Nick Cannon Dropped by ViacomCBS After Making Anti-Semitic Comments

ViacomCBS is ending its long-running relationship with Nick Cannon after he made anti-Semitic comments on his podcast.

In the June 30 episode of “Cannon’s Class,” the actor and TV host interviewed Professor Griff, a rapper who was a part of Public Enemy before leaving the group after making anti-Semitic remarks.

On the podcast, Cannon said Black people are the “true Hebrews” and talked about anti-Semitic conspiracy theories involving the Rothschild family.

“It’s never hate speech, you can’t be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people,” Cannon said. “When we are the same people who they want to be. That’s our birthright. We are the true Hebrews.”

A ViacomCBS spokesperson released a statement to Variety, saying that the company’s relationship with Cannon is now terminated.

1. Is this freakshow Mariah Carey's spouse?

Mmm hmmm.

[brush]

5. Her ex.

I didn't know he had gone off the deep end. And what's with the head gear? I thought he was still doing that partying, gab show.

[flibbitygiblets]

6. Can't imagine what went wrong between those two

[brush]

8. He cheated.

[gollygee]

10. He has lupus

It can cause head and hair problems. He can wear head gear if he needs to.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. I hadn't even considered his attire. It's what he said that I was referring to

[Cha]

21. I knew they were married &

wondered if it lasted.

It's too bad about whatever the hell it is?

[Siwsan]

2. Well, that was certainly illuminating.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

3. What are the

words hidden behind 'Link to tweet' ?

Thanks !

[tulipsandroses]

4. Nick has been a Hotep for a while. Can't blame Kanye for that.

Somehow when he started wearing those stupid turbans a few years ago, he lost his damn mind.

[Demovictory9]

7. Not so good for the career..no more "americas got talent" for him

[gollygee]

11. He has lupus

Lupus sometimes causes problems with hair.

[tulipsandroses]

17. Yeah, I know he has Lupus, but around the time he started wearing the Turbans, he started saying

stupid shit. This is just the first time its been probably shared on DU.
He said Planned Parenthood is Population control and Eugenics for black women - This is the kind of thing the most prominent Hoteps and traffic in. And yes there are some famous ones out there. A lot of pseudo science and Pseudo history. Taking the painful history of
forced sterilization of black women and using it to promote their junk beliefs, while disregarding women's right to choose.

DU is probably not familiar with HOTEPS, so let me explain. Its a term used mostly on Black Social Media Sites.
HOTEP - Is a controversial term. Some have argued not to use it as a slur - but its taken on that meaning to be insulting way to describe some folks. Kinda like Karen.
A HOTEP is a black person that traffics in bigotry, misogyny, pseuodo history - It usually sounds like the bullshit he was saying on this video and other crap-

23. Thanks for the explain, Tulips. So in simple terms

hotep has evolved to apply to his sort of hard-core cultural conservatives. Which the argument he got fired and the rest you report certainly indicate.

[OneGrassRoot]

28. Thanks for this. Question...

If you might happen to have any insight, do you feel Farrakhan has much influence on the Black men holding these beliefs? I'm going to rectify it soon, but I admittedly don't know much about Farrakhan beyond his seemingly consistent anti-Semitic and homophobic statements.

[tulipsandroses]

30. No. There is an underbelly for this kind of thing that has nothing to do with Farrakhan

No - Farrakhan has his faults. And some of these guys may cite him but - he's probably not much of an influence on these guys.
Like a lot of things these days. Blame social media. A lot of this crap is posted on Youtube and Facebook. Its like listening to Fox News Talking Points. Some people get brainwashed by this stuff the way Fox viewers get brainwashed.

Some of it is really out there. I lost a friend that got sucked into this. It was maddening. We argued all the time. It was sad to see him brainwashed. Its a mish mash of stuff out there. From the very extreme to the nutty stuff

[OneGrassRoot]

33. Thanks so much for the reply! n/t

[tulipsandroses]

18. That didn't take long. He has been fired from Wild N Out

I bet Masked Singer won't be too far behind.

Stop getting your education from youtube and facebook. Try opening a book moron.

[demmiblue]

27. He is remaining as the host of "The Masked Singer". n/t

[demmiblue]

20. True, I will change the title. n/t

[Progressive Jones]

9. Alrighty, Then ! nt

[BannonsLiver]

13. So he's just another racist then.

Got it. Thanks for clarifying that, Nick.

[Blue_true]

14. Like W said about Trump's inauguration address, "That was some crazy shit".

Cannon doesn’t deserve to have a show of any type.

[Behind the Aegis]

15. bigoted antisemite

[Skittles]

16. who?

[Hortensis]

22. My response also. But I remembered this on looking him up.

Or at least it may have been him. He's hardly the only one pushing this stuff.

“The people that don’t have [melanin] are a little less,” Cannon said, claiming, “when they were sent to the mountains of Caucasus … The sun then started to deteriorate them, so then they’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem, they’re acting out of a deficiency."

"So, therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive," he continued. "So then, these people that didn’t have what we have -- and when I say we, I speak of the melanated people -- they had to be savages … They’re acting as animals so they’re the ones that are actually closer to animals. They’re the ones that are actually the true savages."

Nothing new under that sun.

[JonLP24]

32. He was really big on Nickelodeon when I was a teen/kid

That is what jump started what little career he has left.

[Behind the Aegis]

19. Fired from one show.

Let's see what happens next. Already loving the defense of this asshole's remarks from various people. Should be an awesome shitshow.

[demmiblue]

26. He is remaining as the host of "The Masked Singer".

Nick Cannon Apologizes for Anti-Semitic Remarks as Fox Announces He'll Remain Host of Masked Singer

While ViacomCBS severed ties with Cannon after a decades-long relationship with the Wild 'n Out host, Fox said in a statement Wednesday that Cannon will remain as host of the Masked Singer.

https://people.com/tv/nick-cannon-apologizes-anti-semitic-remarks-fox-announces-remains-host-masked-singer/

And this:

Charlamagne Tha God, whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey, discussed Cannon's firing from ViacomCBS on his show The Breakfast Club where he defended the actor by further perpetuating the trope that Jewish people control the media.

"Listen, Nick is my guy. I hate it had to be him, but that's what you can do when you have the power," he said. "And if there's one thing Jewish people have showed us, it's they have the power. I can't wait until the day black people are able to fire people for saying things about us that we deem racist. We can barely get cops fired for actually killing us!"

The Anti-Defamation League states that claims that Jewish people control the media have been pushed for decades.

Ugh.

[Behind the Aegis]

29. Isn't amazing that a charge of antisemitism brings out MORE antisemitism?!

Someone questioned why Biden now has a Jewish liaison…well...

[ChazII]

24. Viacom

made the right call in terminating his contract.

[Iggo]

25. We're fighting against white people who say that about black people.

And it’s not because they’re white.

It’s because they’re wrong.

Catch up, Nick.

[la-trucker]

31. This doesn't help. either BLM or the Democrats
