>On the other hand, when did racial equality become an inherently political topic?

Equality vs hierarchy is literally the core of the difference between right and left, that is the definition of inherently political.

those people have zero cultural or institutional power.
one tiny college versus the other 5,000 colleges where hyper leftist values predominate!

Could you be any more disingenuous?

And no one has ever suggested that other groups don't engage in this sort of activity when they're in power.

It's not 1960 lol, there are not vast swathes of the country where that happens, since the liberal left has almost total control via the Federal bureaucracy for enforcing their values everywhere, not just in blue states
Yeah, the old "white" men who run Hollywood, record labels and the news media.

Oh wait, is that anti-Semitic to say? Then was it anti-white of you to say?

Also being cancelled for opposing a war that was engineered by globalist neocons is not proof that the interests of white males used to be the basis for cancelling people lol.

And there's nothing "democratic" about this lol, the cancelling is still done to suit the interests of those "white" people who run these organisations. No one cares if some people don't want to buy some tickets to a show, they care when Mastercard and Visa have secret blacklists of anyone to the right of Mitt Romney that they don't allow to transact on their monopoly global financial network.

People like you are incredibly dishonest.

Yeah, people are just imagining the waves of deplatforming and online censorship, being fired from their jobs for dissenting from the orthodoxy.

They can't practically do that, you're just making up a course of events that can't happen (people can develop things anonymously and be paid anonymously, and it's absolute nonsense to say that governments are going to be arresting the general public for the "crime" of privacy.

And in America at least it's almost certainly unconstitutional.

Sorry but a duopoly is little different than a monopoly functionally.
Re:Yelp to place “alert” on businesses accused of racism on Friday October 09, 2020 @08:24AM (#24729161)
"And local news doesn’t suck."

Almost every single "business accused of racism" story in the media story turns out to be a hoax. (for obvious reasons, being a victim is now the way to societal approval)

Local news covers these accusations, so it doesn't matter whether they're accurate about the fact that there is no actual evidence for a claim, that will still allow Yelp to label the business as "accused of racism".
