So, I think we need to put things in perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burton even said that there are \u201cgood signs\u201d happening in the culture right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of cancel culture, I think it\u2019s misnamed. That\u2019s a misnomer,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we have a consequence culture, and that consequences are finally encompassing everybody in the society, whereas they haven\u2019t been ever in this country. I think there are good signs that are happening in the culture right now. I think it has everything to do with a new awareness on people who were simply unaware of the real nature of life in this country for people who have been othered since this nation began.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.4117647058824\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/levarburton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@levarburton<\/a>: \u201cIn terms of cancel culture, I think it\u2019s misnamed.

I don\u2019t know that people are purely canceled because \u2026 I don\u2019t know that there are any pure irredeemable situations unless it\u2019s been deemed, not that you have said something off, but that you are that way and that there is stuff in your past that is consistent with that thing that you said, that one-off thing that looked like a one-off moment,\u201d Cheadle told Fox News earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Cheadle added that the nature of social media has created a \u201clive by the sword, die by the sword\u201d environment and that people who often participate in it are dismayed when the system comes back to bite them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if you live by the sword, you die by the sword\u2026 I think that cancel culture, a lot of that is just a fabrication,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not really real. I don\u2019t think a lot of people who are crying about being canceled are really \u2018canceled.\u2019 I think they just don\u2019t enjoy the spot that they had before. And they\u2019ve gotten flack and blowback.
