FILE - In this Dec. 10, 2018, file photo Nick Cannon poses for a portrait in New York. Cannon's “hateful speech” and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories led ViacomCBS to cut ties with the performer, the media giant said. “ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism," the company said in a statement Tuesday, July 14, 2020. It is terminating its relationship with Cannon, ViacomCBS said.
“ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. It is terminating its relationship with Cannon, ViacomCBS said. Cannon produced “Wild ’n Out,” a comedy improv series for VH1, a ViacomCBS-owned cable channel. He’s been a regular part of TV shows unconnected to the company, including as the former host of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and host of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.”
Cannon then segues into a discussion of skin color — “And I’m going to say this carefully,” he begins — to allege that people who lack sufficient melanin are “a little less.”
It’s difficult to go against power, there are alway losses. But being true is being you👊🏾💪🏾
Someone needs to cut those ugggly shades off🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those jewish people are romans who spew hate all over the world with their secret dealings. Stop the non sense
Who? Is he a porn star?
KProtein19 So freedom of speech except for theories?
All these people are like “I don’t think he meant it that way.” The hypocrisy is real.
Blacks are the worse kind of racists. BlackLivesCancel
Hey MaskedSingerFOX is it okay that your hosted an AntiSemitic podcast? Does anyone foxnewsdesk FOXTV think that AntiSemitism should be spread by Fox Employees? At least ViacomCBS took a stand against hatred. And you should use their example
You cannot punish him.. the scholars know the truth! They called it theory or ideology., however scholars have researched and proved the truth.. So we are dealing with those who can’t prove otherwise.. as I said earlier! Boycott and Leave Viacom every minority on the planet!!!

You can't offend the Jews and you can't offend the gays Not if you want a Hollywood career
Just how pervasive is this loony toons theory in the Black community? A lot of the goodwill built up during this BLM moment will be lost if this continues.
Well done Viacom on getting rid of ignorant BUFFOON 🤡.
Well done viacom holding celebraties to the same standards as the rest of us its about time. Regardless of skin color All peoppe cane be hatful and being opressed by one hate group does not absolve you of being hatful towards another a great day in America 4 justice and equality.
I am really waiting to hear what Cannon said that's so offensive. Just waiting. Are we going to pretend Jews do not weild immense power in film and music and has indeed done things being accused of? Aren't they perpetuating oppression over blacks? FOH!
where’s the anti semitism
No matter who you are or what position you hold think before you speak, choose your words wisely, remembering you are human, subject to & have errors & consequences do follow. Forgiveness is still needed across the board, not many desire to do so, stop self destruction.
Which of the Abrahamic traditions refer to black people as 'other' and also as the 'children of cain?' Who are the 'children of cain' in the death cult hand book? Blood for the bloodgod...amirite.
Why are you not focused on the crap the President & family is saying and doing? NepotismBarbie bleachgate
Cue the black people saying it’s racist to fire Nick Cannon who made anti Semitic comments about the Jewish community
I don’t condone hateful speech, but in the United States we are guaranteed freedom of speech whether we like what one is saying or not. This business of anyone losing their jobs over what he or she says is cancel culture at its worst. Cancel culture needs to go!
Nick Cannon says white people are 'a little less,' 'closer to animals,' 'the true savages,' 'acting out of a deficiency so the only way they can act is evil.' When does he get canceled?
Racism sucks
All the folks in this thread crying about Cannon’s free speech but wouldn’t hesitate to destroy someone’s life for saying The Word That Cannot Be Spoken By Whitey.
It's not just the podcast, it was his explanation afterward.
DEFENDTHEPOLICE DEMOCRATS are the most racist FAKENEWS IS COMMUNISM FFFF THESE racists
Why is hateful speech in quotations?
Ma boi ain't speak nothing but the truth
Transcript of Nick Cannon's podcast that got him fired:
Racism is racism!! Whether it's coming out of the mouth of a black or white person. This statement by Cannon however went several levels higher than even the most racist shit I've seen. Because it is speaking about the entire race as a whole. '______ people are animals!!”
so its only antisemitic hate speech all those white non jews rightly deserve his comments yes?
Ain’t that some sh*t? I am baffled that this hasn’t caused more of an uproar. You know who else shared Nick Cannon’s view ... that skin dictates natural superiority and ‘the grand design’? Hint, he had a narrow mustache and was responsible for the murder of millions of Jews.
It would be better to explain to him why his views are wrong and learn where his views come from, but of course, cancel culture ends up deciding.
racist being a racist
He's annoying as h$ll and NOT funny. Good riddance.
Did you perform even 1 ounce of journalism? Nick Cannon was speaking facts.
Racism Has No Boundaries.
This guy's comments are textbook racism
Whole lot of people on here justifying racism. Most were just out protesting against it too. Things that make you go 'hhmmmm....'🤔
But... he didn’t lie... lol
It just proves he's right. The black community will be boycotting all that VH1 trash that humiliates the black community on a regular basis.!!!
