Cancel Culture’s Failure: James Baldwin’s Famous Essay Exposes The Left’s Flawed Logic

Penned in 1955, Baldwin’s essay takes aim at the famous protest novel, Native Son, written by his friend and former mentor, Richard Wright. Suffused with communist ideals, most of Native Son amounts to didactic slop, as Baldwin rightly points out.
