Obama: 'The world is messy'

Last October [2019], former President Barack Obama challenged cancel culture and the idea of being "woke" - a term describing being alert to injustices and what's going on in the community - saying change was complex.

"I get a sense among certain young people on social media that the way of making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people," Mr. Obama said.

"The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws."
