In my view, the issue is not so much cancel culture. It’s that journalists can publish inaccurate information and libel people without any sort of punishment or way for the targeted party to respond.

Also, this article is extremely racist. They are supporting the decades old trope of the “uppity” black male that just won’t shut up and behave like an Uncle Tom. At least these journalists are no longer hiding what they really think about minorities.

There is a way to respond when a corporation says libel thing about you... you can sue. The target can also respond, thru social media at the very least.

Where in this article were they 'supporting the decades old trope of the “uppity” black male that just won’t shut up'? I felt like I read it pretty closely and I cant even begin to understand where that took place.

> Kanye West has made increasingly oppressive, malformed declarations over the past several years, and yet commands earth-stopping attention every time he opens his mouth/Twitter app. Forbes ran a massive feature just this week about the ridiculous notion of West running for president in this year’s election.

It is very subtle. Oppressive? Malformed? This is basically calling him an uppity ni---r.

Subtle doesn't even begin to describe it...
