We've seen a lot of our black male celebrities get "canceled" lately - from Diddy to Jonathan Majors to Chris Brown. Not that some of them don't deserve it, but why does it seem like black men have become the face of cancel culture when there are other people doing the same things? Shannon, Lisa, and Karen discuss canceling's humble beginnings to how it got chopped and screwed and it's intertwining with the me too movement.
