In the same week that Disney character PEPE LE PEW and several DR, SUESS books were CENSORED, the GRAMMY AWARD'S grand performance came from rap stars, CARDI B & MEGAN THA STALLION, performing WAP, a hit record about their vagina. Special guest, Word On The Street co-host, SHELLEY WYNTER drops by the studio to make heads or tails of CANCEL CULTURE up against the anything goes culture, also prevalent today. The narrative behind WAP is this is a form of BLACK WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT, while others consider it the exact opposite. PEPE LE PEW a popular DYSNEY character invented in 1945 and popularized through the 80s & 90s as a "ladies’ man" for his relentless pursuit of his love interest has been determined inappropriate today; and publicly denounced, despite rarely making appearances in any recent DYSNEY films. Is this an effective use of CANCEL CULTURE to teach young boys to respect women?  If it is considered effective, how do we juxtapose the CENSORSHIP of this character with primetime celebration of BLACK ? MENTAL DIALOUGE asking the questions America’s afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
