A prominent economist faced pressure from others in his field to step down from an editing post because of comments he made criticizing the Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police movements, reflecting some of the turmoil roiling economics and other professions following the recent police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis.
The sparring this week between critics and defenders of University of Chicago economist Harald Uhlig, the lead editor of the Journal of Political Economy, comes during national...
Time to stop black privilege
So much for free speech!
Practice makes perfect, 8 months before death of George Floyd. Oprah?
What happened to freedom of speech
So much for their idea of “free speech”! Who’s fooling who? This is bulling that we don’t put up with in our schools, nor should we put up with it now! I’ve lost all respect for their movement, because they have no respect for other points of view! Your alternative, LEAVE!
Stay strong the politically correct police still whining
No one can have an opinion anymore. Ridiculous! 🤦🏽♀️
So now speaking out against a fundraising organization for the Dem party can get you fired? Crazy times.
So he can't have an opinion and exercise his freedom of speech?
bookburning next
This has gone too far
Every ethnic group in history has once practiced slavery and some still do. Africans especially continue to practice it in Africa! Muslims, ditto. This is highly hypocritical and ridiculous! The uneducated among the black community really hit that stereotype on the head!
Why is he not allowed to express his opinion? so if I don’t agree with the current political situation, I deserve to be fired?
The only thing that needs to be defunded are the salaries of the pigs in Congress.
If you never heard of Culture Revolution, here you go:
There is again no freedom of speech. America is pushing for one voice, one ideology, and one spirit. This is America’s culture revolution. If you don’t really know what communism is, this is!
The leftist mob behaviors more and more like the communist party. Is it inevitable for leftism?
You are not allowed to say that. Heil Hitler!
Options are welcome as long as you believe what “they” believe BREAKING
Free speech is dead in this country (don’ tell me this is not state action abridging speech)....the worst part is big corporations are complicit in this cancel culture mentality...WTF is going on?
America is better with me.
Stop cancel culture
BLM are activists with an agenda that is not about G Floyd. They thrive on hate keeping black & white, a daily news story. If we are an advanced community, why WONT folks review the actual data on black as an entire topic? Why won’t and others bring it forward?
FreedomOfSpeech even If against the mob!!! They can say what they feel, so can everyone else, this is AMERICA!
One can never criticize Marxist movements unless they are not violent enough.
'Defund the Police' is a terrible slogan. Any slogan you have to explain, is a terrible slogan. Naturally, Trump will distort and twist it. Defund as far as Trump is concerned means no police at all, or in other words, anarchy.
Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization thru and thru
So, can't have a differing opinion than Blklivesmatter or DefundThePolice? This whole situation wreaks of hypocrisy! The Lord already prepared me for the day when I won't be able to buy or sell because of Satan followers. They will shut you down so you can't! prophecy
In Cuba, if you expressed an opinion not in line with established party, you would be fired immediately and forced to work the fields, far away from your family; Or worse yet, arrested. Having a difference of opinion, and respecting it, is part of a democracy.
I believe in talking out against racism, but I don’t agree with someone must lose their job if you have a different opinion about how things are handled.
People are fed up with this nonsense
Dangerous, when you lose your ability to have an opinion in a so called free country. Not cool
Because we can’t criticize
Burn the witch!!
Pathetic
NO ALL LIVES MATTER 😀😀😀
WARNING--I saw this in 2015. CancelCulture will bite the Democrats in the ass. When the left turn on their allies, their allies leave. It needs to stop. This is how Trump came to power. Show compassion, forgiveness when people work to be better. Allow people to grow and learn
Great Job!!! Don’t cave and be the next Brees!!!
Erased. We are in a revolution folks. These people are insane. Now you know how it happened Germany.
As a society, we are a failure
Do level-headed moderates exist anymore?
Rather than swallowing the narrative maybe you should investigate the money spent on social services. The Democrat run cities keep getting more money but the people in the underclass keep getting poorer.
Of course .... the folks of CancelCulture are coming for all of us eventually.
You can disagree and be critical. That is what we do. No carte blanche - ever.
I'm starting to see cracks The more the BLM and other activist say that Black Lives Matter, the less they matter to people Like the black lives didn't matter before the whole community was branded by fanatical left-wing nut-bars? They offer nothing but destruction
BlackLivesMatter = Nazis
This is just like Mao and Stalin We must support American ideals not these radical leftists Please stand up for what’s right
Fuck that! Stand your ground! This world is so weak, could you imagine where we would be if this was the 30’s,40’s? Everyone would bow down to Germany and Japan.
Anyone who bows down to the mob is not 'woke', they are not virtuous, they are a coward.
Politisourced The only way this shit will end is if people stop caving in to the mob.
You are free to exercise your 1st Amendment.. unless we don’t agree with you. Ridiculous.
Is there any courage left in this world?
The Nouveau Fascists scare so many
Cancel culture and censorship has got to stop. Unamerican.
Independent journalism? Free Press? You eat your own if they're not complicit with group thought? Sounds like you're the enemy of your own people. What Trump has said is nothing compared to what you do.
The editor should tell his critics to go eat a bag of...
The conformity theocracy in action!
Liberals cry about democracy and must protect freedom of speech. Throw that out the window.
FFS! Is this still America?
The cancel culture push must stop. Folks are fed up with this nonsense
More cancel culture! Can no one have an opinion other than this groupthink anymore?
Remember when the Democrats claimed they were 'open minded'? Good times.
It's past time to defund the universities that filled these kids heads with nonsense.. stop all the grants and scholarships
Suppression is the disintegration of the right of free speech. Were one to advocate for the destruction of free thought, would lead to the line of Tyranny and oppression.
Ofcourse he is .. this is 2020.. everyone is going crazy
During the Khmer Rouge reign former civil servants, doctors, teachers and other professionals were stripped of their possessions and forced to toil in the fields as part of a re-education process. Sounds similar to “cancel culture” & “diversity training“.
Freshwater economists and social justice causes are like water and oil — they don’t mix.
If you disagree, the mob will come for you. Free speech is dead under the liberal loonies.
America is dying from insanity.
