If you're doing to them is what they are doing to you. You are doing the same. Cancel culture is is a left issue, its a country issue. We all need to get over the emotional reactions. We need to be able to disagree and respect.
The rights way of cancelling what you don't agree with is mass shooting. Dylan Roof cancelled the life of 9 Americans. Again its not a left or right issue. Its an American problem. Some is warranted. Some is not.
I didn't say they did, but how do you think he identified as. Charlottesville... Did the driver not cancel the only life lost. What side if the isle was he on. The Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. Same situation. So let's all stop pointing fingers, admit all have issues, fix them and work together.
it makes perfect sense. there is a difference between celebrating/honoring bad historical figures vs learning about them in history books. in this case, we don't need to honor strom. keep him in the the state history texts and learn from his mistakes. keeping names and statues that celebrate segregationists sends the message that your school/state/city aligns with their values. i would hope that no school/state/city etc would want to align with (or celebrate) racist values anymore. those days should be over. Learning and understanding history is different than celebrating it.

UofSC Black student athletes push for renaming of Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center
A group of prominent University of South Carolina student athlete alumni will hold a news conference ahead of a hearing with the Presidential Commission on University Historywww.live5news.com
When did he ever asked for forgiveness or apologized to the people he hurt. George Wallace is an example of a man who had a troubled history but who in later regretted his past and apologized to the black community. Thurmond never acknowledged his past, and it's hard to forgive someone if they act as it never happened. He had plenty of opportunities to at least extend that olive branch but never did.
People aren’t just one thing. They evolve and grow. Bad people can do good things and good people can do bad things , you’re judging Strom Thurman through a 2020 lens and not putting his actions into the context of the period. It’s narrow minded and incomplete. Storm Thurman radically changed his views on race as he aged. Why would we ignore this and not judge his accomplishments in totality. We are all aware he had a mixed race daughter that he cared for and supported. He clearly educated himself , accepted his racism and successfully dealt with it. It’s revisionist history not to acknowledge his growth and accomplishments, but if it makes you feel better about yourself to attack and point the finger of racism at him....if that’s what you feel you need to do to prove your not a racist...then have at it. It’s just virtue signaling.
Hilarious. Your president is the biggest bully of them all.
Really? You think it's fake news that there was a slide in a HR meeting that said "Zero Tolerance" and said BLM and LGBTQ pride are ok, but Blue Lives Matter, All lives matter, MAGA and "political messages" are fireable offenses? I dislike Trump for a lot of reasons, but he hit that one on the nose, and that Goodyear walked it back is not only not surprising, but proof that negative PR works. Now I believe that notion was good intentioned, to not offend marginalized groups, but it was grossly tone deaf and discriminatory to make it a policy.
