A Cautious Look at Cancel Culture

When we examine Cancel Culture, we must unpack privilege. Privilege such as: White privilege, Religious privilege, Gender privilege, Heterosexual privilege, and Socio-economic privilege. Privilege is not designed to make people feel guilty. Through this program, we will educate each other on how to use our privilege to make the systems we were born into fairer. Alexandra D’amour states, “Cancel culture has been incredibly effective at combating sexism, racism.” Individuals on the opposite side of privilege have used cancel culture to bring awareness and cancel the physical and financial existence of individuals who are culturally unsound. This program is designed to bring awareness of the success in cancellation while ensuring that it does not become habit-forming. When the oppressor is open to be educated, we must educate before or instead of cancelling. Cultural Awareness and education will be the key that penetrates years of oppression and opens the door of equality.
