Social Viacom terminates Nick Cannon over "anti-semitism"

[morgado388]

Thiat whit was so weird shortly after Drumline when he “came out with a song” that clearly he paid R Kelly to write, produce, perform and record.

People give Eddie Murphy shit about his album that it was just Rick James, but I think it’s just because James kind of took over the hair video. Eddie sang that those songs and I believe mos write them too even if Rick probably helped on the production and with the instrumentals.

Eddies last reggae album was alright(Please don't cancel me)

F Nick cannon and his weird wannabe hotep gimmick he has going. He knew wat r kelly was up to and still collabed with him.

Ugh. Instead of standing for free speech people have been drawn into playing the same stupid game. Ie someone gets fired for saying derogatory shit. ( that's bullshit freedom of speech etc etc)

Soon afterwards someone says something similar ( or worse. The point isn't what was said or who said it ) well x got fired he should be fired as well. Because a ( insert race/religion here) would have been fired as well for saying similar.

Everyone playing the same game when the original point was the game itself is wrong .

Sigh. It continues and gets worse.

I in no way condone racist or bigoted speech btw. But I'm not going to play the game.

Free speech isnt protected by private employers. It's all about money and image. Nick cannon is also extremely replaceable. The less replaceable you are the more you can get away with

The goalposts are moving from don't say anything to embarrass your employer while in an official capacity, to don't ever say anything publicly because people are sitting around like stalkers waiting for people to fuck up.

Proving once again, Jews are exempt from criticism. Media, Hollywood, music industry, US government and the central banks.

If Cannon has enough followers, I'm sure he'll find another platform and move on.

I'm not condoning whatever he was attempting to say, which was quite difficult to even make sense of.

Oh I agree, completely . But it's the same shakedown. Gives even more power to the big corporations and just continues the same general spiral. But hey that's my opinion, irrelevant as it is.

I mean it's any company though. A waiter at a no name restaurant would get fired for saying racist stuff to a customer.

Yes. Especially while your at work. I'm not saying I have any solutions to it but if a crime hasn't been committed ( hate speech maybe the crime tho but I'm still not convinced by that general law and haven't particularly looked into it. ) I see no need to take joy in it nor feel the need to come up with the well imagine if x said y.

I don't know just feels like more and more people are getting dragged into playing the game whilst they originally thought the game was wrong to start with.

Now your employer owns not just your actions at work but also your past and speech. I dunno. I get it tho. Don't say asshole things or be bigoted seems pretty simple to me I know but it feels more and more like a net getting tighter.

How long till it shifts slightly into well saying x about any situation turns into the demand complete silence on matters that really should be discussed. For instance the universities and such.

Sorry I can't really express my opinion well. I'll hAve a rethink a try figure out what I actually mean lol

 

[HappyCamper]

There's always been a rift between blacks and jews. Farrakhan was a big pusher of this

Well historically there were a lot of Jewish slaver traders and then there was the whole Motown thing.

But as usual that was less than 1% of a group doing something bad and then all of their ancestors getting blamed for it.

Which is a pretty big problem in our modern society that just about every group is facing.

 

[hillelslovak87]

Lol what a retard.

So this shit is actually common in the black community huh? This antisemetic black Hebrew nonsense? I thought it was just those insane fuckers on the street in NYC. "HEIL HITLER WHITE BOY.. DAS RITE!" Haha that video always makes me chuckle.

Yeah, it's a weird thing. I've met probably 3 or 4 black dudes who were on the black Israel stuff. That and the claims of Cherokee blood. People of all groups like to make that claim for some reason.

There was a black hebrew guy in Ellensburg around CWU that used to talk about black jesus and stuff like that on the corner while dancing. He could've just been a huge Jordan fan, though, and wanted to see those days come back.

Yeah, i don't know what the fuck Nick was saying with that shit, and he even tried to be careful saying it. lol

 

[ElKarlo]

I mean...

You can't say shit like that. People of color get far more leeway with casual racism, but crossing the line into something you would expect a neo nazi to say is a big yikes for me.

Yeah this was casual racism. It was overt and he was unapologetic about it. No white person would have as many as chances as he did. Not by a long shot.

 

[The ScorpioN]

lol Eminem never fucked Mariah, that cuck was making songs crying about how she made him jerk his dick off meanwhile Nick Cannon came through had her belly bulging with twins.

^cope

 

[genecop]

Isn’t he a comedian?

You know "free speech" prohibits governmental censorship right? It does not entitle people to freedom from consequences in the private sphere.

If I walk into your mother's funeral and utter "this smelly old cunt finally died? Is this open bar" you are allowed to come after me.

Or am I ok yelling "FREE SPEECH BITCHES" and crop dusting my way out?

 

[ocean size]

Will it ever fall out of fashion to grab three tweets as evidence of some kind of meaningful consensus of a point of view? Shit gets so old, its way worse than when they bring a stick mic to a political rally and interview a few morons to make them all look like hilarious dipshits.

I mean...

Yeah I reckon he's spent too much time in a bubble to think that was going to fly.

 

[bobgeese]

Apparently there was a hint...

 

[ocean size]

But who cares what Nick Cannon thinks. What Im seeing here is an effort, by the media, to conflate his rather bigoted comments about white people with his comments about black people being the true Hebrews. I see a concerted effort to stigmatize ideas and beliefs about black Hebrews & Israelites, black Jesus, illuminati conspiracy theories, ect as "anti-semitic". I wonder why.

No stigmatisation needed when they are telling you themselves they are anti-Semitic. You have to do olympic-level mental gymnastics to conclude its anything but ahistorical, pseudoscientific delusion.

 

[hiphopnazi]

I don't think his guest had any idea as well, it was actually funny!

Iol yeah I get your point. It's impossible to insult me but that might do it. Being Australian we have no constitutional right for " free speech " it's kind of just assumed so I can see it disappearing very quickly. That's why I'm quite interested in watching the shit show in the states at the moment. Which ever way it falls unfortunately will impact here quite a lot.

It's such a new thing ( internet and social media ) that it creates a lot of questions for me. For instance you walking into the funeral saying that id count as provocation and a hiding would be expected. So that would be actually covered in our laws. If you were saying that online? No biggie at all.

I don't know as I said. Got to give it more thought honestly.
