it. Imagine if during the Montgomery bus boycott instead of black folk voluntarily walking, they instead stood at every bus stop and tried to stop anybody from getting on. and beat up anybody that did. thats what they are doing.

I look at “cancel culture” differently than most people. If you say or do something fukked up at your job, you deserve the consequences that come with it. What’s considered “fukked up” can be argued for another day. What I don’t like is when people try to dictate what others can consume. Punish the person. Let people watch or listen to whatever they want.
exactly, i didn't do shyt. Why am i being punished?

You sure about that?

That's a slippery slope that you're creating and even you know that.

in reality, this whole Netflix thing is a lgbt civil war
dave is being used as a weapon for the L's and G's
Dave has already said the L's and G's hate the T's
they want the T's out of the paint
This isn't really a cancel culture fight
I don't know this personally :dame::whoa:

I mean, they’re gonna find a way to watch/listen to it anyway. Also, I’m looking at something like how the MJ episode of The Simpsons was removed from Disney+ over a damn documentary. How when Bill Cosby got convicted, Cosby Show was taken off syndication (still on Amazon Prime though). How the hell is Cosby Show harming anyone? Even with R. Kelly, no his music hasn’t been removed and it shouldn’t. Everyone knew how R. Kelly got down for years, but people are being disingenuous if they think every song he made was abusing young girls. The problem is they pick and choose who they wanna “cancel” while parading others who did just as bad (or worse) in our faces.

CAse in point about c00ns who defend this shyt^^^^^

I remember when fukking up and paying a price for fukking up was just called suffering the consequences of your own dumb actions. Don't be a fukking idiot and attach your name it and shyt won't happen to you. It's pretty simple, this is how life has always fukking worked. Cancel Culture isn't a thing.

What is deemed acceptable is always shifting. What are yoy going to do if in 29 yesrs

Breh the 1915 film Birth of a Nation is preserved by Congress in the national film registry for being culturally significant.
Cancel that shyt first, then you can talk to me about wiping R Kelly music from the Internet or Bill Cosby show. Neither of which actually promote and induce the crimes they themselves commited.
Can't say the same about Birth of the Nation not actually causing real world harm. Clearly people are abusing this cancel power and not using it for the correct causes.

You're proving my point with your comment without realizing it.

The problem with your logic is that it's not applied to every situation and people pick and choose what they want to cancel or want censored. Just because you don't think it should be censored doesn't mean that someone else feels the same and vice versa.

A lot of y'all essentially sounding like the MAGAs that you love to complain about on here without even realizing it.

If you're fine with people being able to watch or listen to whatever they want, then you're essentially saying that racist and hate rhetoric should flow openly as well.
My point is that people should only cancel criminal activities and things to do some measurable harm, not just different opinions and bad words. If you want to call that picking and choosing, fine.
I don't think its worth giving up freedoms and potentially harming ourselves just to make sure some cac in virginia gets fired for saying N word while listening to Snoog Dogg on his morning commute. There needs to be some measurable, some evidence of discriminatory actions taking place

I said this many times before but White People Don't Know How to be Activists.
They lived too much privilege or something. They too often take petty and childish issue and conflate them with more importance than they deserve. they do this because its more recreational to them that actually being about survival.
