Obama sees the light on cancel culture
Opinion by Brad Polumbo -
It’s not just conservatives who are sick of cancel culture and woke extremism. Even former President Barack Obama is speaking out against the far Left’s toxic attempts to shut down debate and “cancel” people for (increasingly minor) offenses.
“Sometimes Democrats are [buzzkills],” he said on a recent episode of Pod Save America. “Sometimes people just want to not feel as if they are walking on eggshells, and they want some acknowledgment that life is messy and that all of us, at any given moment, can say things the wrong way, make mistakes.”
“I think where we get into trouble sometimes is where we try to suggest that some groups are more … because they historically have been victimized more … that somehow they have a status that’s different than other people and we’re going around scolding folks if they don’t use exactly the right phrase,” Obama added.