I must have missed the one where Tucker said that one race is born deficient and evil bc of the lack of melanin in their skin?! Who says that? Straight up racist. Anyway you look at it.
Keep in mind nick cannon is being canceled from TELEVISION for calling whites and jews savages yet Steve King is STILL in Congress after saying “how is WHITE SUPREMACY offensive”. That man can ask what’s wrong with white supremacy and remain a govt employee ? Pretty savage to me
Now FOX and Masked singer sure to follow i would assume
His firing brought out all the racists.
Too bad. We do have a first amendment. I do not like what he said BUT he is allowed to say what he thinks.
Boycott VIACOM
He spoke the truth. Just as in Nazi Germany those that speak the truth are silenced.
BreonnaTaylor killers are still free
Wild n' not gonna work here anymore
The Jewish community has ALWAYS aligned with the black community to exploit financial opportunity but never to support growth or actual meaningful connections between are ethnicities.. It’s strictly business on their end and that’s facts, we are the dummies that believe in allies
Good! His comments about white ppl was also bigoted and racist.
Viacom is irrelevant these days.
Everything is anti Semitic that’s what people are upset about. People tell us everyday get over slavery it didn’t happen to us or go back to Africa a lot of them JEWISH themselves... But let someone say get over the Holocaust or go back somewhere else and their canceled foh
he could have just be fired for being 'talentless' too
Semites are arabs, muslims and jews. Not only jews
Sad to see antisemitism in other marginalized communities.
It’s a shame! Want respect, but can’t give it themselves!
Nowadays speech is only free if the majority agrees.
Idiot
These are the rules democrats made. You made the bed, now sleep in it!!
Anti- White hateful speech.
Act 14 - The Cannon Interview: JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR: ♫Have you seen this / heard this? You ever see somebody ruin their own life?♫ You go, boy! NickCannon sporting the mini-Cam Newton look, spitting Huey Newton rhetoric!
BuT fReEdOm oF sPeEcH
He’s always been a “Loose” Cannon!
I mean I don’t think Nick Canon is racist or funny. But like Farheken he just wants to empower black people and maybe that blinded him to some things he said. I’m sure if he sat down with someone who challenged his ideas in an intelligent way, a good conversation could be had.
finish high school
What he said was bad. What he and the people he knows say in private is probably much worse.
Anti white you mean. I guess that doesn't get the clicks though.
The problem with speaking truth to power is the fact that those in power lose their power because the truth sets slaves to their power free.😘 Instead of firing people for ideological positions, prove that their positions wrong. if you can't debunk it, then accept it🤷♂️
I'm sure Don Lemon could take him on as a producer until he lands on his feet.
Good he is so yesterday.
be on the lookout for a staged 'hate crime' against Nick. he needs to turn himself into a victim because he's not mature enough to accept responsibility for what he said
Excellent!
if this hack can make millions and live in a mansion, life must not be too bad in the old U.S. of A.
Don't forget that crap he said about whites. It's as though the media supports some racism depending on the target. We won't put up with that BS either!
B.E.T. is racist that's why I don't like it.
In a positive development for Nick Cannon, he has reportedly received a job offer from the New York Times to serve as their Opinion Page Editor. BariWeiss
Indeed
Good!
Of all of Farrakhan's teachings he forgot the most important one.
bet money they wont do this shit across the board...
Hallelujah! Small steps toward justice! Wakeup America!
Will Disney MaskedSingerFOX follow suit?
Truth hurts it seems
He'll get a job at fox News
Drop VIACOM
BET, OWN, FX, TNT, and a few more!! Pick our brother up!! Additionally I knew when he made the Dr.Sebi program they would do this!!
And MaskedSingerFOX has yet to fire his turban & gold shoes wearing ass. They better to do it today. Where is kenjeong, robinthicke, JennyMcCarthy, NicoleScherzy? Quit the show if NickCannon doesn't get fired from MaskedSingerFOX
Racist* comments
Can’t speak truth and can’t mention Jews. Got it!🤦🏿♂️🙄
The jewish community moves swiftly in the face of criticism and perceived hate speech...what would happen if the Black community moved this way?
The anti cancel culture crew are gonna be irate about this one Meanwhile
KingdonNeely
Honestly, good.
He done fucked up
Why do black ppl do this to themselves
For telling a truth that intelligence whites already know to be true.
UnMasked
In NickCannon's defense, he was talking about slave masters. In this case he isn't wrong. His wording is controversial, something we all do using broad strokes when talking about groups. He should have been more specific and said slave masters or owners instead of White People.

white people don't like when you put the mirror of their heritage in their face
😂🤣🤷🏾♀️🤣🤷🏾♀️🤣😂🤣
He's nobody. Just another old racist no one listens to.
