Nikki Haley: Cancel Culture is Un-American
She writes “cancel culture doesn’t speak for the vast majority of Americans. There’s a screaming 1% that’s trying to shout down the other 99%. The last thing that cancel-culture warriors want is to have an honest and open discussion about anything. They’re too blinded by anger to sit down with anyone who feels differently than them. They prefer the quick rush that comes from driving people apart to the hard work of bringing people together” (Medium). From the Wall Street Journal: There is a clear difference between holding people accountable for what they say and “canceling” them. Accountability allows for redemption. Canceling constitutes a hatred-fueled public shaming that aims to ruin a person’s life. It ignores moral development, especially when the offending comment was made years ago. To give equal weight to statements people make when they are young and those they make as adults is absurd. Differences in opinions over time are often a sign of growth—something laudable (WSJ).
