I'm genuinely confused at how it doesn't really exist but does, at the same time.

All of that is the mechanisms of White Supremacy, which is woven into the fabric of this country and everything its about. I don't see how you can attribute any of that to a phantom concept called "cancel culture" that Black men and white men alike complain loudly about.

What you're missing in all of that is how patriarchy comes into play, and the harm that does to women, whiich is a blindspot of most American men...so I'm not surprised. It seems easy for you to see how things affect you, but not how shit affects us.

ah and here it is.

to be clear, he is a RAPIST, CHILD MOLESTING SEX TRAFFICER. period. waxing poetic on what he symbolizes gives the appearance that that is far more important than the extreme traumatizing harm he has done to those girls for DECADES.

He is the worst person to hang your "look how Black men are treated" hat. Sorry. nope. That's an epic logical fail right there.

i hear this complaint alot and you gotta understand his crimes don't exist in a vacuum.

His music, and the income from it, the industry's protection of him, specifically enabled him to have the means to do the things he did. So sorry, yes streaming his music or providing him any reason to receive royalties etc can be argued to be enabling him.

Whether you agree or not, you can say that isn't a valid argument.

I have seen lots of heat in the that direction.

who is we cuz women have been SCREAMING about this from the rooftops.

quite honestly, the people that don't want to examine the root causes of abuse in the Black community is BLACK MEN. Because it would cause y'all to have to examine your own attitudes towards girls and women.



>It's bullshit

I agree.
