Another note:
I think there’s a difference worth considering between monuments for dead people, and people like Ice Cube, who are still alive. Which is, a living person still has the ability to acknowledge their problematic behavior, change, and make right what they’ve done.
...the problem is that there is no demand for consistency with regards to "acknowledging a past wrong". The rules are seemingly applied based on where a person ranks on the "intersectionality hierarchy"
Ice Cube's name was brought up, so I'll use him as a prime example.
He went on Bill Maher's show, and basically demanded an apology for Bill Maher telling a joke that had the N word in it. And the expectation was that in order to be a "good liberal" Bill had to apologize.
Yet, the irony there is that Ice Cube was there, in part, to promote the 25 year anniversary re-release of the infamous "N.W.A" album (the one that had the song about police, everyone knows what I'm talking about)
...and on that album, Ice Cube, himself, used a derogatory term for gay people (the one that starts with F) numerous times. Something that Eminem was badgered into apologizing for, and doing a duet with Elton John to show that he was "cool" and "wasn't using that word seriously"
Ice Cube also had a song, Post-N.W.A called "no Vaseline", in which he made derogatory remarks that could be taken as both homophobic, and antisemitic. "How dare you let a Jew, break up the crew" (followed by some other stuff accusing former band members of doing a certain thing with each other, casting it in a negative tone)...something tells me those lyrics would resulted in a demanded apology and immediate cancellation had they been from a country singer.
If the rules were being applied equally, that'd be one thing, but it's clearly not. Ice Cube is proof of that.
With the intersectionality hierarchy, you can basically punch down (full-force) on anyone below you on the hierarchy, but even you even make a mere criticism upward, prepare to be cancelled and have your actions described as "what's wrong with society"
Thus the reason Dave Rubin (a reasonable, left-leaning, libertarian'ish, Jewish gay man) can be labelled as "alt right" for saying "there's a culture issue happening in certain communities", but Ice Cube can say things that should rightfully be taken as offensive toward gays and Jews, and say it with impunity and nobody is demanding an apology from him
