Cancel Culture Court

Welcome back SR Tribe to another serving of The Sophisticatedly Ratchet Podcast!

Within the past several years, the idea that a person can be “canceled” aka, culturally blocked from having a prominent public platform or career — has evolved. The idea of canceling someone coincides with a familiar pattern: A celebrity or other public figure does or says something offensive. A public backlash, often fueled by social media, then comes the calls to cancel the person or basically to end their career. The power of social media has fueled the growth of a Cancel Culture and now if it pleases the Tribe, we present to you our new judicial system, Cancel Culture Court!

In short, Cancel Culture Court is a For Us By Us (FUBU) court system, which interprets, defends, and applies the law in the name of BLACK CULTURE! Cancel Culture Court reviews defendants (i.e. R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Rachel Dolezal) who have been canceled by the black community, reviews offense & charges and discuss potential appeals if deemed appropriate.

The Cancel Culture Court generally does not create the laws, or enforce the laws. However, we did create Cancel Culture Commandments:

• Thou shall have remorse.
• Thou shall not take sides against the culture
• Thou shall not generalize our struggle or race
• Thou shall protect women and children  
• Thou shall not cancel until all facts are presented
• Thou shall not cancel immediately
• Thou shall not cancel once canceled

The Cancel Culture Court decides what really happened and what should be done about it, whether a person committed a cancellable offense and what the punishment should be. The court also provides a peaceful way to decide private disputes that cannot be resolved. Depending on the dispute some cases end up in the federal courts and some end up in state courts, but the only court that matters right now is Cancel Culture Court! Pull up and tune in, Court is in session!
