Viacom Ends Decades Long Relationship With Nick Cannon Because “White People Are Evil”

[HankHill]

I should reiterate

Also I think some of yall may have read that sentence wrong and think I said our ppl go to him "at all times" when what I said was "at all at times" meaning I find it sad that ppl go to him at all and that at certain times our ppl do pay that ***** any mind.

But if y'all read it as I intended it please tell me exactly whats wrong with it.

This is anecdotal, but I usually only see/hear him referenced by celebs, media personality's, etc. Granted most people in my circle don't have a frame of reference for NOI outside of Malcolm X and people handing out flyers on the street. A handful of my friends are Muslim from African countries so they definitely don't pay NOI any mind.

You've got the system of white supremacy telling Black people that we are ugly, stupid and lazy, and the only reason white people and their model minority can get away with it, is because Black people do not know our own history. So here you have this cat Farrakhan, one who learned under Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, one who has his own Black security that is lauded as being one of the best, sounding like a free, unafraid Black man. Of course an oppressed people are going to be attracted to it.

We ain't a monolith. Every man has to leader. It's what we were born to do. Many in the nation and the community at large believe leading your family is the greatest thing you can do. I agree with that whole-heartedly.

The inherent problem for many of us is what do we do when we disgree with another black man's core ideology or methodology like Farrakhan? Willie Lynch has done a number. We can't cancel other black men because they argue, disagree with the majority, say **** they feel off the cuff, etc. As stated earlier we have to get on code at some ****ing point. Why can't we take little bits and pieces from everyone and keep it movin? As long as their ain't any shuckin and jiving, I can rock with you.

Polarizing figures due to their strong opinions (which every man should have). I don't agree with any of them 100% on anything, but their is a wealth of knowledge on various aspects of history, economic empowerment, combat, educational system, etc. I ain't finna just discount all that because ****** like to take shots or be petty from time to time. Nor do I think we can necessarily afford to cancel each other right now.

"The inherent problem for many of us is what do we do when we disgree with another black man's core ideology or methodology like Farrakhan?"
I'm unaware of Louis's core beliefs, but u can't seriously believe ppl are gonna or supposed to gel when the have differing core beliefs & methods do u? That's just simply being incompatible.

Side note, is this true? Did Nick backtrack on his comments?

Yep homie apologized

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Gel maybe, maybe not. Co-exist and respect different views yes. As I said, no shuckin and jivin. As long as your talking black empowerment, everything else is extra.

Getting on code supersedes everything.




DWade coppin pleas now too.

 

[vood99]

Yep homie apologized

Damn shame gentrification , it's a pity that a certain demographic has no issues with their platforms used to spread negativity about all other demographics but the minute you try to say something about them they will 'silence' you.

I think we're too comfortable having certain conversation "outdoors" now anyways. Give up too much of our essence for free on social media.

People always confuse charismatic speech with leadership.

this is why we do not need central leadership. That is a marked man. We need multiple cells and units of like minded people within our areas with somewhat common goals who can continue gathering others. Once we build locally with people we TRUST we can take off statewide. Then nationally eventually. There is too much healing in our communities and in this country to be done on a local level to be looking for a national level savior.

Farrakhan does his thing and I appreciate a lot of it, but I would never call him my leader under any circumstances period. I can’t think of any of these prominent dudes I would call my leader.

The whole leader thing isn't necessary to me, and an outdated concept. Proper education is fine start in the right direction, people can't and just don't indulge themselves in learning.

Of course naturally certain individuals will have more pull than other, but the whole leader thing... If you want that vote em into your local governments, support their campaigns, talk with them. The how whole leader thing in the context that it tends to be used in in regards to "black leaders" is lingering slave residue & or laziness.

Well you know he can do anything he wants technically I'm sure he has enough money. But it would've all gone to **** probably if he didnt.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Goofy to you.......

and either way quoting or agreeing with particular things from a person does not mean that you wholeheartedly have to believe & follow everything that person says, NT seems to have a very difficult time with that concept tho.

PEOPLE in general have a hard time understanding that concept.

Baby, Bathwater. It is a saying for a reason.

Been my thought process for a while now. Too much company around. Wait until they go to sleep or something.

He folded, smmfh.

 

[nawghtyhare]

He folded, smmfh.

cant criticize his decision
if we aint walked in his shoes
i guarantee
there were other things in play
to why he had to apologize
remember he got kids
and his ex wife in the industry

 

[Master Zik]

Yeah, yall dont know the actual pressure he was under.

Mariah probably had to make a call.

 

[6pac]

in this thread alone we got people with black and brown skin likely already turning on him within the first ten posts.

our people ain’t ready to really be our own backbone and that man got kids. Looking at the twitter replies of white folks clowning blacks who thought we’d be able to pull off a Viacom boycott is depressing bc they know it ain’t no real unity there.

Wonder who gon be the first to be bold and use this situation in a Wildstyle though

yeah he has a lot to lose and Mariah has leverage. A real dude gonna stand up tho no matter what pressure they put on him. I can’t respect it.

 

[Master Zik]

I wouldn't say anybody turned on him.

Plenty ppl already thought Nick is ******* corny and don't **** with him on one level but given the seriousness of the topic wasn't like they was writing him off.

Then the ppl who actually saw what he said that took it as antisemitism.

 

[6pac]

how we gon say we disappointed in him when realistically our people wasn’t ready to stop ******* with Viacom and we were arguing amongst ourselves about whether or not he was right or wrong

if I was him looking at how shaky “we” were acting...dude just ain’t finna be no crash dummy.

Plenty ppl already thought Nick is ****ing corny and don't **** with him on one level but given the seriousness of the topic wasn't like they was writing him off.

the Nick is corny **** is played to me

what does dude actually do to be considered that

I rarely hear about bruh outside of him having shows and interviews

I could maybe see it a decade ago

nah i dont think mariah would use it against him
im saying folks would use it against her
and again hollyweird is a wild place
