Adios, Nick Cannon! – At least from ViaComCBS, which terminated its relationship with this mysteriously popular entertainer who has aspired to be the Black Ryan Secrest. Cannon formerly hosted “America’s Got Talent,” and currently serves as the host of Fox Television’s “The Masked Singer.”
After Cannon was revealed to have made heinously repugnant anti-Semitic comments on his YouTube podcast about Jews, ViaComCBS released him yesterday, and issued this statement:
That’s great and well-deserved. Too bad the Democrat Party refuses to do the same kind of thing with its blatant anti-Semitic members of congress like Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But that would require intellectual honesty and integrity, attributes no longer possessed by the Democrat Party.
But back to Mr. Cannon: Everyone needs to carefully read what he actually said and understand he was not making despicably bigoted and racist remarks only about Jews. In the course of his comments, he characterized every white person on earth as sub-human and “closer to animals.”
Here are actual quotes from his rant:
“When you have a person who has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin that they know they will be annihilated, therefore they know that however they got the power, they have a lack of compassion, melanin comes with compassion.”
“Melanin comes with soul, that we call it soul, we soul brothers and sisters, that’s the melanin that connects us so the people that don’t have it, are, and I’m going to say this carefully, are a little less and where the term actually comes from, and I’m going to bring it back around to Minister Farrakhan, where they may not have the compassion.”
“When they were sent to the Mountains of Caucasus, they didn’t have the power of the sun. The sun started to deteriorate them. So, they’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem, they’re acting out of deficiency, so therefore the only way they can act is evil.”
“They have to rob, steal, rape, kill and fight in order to survive. So these people who didn’t have what we have, and when I say ‘we,’ I speak of the melinated people, they had to be savages, they had to be barbaric because they’re in these Nordic mountains, they’re in these rough torrential environments, so they’re acting as animals, so they’re the ones closer to animals, they’re the ones that are actually the true savages.”
[End] Note that ViacomCBS limits its condemnation of Cannon’s inclusively racist remarks about all white people to his attacks on those of the Jewish faith. Apparently, Cannon would have been perfectly okay had he just gone after generic white folks.
Note also that Fox, Cannon’s other current employer in his role on the highly-rated “Masked Singer,” remains studiously mute on the matter.
Cannon engaged here in rancid, racist hate speech, pure and simple, just as Louis Farrakhan does in every speech he delivers. I had fully expected both of these media giants to simply ignore this incident, but now that ViacomCBS has at least partially stepped up to the plate, it’s hard to see how Fox can remain hidden away in a corner of the dugout. But hey, you should never ever underestimate the mendacity and lack of integrity of a big media operation, so don’t hold your breath.
