There is a right time to use that word? Can you give me an example?The problem is dumb white people can’t discern the right and wrong times to use it

Again, who is calling for him to be cancelled?You could argue it's part of a free market society for sure and I would agree with you. I don't think the people who 'cancel' people are a majority of society though. I don't think the woke crowd is the majority of society. I could be wrong. Just from my observation but I live in a place that, generally, isn't very woke (other than Austin which is woke enough for the whole state).
I am not getting the tie to capitalism, however.
Either way, I don't like it. You can like free market society and not like every part of it. Just like you can be a D or R and not like every part of the party. Or hell, even be a libertarian and not like every part of the party. Or any party for that matter.
This is what confuses me as well.Again, who is calling for him to be cancelled?
I cancelled Lostprophets and Brand New because of pedo shit. I think they were solid cancels.
Again, who is calling for him to be cancelled?
Most of what I see is people calling him a stupid drunk moron who is potentially damaging his lucrative career by acting like an asshole. Seems like an accurate read of the situation from where I’m standing.
I knew about lostprophets but what’s this about BrandNew?
So, the only cancelling I have seen so far is that iheart Radio has taken off his music from their platform. They have made a corporate decision not to carry his music at this time.You're smarter than this, Torbee. There are other places to read other than HROT and the Quad Cities newspaper. Get on the cesspool of twitter and read the cancelling yourself.

If you have a problem with that, take it up with them.
I'll start caring when people care about it regardless of who says it.
If he's talented enough it won't matter much in the long term.You're smarter than this, Torbee. There are other places to read other than HROT and the Quad Cities newspaper. Get on the cesspool of twitter and read the cancelling yourself.
I am on Twitter often, following legit journalists and sports reporters I like. Oddly, I don’t see a lot of crap cancel bullshit. Maybe people should be more discerning when they create their following list?You're smarter than this, Torbee. There are other places to read other than HROT and the Quad Cities newspaper.

You seem opposed to people having consequences for their actions. Odd take, but you are entitled to your opinion.It's a corporate decision to try and satisfy the woke crowd. Don't have a huge problem with that.
I am talking about the individuals who are all over twitter/FB/whatever else people are on trying to say he's a bad person and ruin his career when, I would think, 90% of them have never heard of him or his music. It's the whole "someone was mean/said something I didn't like so I am going to make sure I try and ruin their lives" crowd.
The people who sent pictures of the white house break in people to their employers. Those people are scum of the earth.
Snitches get stiches.
Of course there is. I do not understand the mentality of someone not listening to good music because the person who put that music out said something they don't like/agree with. Makes no sense to me.
Especially the woke crowd that probably gets excited when Michael Jackson comes on at the bar.

Why are you so concerned about the reasons that people choose to listen or not listen to a particular music artist?
Well, a Major Radio outlet has "canceled" him, so I'd venture to say others will follow as media pressure will follow. We now live in a society that is pretty much one (screw up) and you're done.Again, who is calling for him to be cancelled?

You must be new here... I hate hypocrites. This is well established.
I would be intrigued if you counties that same feeling after discovering the definition of hypocrite
If you don't listen to country music, then I wouldn't beat yourself up too much...I feel the same way with other genres of music.I have literally never heard of this guy before this.

Again, the "woke crowd" isn't his target market....he's a country star. I guess this country is so racist now that if you think the N word is inappropriate you are part of the "woke crowd"? K. My senior citizen parents will be happy to know they are part of that group.It's a corporate decision to try and satisfy the woke crowd. Don't have a huge problem with that.

He was canceled...It's country so he likely won't be canceled. The Dixie Chicks however said they didn't like the president and that sin was unforgiveable and they were canceled.
As someone who’s mostly black-Asian even I don’t really care. If there are rules about it then rules should apply to everyone. If you have no problem if certain people say it then your opinion is garbage to me. iHeart radio plays songs that have the n-word in the lyrics.We found the "all lives matter" guy.
He was canceled...
Country Star Morgan Wallen Suspended By Label, Dropped By Radio, CMT After Using Slur
The moves came after TMZ posted a video of the fast-rising country star using a racial slur.www.npr.org
His label dropped him...whatever that means.They’re still selling his new album, so I don’t know what this means. He can’t record new music, which he wasn’t scheduled to do?
His label dropped him...whatever that means.
He’ll persona non grata for a while
Including yourself?
I disagree. I think people who storm our nation's Capitol, which represents this great country, are the scum of the earth. They should have been outed. I would out anyone whom tried to overthrow the government.It's a corporate decision to try and satisfy the woke crowd. Don't have a huge problem with that.

Nope. Still waiting. @Justhawk9 any response yet?Has this been answered yet?
Maybe more serious than thatHe’s “suspended” from his record label. His album just came out, so he’s not due to record for a while. This feels like Urban Meyer suspending players for the off-season.

This dude has a history of being a drunken douchebag, this is just the latest thing. He should get cancelled for that haircut....people not supporting someone they think is a douchebag is just a harsh reality of capitalism I guess. Grab a kleenex if necessary

As it relates to Morgan Wallen, he screwed up and there appear to be consequences. That's how life goes. Actions have consequences.
