Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat have played major roles in the cancellation of some of our favorite people that we were fans of. Our favorite actors such as Monique, singers like Chrisette Michele, comedians like Steve Harvey, and athletes like Tiger Woods have all been canceled, but because of reasons such as differences in political views, standing up for their beliefs, or just making decisions for what was best for them.
I feel like canceling our black people has been taken out of hand and for us to say black lives matter but destroy their lives is completely cruel. Not everybody is going to think the same as you and you can not be mad at their opinions. For instance, Chrisette Michele, who sings “Couple of Forevers” was canceled for singing at Trump’s Inauguration, but nobody is in her shoes where she must feed her family and continue to bring income in, but we rushed to Twitter to bash her in. It is disappointing that we live in a very sensitive culture where a person does not have the freedom to express themselves anymore without undergoing the consequences of getting canceled.
The cancel culture is a hypocritical culture that is followed by gullible narsisstics. They cancel artists or people based on a difference of opinion, but justify their favorite artist’s behavior with excuses. The cancel culture would tolerate the disrespect against women from their favorite artist, such as Dababy, and artist temper tantrums which typically would result in the act of violence or even death; but would cancel a celebrity, such as Dave Chappelle, because of a difference of opinion or a joke that is typically taken out of context.
We want to cancel culture, but behind closed doors, we still listen to their music, watch their movies, and secretly support them. It’s okay not to go with the crowd; if somebody doesn’t go with what everybody wants them to do or if they make small mistakes, stop trashing them if they did not do anything to harm the public.
It is almost like the cancel culture is mentally enslaving people to act or think a certain way and if they do not, they can potentially lose everything that they’ve worked for. People want to promote black lives matter and protect black people, but how is it that we scream for others to stop degrading us when we do it to our own culture? The cancel culture is a joke, and it needs to end.
