Amid "cancel culture" and advertisers being accused of silencing conservative voices by canceling ad placements, Ben Carson said that America needs to "grow up" and stop being offended about everything.
Carson, who is the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, made the comments on ABC's This Week.
His comments were not viewed as an attack on the American people. Rather, many observers simply saw Carson speaking the truth.
The politicization of everything needs to stop.
Cancel culture does more dividing than uniting.
Carson made clear that bad things do happen, but not everything that's bad can be blamed on racism or evil intend.
Specifically, Ben Carson said:
We’ve reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try to ascribe some nefarious notion to it. We need to move away from being offended by everything, of going through history and looking at everything, you know, of renaming everything.
And he's exactly right!
