      Yes, actually, if you look at history, "cancel culture" was not somehow invented in 2015 People have always gotten pissed off at some bigot attaining fame and fortune as a slap in the face to their community Sometimes their complaints even get heard, usually they don't

      I once went researching the history of The Diary of Anne Frank and found a surprisingly "modern-feeling" controversy about the 1959 film adaptation The ADL "tried to cancel" Austrian actress Gusti Huber, who'd portrayed Mrs Frank on Broadway and reprised the role in the film

      Because she did, in fact, have close ties to members of the Nazi regime and had gladly appeared in Nazi propaganda films in the 30s and 40s, before whitewashing her past and reinventing herself as an anti-Nazi resister after the war

      They had a petition and they picketed the shoot and everything Ultimately didn't come to much, the movie was still a huge hit and now it's like one paragraph on Huber's Wikipedia page

      You could argue it's not a big deal - Huber never killed anyone herself, everyone is long dead now, the movie "stands on its own", etc But I dunno, I'm still fucking pissed that some Nazi actress played Anne Frank's mom

      More importantly, I'm not gonna go back in time and tell the actual Holocaust survivors who were there in 1958 they were wrong to be upset, that you've got to separate art from the artist, that these cultural issues are downstream of real politics What kind of an asshole would

      Jfc You try to invoke MLK to make your point and turn him into this caricature of a class-forster, like he'd scoff at "cultural issues" mattering But at the same time he was radicalizing re: economic issues he was ALSO radicalizing on "cultural issues"

      His SCLC speech in 1967, "Where Do We Go From Here?" which is almost as much of a Rorschach blot in the hands of later commentators as "I Have A Dream", nevertheless makes it VERY clear he sees Black liberation as a cultural/personal/spiritual quest as much as a matter of policy

      Conservatives mocked the "Black Is Beautiful" slogan of the later Black Power movement and Jesse Jackson's "I Am Somebody" but they both come from this same big capstone speech from MLK himselfpic.twitter.com/yji6evqVm7

      "I'm Black and I'm Beautiful" should by rights put a stake through the heart of the anodyne "colorblindness", "It's best not to see race" interpretation of "I Have A Dream" But white people mostly just pretend this speech didn't happenhttps://youtu.be/voV9ld-Qooc

      So yes, I completely believe Nichelle Nichols' story about MLK calling her telling her not to quit her job on Star Trek Star Trek isn't *that* important, not enough to march in the streets for or start a formal campaign about But it's worth a damn phone call

          The media and the arts and cultural representation aren't the only thing that matters but if you say they straight up DON'T matter or if you adopt this galaxy brain inverted argument that cultural representation is somehow BAD you're a damn fool MLK certainly would've thought so

          It wasn’t a phone call though. Ms. Nichols met Dr. King at an event. There he told her about his family being fans and she mentioned that she was planning to leave Star Trek. Here’s the story in her own words.https://youtu.be/pSq_UIuxba8
