Description
What do Bill Cosby, The Ellen Show, Kevin Hart & Dave Chappelle have in common? Join your host Hermene Hartman as we discuss the strange and controversial phenomenon that is ‘cancel culture’. Today we’re joined by Mary Datcher (marketing consultant), Leon Rogers (Radio Personality with iHeartMedia) and Bishop Tavis L.Grant II (National Field Director Rainbow PUSH).
We explore various cases of celebrities who have been cancelled & try to distinguish between those who might deserve it and those who have been victimised for doing nothing more than expressing their opinions. Is cancel culture a threat to free speech and the freedom to have your own opinion? We dive deep on the case of a recent victim of cancel culture, Dave Chappelle. Dave’s most recent Netflix special “The Closer” has sparked controversy due to his comments about the transgender community. We discuss the potential slippery slope for the sanctity of free speech that cancel culture creates when a group cherry pick’s what they will be offended by whilst giving comparable ‘offenses’ a pass for no apparent reason.
Join us as we discuss all this and much more on today's great episode of N’DIGO studio podcast!
