'He's gone full black supremacist': Actor Nick Cannon blasted for saying white people are a 'little less' and 'closer to animals'

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."

"The police is no different from the KKK".

The true face of the organised Black Lives Matter movement reared its head during a protest in London this past weekend, as a protest leader called for an end to capitalism, and the creation of a "black militia" to foment a revolution.

In video obtained by Breitbart News, protesters are seen in marxist paramilitary garb, complete with berets, with the ringleader barking proclamations about how racism "thrives on capitalism".

Amid chants of "take it to the streets... fuck the police" and "no justice, no peace", the activist claimed that "The police is no different from the KKK. They stand around and protect statues and buildings instead of people."

In a further bizarre declaration the woman also decreed that "They need to join the local council and litter pick too."

France's national holiday has been marred by scuffles between police and protesters, as thousands of people took to the streets of Paris to demonstrate against public health support measures they deemed insufficient.

Streets in the center of the French capital once again descended into chaos as police officers in riot gear clashed with groups of angry protesters while France was celebrating Bastille Day.

Videos posted on social media showed officers wearing helmets and body armor using tear gas and pepper-spraying crowds in a tense standoff. The protesters were seen throwing various objects at the police.

UK professor's baseless claims that 'second wave of coronavirus could kill 120,000' this winter

social distancing
Britain faces a potentially more deadly second wave of COVID-19 in the coming winter that could kill up to 120,000 people over nine months in a worst-case scenario, health experts said on Tuesday.

With COVID-19 more likely to spread in winter as people spend more time together in enclosed spaces, a second wave of the pandemic "could be more serious than the one we've just been through," said Stephen Holgate, a professor and co-lead author of a report by Britain's Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS).

"This is not a prediction, but it is a possibility," Holgate told an online briefing. "Deaths could be higher with a new wave of COVID-19 this winter, but the risk of this happening could be reduced if we take action immediately."

Businesses shutdown with thousands of jobs lost as lockdown wipes out England's high street shopping

Shoppers in Oxford Street, London, where footfall has remained 81% lower in June than the previous year.
Shoppers were allowed to return to the high street in June as stores began to reopen in England and Northern Ireland, but figures show that few chose to do so. Retail footfall collapsed by 65% compared with the same month last year, according to research by data company Springboard.

The latest figures are an improvement on the 73% year-on-year decline in May, but highlight the challenges facing retailers and hospitality companies as they try to encourage worried customers to return as the coronavirus lockdown eases. At the same time online shopping has soared, as consumers browse and order from the comfort and safety of their home.


Comment: Obviously online shopping went up, but it's unlikely it compensated the economic losses caused by the lockdown, this will become even more apparent as the delayed effects begin to bite.


Retailers have cut thousands of jobs in response to the drop in high street, mall and retail park shopping. Last week, John Lewis and Boots cut 5,300 jobs in total and announced permanent store closures.

Language as Weapon: The woke mob tries to redefine racism to hide its own bigotry

In their quest to change Western culture, Black Lives Matter and 'Woke Twitter' are redefining racism to weaponize the charge against anyone they choose. It's a dishonest tactic that lets them get away with their own bigotry.

Racism is an evil thing. People who are branded with that title are given a massive scarlet letter, and are generally cast out of civil society. Rightfully so, as no one wants to interact with someone who is so malicious towards someone else's skin color. Individuals like Jared Taylor or Richard Spencer are not tolerated (unless they're commentating for CNN I suppose).

One of the above words needs to be stressed: it's 'malicious'. As it has been understood for as far as I can remember, racism requires malice. This is why the term 'hate group' was first coined. Groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Brotherhood, or other white nationalists or white supremacists are considered 'hateful' because that is their modus operandi. They outright despise anyone who isn't like they are.

Booze ban South Africa: rule by diktat

With a wave of his presidential hand, the command was given: alcohol sales will once again be banned, with immediate effect. Minutes later, the new regulations were gazetted and came into force. South Africans now live in a dictatorship.

'Dictatorship is a form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations,' says the Encyclopædia Britannica. 'The term dictatorship comes from the Latin title dictator, which in the Roman Republic designated a temporary magistrate who was granted extraordinary powers in order to deal with state crises.'

This perfectly describes President Cyril Ramaphosa and the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC), chaired by minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a long-awaited law streamlining the process for foreigners to obtain Russian citizenship. The world's largest country hopes to attract up to 10 million migrants by 2025.

According to the new rules, it is now much more straightforward for certain types of foreigners to become Russian.

Foreign citizens who have a Russian parent, are married to a Russian, or have a child with a Russian citizen, can now quickly obtain a passport themselves. The acquisition of Russian nationality has also been streamlined for foreigners who reside permanently in the country.

The NBA is once again being accused of bowing to China, after a viral video revealed its website does not allow custom jerseys with the phrase "Free Hong Kong," but has no problem with plenty of other disruptive messages.

"The NBA bans you, the fan, from putting #freehongkong on customized league jerseys even as they allow players to wear customized jerseys," journalist Clay Travis tweeted on Sunday.

Travis Included a video actually showing the merchandising section of the website rejecting the phrase. Numerous people took to social media to give other firsthand accounts of the site not allowing the message.

Question

Kanye Derangement Syndrome: Chance The Rapper asks why Biden would be better than Yeezy. The left goes crazy!

Chance the Rapper triggered liberals by asking: Why would Biden make a better president than Kanye West? It's a legitimate question, but the vitriolic response suggests honest debate has fallen victim to cancel culture, too.

Since Kanye West announced his intention to run for president, numerous theories have been thrown out by talking heads in an effort to make sense of just one more crazy headline in the insanity that is 2020.

Is he running to split the vote and help President Donald Trump against Biden, the presumptive presidential nominee for the Democratic Party? Or is he simply trolling and building his brand?

Nobody really knows, but considering the fact that West has gone from a MAGA-hat wearing Trump supporter to wanting his own political party called the Birthday Party, there is little chance we will be seeing a serious three-way race between the rapper, the president, and Biden.

Comment: And...Chance got scorched! The bulk of the comments came from the never-Trump #Resistance, reminding West he hadn't even filed FEC papers yet:
