Kevin Hart hits back at cancel culture

THANKS, JILLIAN. MEANWHILE, 25 MINUTES BEFORE THE TOP OF THE HOUR. KEVIN HART CALLING OUT CANCEL CULTURE HIGHLIGHTING OPEN EXPERIENCE AFTER OSCARS HOST IN 2019. HART SAYS, QUOTE: WHEN DID WE GET TO A POINT WHERE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO OPERATE PERFECTLY ALL THE TIME? PEOPLE GET LOCKED UP SO THEY CAN BE TAUGHT A LESSON. WHEN THEY GET OUT, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER. BUT, IF THEY COME OUT AND PEOPLE GO OH, I'M NOT GIVING YOU A JOB BECAUSE YOU ARE IN JAIL. THEY ARE SAYING THAT ALL LIFE SHOULD BE OVER BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE? THIS IN A BRAND NEW OP-ED THE NEXT GUEST AGREES DEFINING CANCEL CULTURE FAST FOOD CLOSURE. THEOLOGIAN JAMES DEAN OF KING INDICATED SCHOOL OVER IN TEXAS. LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, DEAN. HOW DID WE GET TO THIS POINT? >> WELL, I THINK WE GOT TO THIS POINT BY ACTUALLY HAVING THIS IMPOSED LINE OF HIGH BROW MORE RATTLE OR PROTECT AT THIS TUESDAY AND THE PEOPLE WHO SUSPECT REPOSITION EACH TIME. FOR MANY OF US OUT IN THE MIDDLE WHO ARE QUITE CONFUSED BY WHERE IS THIS MORALITY BEING PLACED? ON THE ROAD WAY TO WORK OR WAITING IN LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE AND SOMEONE HAS AN ISSUE TO PICK WITH US ABOUT SOMETHING. AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT FESTERS AND NEEDS TO BE RELEASED SOMEHOW. I THINK THAT SOME OF US TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE SEE THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA THERE IS A SCANDAL, THERE IS AN ISSUE INVOLVING A CELEBRITY, A MOVIE STAR AND WE TAKE THE TIME TO GET THAT REDRESS FROM A PERFECT STRANGER, WHEN REALLY THE ISSUE LIES WITHIN US. BRIAN: DO YOU KNOW WHAT, JAMES? WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THE BEGINNING IT WAS THE LEFT IN HOLLYWOOD CALLING OUT THE REST OF THE CULTURE NOT BEING AS WOKE AS THEM. NOW IT SEEMS TO BE BLOWING UP IN THEIR FACE IN SO MANY RESPECTS. KEVIN HART I DON'T CONSIDER THAT HE SEEMS MORE OF A VICTIM OF THIS. ESPECIALLY A COMEDIAN CONSTANTLY PUSHING THE ENVELOPE DIFFERENT IN THE 90s AND 2,000S THAN IT IS NOW. CORRECT? >> YES, I DO THINK THAT IS THE CASE. I'M AN EDUCATOR AND THEOLOGIAN. HE IS A COMEDIAN. COMMENTS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD AS OPPOSED TO SPEAKING ABOUT GENERALITIES IN SOCIETY. WHAT I WOULD SAY WHAT I WAS EXPRESSING ABOUT WHO WE REALLY ARE AS HUMAN BEINGS AND ALSO ABOUT OUR GOOD CONSCIENCE. LACK OF PRACTICE OF GOOD CONSCIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BRIAN: JAMES, LASTLY, HOW DOES THIS END? DO WE START SOBERING UP AS A CULTURE AND UNDERSTAND WE ARE PUTTING OURSELVES, WE ARE EXPECTING A LEVEL OF WOKENESS THAT WE CAN'T LIVE UP TO? >> WELL, THE ONE THING I DO APPRECIATE THAT KEVIN HART STATESIDE THAT WE DO NEED TO HUMANIZE PEOPLE, RIGHT? SO WE NEED BASICALLY TO TAKE THE TIME TO SEE PEOPLE AS THREE DIMENSIONAL BEINGS, WORTHY OF OURSELF REFLECTION. THE WAY THAT WE GET TO CHANGE MUCH OF THIS IS BY DOING SOME SELF-REFLECTION AND BEGINNING TO ADDRESS THOSE FEELINGS THAT WE HAVE ABOUT THE DAILY SLICE THAT WE DO GET. I THINK WE WILL HAVE THAT I WILL LEAVE YOU ONE QUICK STATEMENT BY THE FAMOUS PSYCHOLOGIST AND PHILOSOPHER WILLIAM JAMES WHO SAID THAT WE ARE LIKE ISLANDS IN THE SEA, SEPARATE ON THE SURFACE BUT CONNECT IN THE DEEP. I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE ALL CONNECTED AND OUR STORIES DESERVE SELF-REFLECTION. BRIAN: ABSOLUTELY. WHETHER ONCE STARS OF THE OFFICE OR HOST OF THE BACHELOR OR AN OUTSTANDING COMEDIAN, IT'S HITTING EVERYBODY, AND IT'S GOT TO STOP. JAMES, THANKS FOR WRITING THE COLUMN. I APPRECIATE IT JAMES, THE UPPER SCHOOL DEAN OF KINKADE SCHOOL OVER IN TEXAS.
