Does Cancel Culture Have Hints Of Racism?

[DatLBCGuy562]

When you hear white people complaining about “cancel culture”’ I know right off back that they’re these right wing, Trump supporting white supremacists. What they’re really saying is “why can’t I be an open racist and do and say what I want to Black people without any consequences or repercussions like the old days?”. Getting major CAC vibes from this post

I'm trying to understand too because isn't that what we've always wanted, white people to address it's racism?

Yes but not at the expense of more important issues
and they do it from an armchair tweeting too

so you think white people should address larger issues than racism/sexism/etc
and you want them to stop being vocal until they do?
what are these larger issues?

You don't want white people to call out other white people and use their purchasing power to control businesses....?
What do you want them to do instead?

I think what cancel culture is.... it's a distraction.
It gets the left to get an angry at things that do not directly affect people's lives.
Imagine if a tsunami of cancel culture people demanded UBI or Monthly stim checks, or getting money out of politics.

I think what cancel culture is, it's well to do people who are in a comfort zone.
They are not hungry, they not living paycheck to paycheck, they don't have 2 or even 3 jobs, some of them are housewives with no job, and of course none of them are being persecuted by violent racist cops.
And so they do not make an attempt at empathy for people in such situations, they are all too disconnected from struggle.

And sometimes even it is a mockery of the oppressed.
Take the old TV show the golden girls for example, the network removed an episode where the golden girls came out with mud on their face. You know like face mud that you put on your face when at a spa for skin treatment or at home.
Well the mud was brown, so the network removed that episode because of blackface.

Anyhow, I think there are hints of racism possibly at a subconscious level when it comes to cancel culture, and I think it represents a threat to society as well.

Is cancel culture™ even real?

No.

Its the worst boogeyman of the 21st century so far. A company doesnt have to keep someone employed if that person is fukking with their brand.

Canceling someone is essentially just saying "yeah im not fukkin with whatever it is you're trying to push" and you've got people upset about that. If you anger people, they have the right to stop listening to you, buying your products

Cancel Culture was started by Black Women — the keystone of Black Twitter, and thus originates from Black Twitter —and was coopted by other communities to incrementally address more issue that were adjacent or parallel to the concerns of Black people.

Story sound familiar?

As it grew more prevalent to embody such a number of wide-ranging issues it became more amorphous a concept without an apparent through line or governorship. Those who were most likely to be subject to “cancellations” were least likely to pay attention to these developments as they are use to marginalizing the communities that are effectively “cancelling” people. Which is why this Cac, Other Cacs, Conservatives, and Men’s Men (you Coli Brehs) are the most frequently “cancelled” and consequently the most bewildered, threatened, and opposed to Cancel Culture.

So yes, it very much does carry racial implications because it is racial in origin. If you were to ask the average cac how they felt they’d probably be 50/50 about it with a strong lean against Cancel Culture. If you ask groups who are not Black nor White, generally speaking, you’d probably see between a 70/30 or 60/40 favorability of Cancel Culture with significant percentages of resistance.

However; with Black people, that conversation isn’t even particularly pertinent to the overall goal. I’d believe if asked the same question there’d be an overwhelming favorability. But the more significant split in the line of discourse is whether the average Black person is indifferent of Cancel Culture or finds it to be a necessity.


Not sure on your stance still OP. Why this Mega Maga Cac is the one to make you ask this question.


I think what breh @Savvir is trying to say to you is that Cancel Culture, so to speak, is legit. To which I agree, however, since there’s no officiating body to it, anybody can do it, hop in and participate. Which to my point leads to it being coopted and questionable. Although I disagree on it being a distraction, to your point, it can be a problem.

I agree in that it’s a means for liberals to point towards their insubstantial credentials snd lay claim to progressive values without actually making the material sacrifice that would require an honest disruption of the status quo, a distraction from the kind of discussion that ends with them acknowledging what the problem is and what the solution to it is.

That’s a dialogue that liberals aren’t willing to have, so they constantly peddle these bogeymen to help feign the appearance of motion that never sees them actually move, playing the role of good cop to the right wing’s bad cop.

But people peep game and are not falling for it.

Who is really boycotting businesses like that? Cancel culture is 99% of the time just some targeted attack at some random person. It doesnt change any larger systemic issues it just breeds division and radicals in some larger culture war. Less than 3% of people are even invovled in it. Also the idea itself becomes dumb. Boycott businesses for what? Its a slippery slope to just boycotting everything which is essentially where we are at.

Funny rechumplicans are now against cancel culture because white christian conservatives were the originators of that shyt

 

[OG Talk]

Isn't it white people who are the majority of "victims" of cancel culture?

Straight Black males are the second largest group that is a victim of cancel culture.

Technically “Cancel Culture” is the reason Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL for 5 years.

NBA ratings plummeting is a reflection of Cancel Culture.

That shyt isn’t cool or cute. No Black men should be championing it just because a few cacs catch some shrapnel

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

No such thing as cancel culture
If Doja Cat can survive it
And became even more popular after showing feet in a racist chatroom

 

[TheHonorableOmarSharif]

No, op

 

[ColdSlither]

Yeah. It’s mostly liberal whites doing the canceling. When they do, they’re using the voices and ideas of POC, acting as their defenders, to own and dunk on conservative whites, for their own feel good benefit. The same liberal whites who wouldn’t have an issue making a huge fuss at school board meetings, when the subject of black students being bussed in comes up.
