Stephen A. Smith & Dr. Michael Eric Dyson Talk Cancel Culture | Know Mercy

Stephen A. talks to Dr. Michael Eric Dyson–New York Times bestselling author and distinguished University Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University–about the hot-button issue of cancel culture. In this clip, Dyson explains why he finds cancel culture “abhorrent,” saying: “I'm an ordained Baptist minister. I believe in second chances. I believe in people messing up, then fessing up and dressing up, and doing the right thing. So no, I'm not one of these ‘Let's cut 'em out. Let's destroy them. Let's kill my enemies.’ No, let's convert them. Let's talk to them. Let's engage them. Even if we ultimately disagree, let's treat each other like human beings.”
