I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't agree on that and there are people obsessed with a largely fictitious cancel culture who ignore real problems.

I kinda think that a journalist being browbeaten into creepy groveling apologies for interviewing a black BLM supporter who thinks that crime within the black community is also a problem. But apparently it's just fine in your book.

Let's just say I don't agree with that characterization of what happened.

Question: Do you think it's healthy to have a media climate in which any journalist, especially a non-black one, will hesitate to allow someone to air the sort of opinion that Fang was ripped to shreds for platforming?

Replying to @CathyYoung63 @AliceFromQueens
What's unhealthy is that I've never been in newsroom or publication where there were more than (at best) a tiny sprinkling of Black reporters and editors. And I've published widely.

Why the dodge? Cathy's q is central to the debate. I would've editorialized the interview because I wouldn't want to be canceled and because "black-on-black crime" is an idiotic concept but then I'd be "speaking over" a black person as wokes would say (and with reason).

Did he use the phrase "black-on-black crime"?

He didn't? What did Lee get canceled for? Brb watching the video...

I think it's a mistake to think that it was just one tweet that caused this (just as it is a mistake to think it was just the Cotton op ed that got Bennet into trouble).

What evidence do you have for believing that it was more than one tweet--for which he did a needless gunpoint-apology, of course?

Again, I'm not comfortable with turning people who are engaged in an office dispute and attempting a reconciliation into proxies for a culture war. I think there's something sick in that.

Replying to @ElijahDelMedigo @AliceFromQueens and
I've seen enough office disputes to know that the culture war framing that is sometimes used for them are often only a small part of larger story. Have you ever worked in an office?
