TV host Nick Cannon is facing accusations of antisemitism and racism following a bizarre and now-viral interview in which he claims white people are "a little less" and black people are who Jewish people "want to be."
During the discussion with former Public Enemy member Richard Griffin (who left the group after saying the "Jews are wicked" in a 1989 interview), Cannon, who hosts the 'Masked Singer,' claimed it is impossible for him to be antisemitic.
"It's never hate speech, you can't be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people," he said. "When we are the same people who they want to be. That's our birthright." He later insisted again that he is not promoting "hate speech."
Cannon and Griffin also spoke about various conspiracy theories regarding Jewish power in the global banking industry and there was even praise for Louis Farrakhan, a political activist and preacher with a long history of statements deemed anti-Semitic.
Raising even more eyebrows on social media were Cannon's words about white people.A clip from the interview shows Cannon discussing how white people are "a little less" and "closer to animals" due to the pigment of their skin."When you have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, they know that they will be annihilated, so therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion," he said, going on to theorize that "melanin" — which is the dark pigmentation of skin, hair, or even eyes — gives non-white people more "compassion" and "soul.""The people that don't have [melanin] are — I'm going to say this carefully — a little less," he continued.White people, according to Cannon, do not have the "power of the sun" and are acting out of a "deficiency" in their "fear" of black people.
Cannon has earned plenty of critics thanks to the resurfaced interview — which was originally released last summer, but reposted to Cannon's YouTube page on June 30 — with him being blasted online as a "black supremacist."
"Make no mistake, if a white entertainer said s**t like this, they'd be gone," one user tweeted.
Conservative pundit Mike Cernovich found the interview so ridiculous it was "funny" and he doesn't want to see the rapper "cancelled."
Cannon responded to the outrage in an interview with Fast Company, claiming he wants to be "corrected" if he is wrong, but he refuses to apologize."You can say sorry in as many different languages as you want to, and it means nothing," he said.
As for his praise of Farrakhan, Cannon says he refuses to be held responsible for everything the religious leader said and can only take responsibility for his own words.
"I can't be responsible for however long Minister Farrakhan has been ministering and things that he said," the rapper said. "That is his voice and his fight. I can only be held accountable for what I've seen and what I've heard."

modern man arose on the large Eurasian plain bordered by the Levant in the south, eastern Europe on the west, and Russia in the east. Some of those individuals went to central Africa from a coastal migration about 60k years ago, and interbred with the much older DNA stock there, but the line between blacks and whites actually separated 160k years ago. And starting 60k years ago, the lines that became the Europeans and Asians and all non-African groups became highly differentiated.

Forgive me, but I have a difficult time appreciating - "It was found that African haplogroup A (originated 132,000 ± 12,000 years before present) is very remote time-wise from all other haplogroups, which have a separate common ancestor, named β-haplogroup, and originated 64,000 ± 6000 ybp." from your link. How can descendants be older than their ancestors? Please help me understand.
BTW - there is a book entitled, Ethiopia is Atlantis!, located at mycvp.com. Maybe some are some established bits of history that people will discover instructive.

We can pursue the line of ole talk, or provide the evidence to support what we are saying.

Browse the book until you find the photo of indigenous Moroccans.
Check the photo. See how many of them are white.
After which, you can get any copy of ancient history. Learn the originators of the Moroccans.
There were no white people around, at that time, since they exited their cave approximately 3,500 years ago.!

Take a look at reality today!!!
Over 50% of homicides in the US are commited by black men, usually the victim is another black man. Although black men make up about 6% or 7% of the population. That proves him wrong.
Who gave the world electricity, computers, phones, automobiles, planes, trains etc, etc, etc? Something this guy uses every day while saying the bullsh*t he does. Why not give it up then? That proves him wrong.
To suggest that white people are little less than animals, but then claim said group have oppressed the black community for years proves him wrong. Duh!
That societies constructed by white people, like Europeans, North American etc, are the most free (although far from perfect) and egalitarian proves him wrong.
To be ignorant as he is, and that some people are pulling his strings for a reason he doesn't yet suspect proves him wrong, which brings me to this point:
To be totally ignorant of the nature of pathocrats, characteopaths and psychopaths proves him wrong.
This guy proves him wrong....[Link]
Like Dr Martin Luther King said, it is the content of your character that counts, not the colour of your skin. That is shallow, is identity politics, which never ends well. The same interest groups that supported the nazis, eugenics etc, are supporting BLM. That proves him wrong.
Not too bright, is he?
That proves him wrong.

The whole soul thing is off, but it reminds me of "Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts," where they tried to give all sorts of convoluted, manufactured explanations about what souls are, to try to suck you in with some high-sounding metaphysics. Soul, spirit, consciousness, I can never remember the difference. Each animal, for example, has its own awareness, but it learns on the level of a group or learns to individuate or what?

That's what you might call the polarisation trap.
It's my contention that a disproportionate amount of the notables who are, or who have been overly pushy for racial conflict are 'not very black', 'barely black', 'more-or-less wiggers', etc,

Explicitly state your reference which would disprove Nick Canon’s statement(s). By explicit I mean, page number, name of author, name of book, as was explicitly done in my new and free book, Ethiopia is Atlantis!
Maybe that will help you all to present valid arguments, instead of dribbling your spittle all over the site.
Until then, put up, or STFU!
Shalom!
You disprove Houston Stewart Chamberlain's statements in "Die Grundlagen des neunzehnten Jahrunderts" (The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century) first.
Until then, stay in your world.
This whole race conversation is for children who watch MTV.
The fact that there isn't a picture of him on there makes me wonder if he'd pass an 'am-I-black-enough-for-you?' acid test.
In difference to the official line, there is such a thing as black supremacy / racism, and he is quite a good example of it.
I think his and Nick Cannon's diatribes are at the same level as H.S. Chamberlain's book I mentioned.
I only know the fantasy version of him in Trevor Ravenscroft's 'The Spear of Destiny', in which he was chased around everywhere by demons.
