ViacomCBS dropped Nick Cannon from its MTV network following an anti-Semitic tirade in which the host, among other things, accused Jewish people of controlling the global banking system.
"ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism," the media conglomerate, which owns MTV, VH-1, and Cannon’s ‘Wild ‘N Out’ television show, said in a statement Wednesday. "We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’ on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories."
Cannon sparked a firestorm of criticism earlier in the week after he praised anti-Semitic leader Louis Farrakhan and spread conspiracy theories about Jewish people during an episode of his YouTube show. Cannon issued a non-apology in which he said he does not condone hate speech.
Fox Television and the producers of Cannon's upcoming daytime talk show have remained silent about his comments. Cannon hosts Fox’s The Masked Singer television show and is currently working on a daytime television show with Lionsgate's Debmar-Mercury group.
People today just cant seem to keep their mouths shut and their political or personal opinions to themselves, to the detriment of their employment. Humility is a virtue.
Soon to be a columnist for NYT no doubt.
Notice Viacom denounced him due to his remarks about anti semitism but not his remarks about white people which were way worse.
IF you can FIND the original podcast, listen to it, it’s horrifying.
I went through Army basic training in 1977 and heard these exact same comments from some guys in my company who were adherents of Louis FaraCON’s Nation of Islam.
They were happy to share, despite the skin color and cultural differences (they were black, I’m not) and I took no offense by it, it was fascinating in its fanciful/mythological/magical thinking.
Here it is almost fifty years later and I’m AMAZED that we had a president whose “spiritual guide and pastor” preached the same kind of vulgar hate speech directed against jews, “whites”.
Those two I spoke with way back when were as matter-of-fact in their presentation as Nick was in his podcast - of COURSE Jews came from pigs and monkeys and weren’t that far away from them in evolution; of COURSE white people are devils, minions of satan on earth; of COURSE black Africans had advanced culture, tools, cities, infrastructure which were ALL destroyed long ago by WHITE people, the history erased.
Al Sharpton once spoke of this, how ascendent was his culture long before “Socrates and Plato and all them greek homos.” (nearly verbatim, you can find the speech online).
[question I never asked and still have no satisfactory, sound, logical answer for was, if all that was true, how then did the primitive, ape/monkey/pig-like WHITE people conquer your continent so easily?]
I’m just surprised that so few people are aware that this is the poison that has been injected into our country for so long by FarraCON and HIS minions; his “true believers.”

The autobiography of Malcolm X has a lot of info about what the Nation of Islam teaches. At the time it was written, Malcolm had broken with NOI and was embarrassed to admit he once believed all that crap.
Since you are familiar with the podcast could you track it down for us and provide a link?
from another story about the same subject:
... he called white people ‘evil, rapists and savages’
If he had left it at that, he would have had praise heaped upon him and probably givien his own show on CNN or MSNBC.
Eagles receiver Desean Jackson is said to be the front-runner to replace him.

Don't worry, I'm sure those POS running YouTube for Google will get right on the demonetization and outright banning of the Islamofascist ****head from their servers. /sarc
It’s how American’s evil media works.
I’m still holding my breath and it hasn’t happened. I can’t breath. I can’t breath.
He would have kept his job if he stuck with bashing Whites or went after Christians.
When will the Fox TV network do the same and remove him as host of the Masked Singer?
I wander if he just would have said “white” people instead of also bringing in the Jewish part if he would have been okay.
I hate anti-semites, but I wonder if the person uttering these words was Mohamed, if they would have been fired.
That’s how I was taught to be a RACIST, BLACK people who spouted this same CRAP to me when I was in the Corps.
They always liked to brag about their huge plantations and their Mercedes back home, while trying to borrow 20 bucks for the bus ticked to go back and get it.
I heard parts of it on Glenn Beck’s program.
I think it may have been scrubbed from the web.
It’s why I asked
