Current Events > Twitter wants to cancel guitarist Eric Clapton for previous controversial remark

(+) Yeah! (+)

Came here expecting an overreaction from Twitter as usual.
Was surprised to see that it was actual racism this time and probably does warrant canceling this racist guy.

He isn't a civil rights leader. He's a musician. We like and listen to him for his music. It's hard to give a shit about what he thinks about anything.

I also don't call a plumber when I'm having electrical problems.

Cool, but if I was an artist of some sort and you enjoyed my work and then suddenly stopped enjoying it because you read a post of mine...that would be stupid. Separate the art from the artist.

Would you start shitting outside if you found out Sir John Harrington was a pedophile and a rapist?

Hilarious how many people just ignored this

It's uplifting that people ignored it. They're musicians. Their opinions on how medical things should be handled are worthless.

Canceling really doesn't do any good if someone's already made their millions of dollars and classic records and cemented their legacy. But yeah that's pretty shitty.

It's cool. Not everyone is big on reasoning. Stay on this path and it'll seem like Peter Gabriel wrote that song about you.

Imagine digging up dirt on someone from 1976 so you can virtue signal on social media.

People do it because they have little to no sense of accomplishment and feel empty because of it. Things like this help them to not think about that emptiness as often.

More like Eric Crapton BOOM got im

I'll continue to not listen to him. And if I did listen to him, I'd continue to do that too. You can separate the art from the artist.

Layla is a good song.

I guess you revenge hungry guys would be completely satisfied to know this particular piece of history lol^

But I dont get it, theres nothing to gain and everyone ITT is 40 years too late to an event that has actually gone full circle vs events not quite finished or resolved without an apology or some kind of adverse affect to someone >_>

What isn't to get? They lead incredibly comfortable and boring lives and this is a source of excitement for them where they ALSO get to feel superior.

You wont be able to take away his home lol the only thing you can do is make this stick in such a way that it affects those around him

But why would you wanna do that if its not actually him though <_<

Im surprised I never heard about Clapton being a racist piece of shit until now. fuck him.

Damn that sucks I always liked Van Morrison

This, makes sense as to why he gets off to trucks tho

A lot of people seem to believe "cancel culture is a real problem causing harm" and "haha these losers on Twitter can't actually do anything" without ever trying to square those ideas.

I love Clapton's tunes. I don't know the guy and I'm not trying to know the guy. I don't give a shit about the personal lives of celebrities.

His net worth is $450 million dollars. Twitter can't do shit to him lmao

also you @Heavy_D_Forever

Eh...I really don't think listening to a racist's music means you're either okay with racism or are a racist yourself. That's dishonest.

Like, I'm certainly not a pedophile just because I still like Michael Jackson's music.
