Lizzo Explains Why Cancel Culture Is 'Appropriation'

by Daryl Nelson

A lot of folks believe that cancel culture is stupid. But Lizzo says it's actually appropriation. 

This may be a random time to say this but it’s on my heart.. cancel culture is appropriation.

There was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now it’s become trendy, misused and misdirected.

I hope we can phase out of this & focus our outrage on the real problems.

Lizzo's tweet may lead one to wonder if she thinks comedian Aries Spears should be canceled.  A lot of people called for his cancellation after he body-shamed her last year and compared her shape to poop.
