I’m not a racist, but am I allowed to be? I don’t hate blacks, but am I allowed to? Right? Are you with me, folks? See, that’s what’s going on. That’s what the cancel culture does. The government, the society, whoever, they make a set of values, and if you don’t agree with the set of values, they ban you on Facebook. They don’t give you the right to the free discussion [or] the free speech. If I wanted to say I was a racist, and I want to be a racist, they can’t come along and say “you’re not allowed to be a racist”. We’re not going to listen to you. That’s the cancel culture.

As a private company, Facebook does not have to give you a platform to air your views, any more than the owner of an auditorium is required to give you time on their stage. However, what do you hope to accomplish by airing racist views? They’ve been in the minority for 50 years, at least in mainstream society. Do you expect to find new converts, or find new buddies to join in a circle jerk of hate?
“We’re not going to listen to you. That’s the cancel culture.”
Nope.
What it is, is people excercising their right to dissasociate with a hateful lunatic.
I’m not a racist, but am I allowed to be?
Okay. Get on the next flight to Heathrow/Gatwick and be racist to this person:

After all: why let a little something called Section 5 of the Public Order Act stop you from having your freedom cancelled by this particular officer of Her Majesty's Constabulary, Dave Derp...?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
I think you'll find that your precious '1st Amendment' ceases to exist beyond the gates of the US Embassy on the Thames Embankment in London.
You'll certainly be cancelling your own 'argument' if you don't ...!
It’s called human decency and hating people for dumb stuff like skin color is mind-bendingly stupid and irrational… like discrimination based on nose size.
“ALRIGHT, RINGO! GET IN THE BACK OF THE BUS!”
You can think/believe whatever you damn well please-you simply can’t act on your thoughts/beliefs.
I think all republican Plague RRRRRRRats are irredeemable filth who should be cancelled & used as pothole filler, but I can’t steal from them, vandalize their property, deny them housing/employment/healthcare/wedding cakes or knowingly spread rumors about them. Nor is any private company obligated to provide you a platform to splatter your ridiculous opinions. Your 1st amendment rights are not being infringed upon; it’s the rest of us telling you to shut the fuck up. If you choose to share your position-on anything, be prepared for blowback. Why is that so hard to comprehend?
You still have the right to say racist bullshit, just not on Facebook. No one can stop you from going out into your yard and screaming slurs at the clouds.
I’m not a racist, but am I allowed to be? I don’t hate blacks, but am I allowed to?
Yes, you are. Just like others are allowed to disagree with you and claim you are an anti-human jerk.
And I am allowed to point out that Dave Daubenmire can be anagrammed into I’m Undead Beaver .
"If I wanted to say I was a racist, and I want to be a racist, they can’t come along and say “you’re not allowed to be a racist”. We’re not going to listen to you. That’s the cancel culture."
And if the Dixie Chicks are critical about Pres Bush, "Cancel Kultyurr" says you're not allowed to do that.
And if a Teletubbie carries a purse, "Cancel Kultyurr" says you're not allowed to do that.
And if 80 million Americans vote a fraud out of office, "Cancel Kultyurr" TRIES to say you're not allowed to do that. But turns out we can.
Get t h e log outta your eye before you cry about Cancel Culture.
Did he miss the memo about racism being evil, a form of Pride with inclusions of Envy and Sloth? So why would it be right for any society, state or anarchic, to knowingly suffer evil?
Unlike the thoughts in your head, the actions you take and sentiment you spread do not occur within a vacuum. They impact the lives of others. Don't think that's your problem? Then we have a problem and it's you. Resent that kind of restriction? Guess who lives with - and frequently dies because of - infinitely more hostile scrutiny.
I’m sure Facebook and Reddit learnt that allowing these hateful boards was costing themm too much for what they earnt with them. For exemple, learning a mass murder was livestreamed without being interrupted made Facebook look bad, along with pedo and pro-death squad subs on Reddit.
What are you whinging about, racist? Of course if you make remarks that people don’t like, they have the right not to listen, or to stand up to you - that is free speech. Being cancelled is a lot easier for you, than a black fist striking you in the gob that you just can’t keep shut.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
