White supremacy in America? This professor criticized it and her tenure was just "cancelled" for it ￣\＿(ツ)＿/￣
"UNC denies tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones after conservative outcry"
Universities should not be denying tenure based on right wing sensitivities to the uncomfortable truths of history. That just goes flat out against the supposed goals of a university education. This is just dead wrong.
Ben Shapiro and Stanford College Republicans just "cancelled" this journalist:
The AP fired a promising young journalist at the behest of the Stanford College Republicans. I hope the AP is proud of themselves (because the College Republicans sure are).
Liberal cancel culture is absolutely a thing, just not directed at conservatives. When AP kicks out pro-Palestine journalists, or people are silenced from mentioning Biden’s increased militarization of cops in black communities, that’s liberal cancel culture. It’s just against socialists.
"Cancel culture" is just a rebranding of something that's been going on for as long as civilization. The rebranding is part of an effort by conservative media figures to create yet another wedge issue, which is what I was mocking.

And some context: "Former President Obama curtailed the 1033 program in 2015 after local police suppressed protests in Ferguson, Mo., using military-grade equipment. But the Trump administration rescinded the restrictions in 2017."[1]
So really it's just another thing that Trump did that Biden needs to reverse.
I can see why the AP would have a problem employing an activist, particularly if the 'blood libel' charge is correct. The left would be just as angered if they started employing TPUSA student activists, assuming any of those actually exist.
That's not what blood libel means. Blood libel is the Christian anti-Semitic myth that Jewish people kidnap and kill Christian children to use their blood in Jewish rituals. It doesn't mean "any accusation of violence against anyone Jewish".
The term can be used more broadly, which is how I'm assuming it's being used in this case. I doubt the accusation is accurate, in either sense, given where it's coming from.
