Nick Cannon Should Not Be Cancelled

Yes, let's look to Nick Cannon for political discourse.
That is sarcasm, by the way.

Well, Nick and wide receiver DeSean Jackson had some pretty tough words when it came to the Jewish people and White skinned folks.
Essentially saying that the Black folk are the chosen ones and not the Jews and also that the pigment of your skin is what makes you a "savage." In Nick's terms, the less pigment you have, the more feral you are.
While true, if a White person had said this, he'd be strung up from the highest bell tower we can find. But it's Black Nick Cannon, who is probably mentally ill. But gets a platform because...he's a celebrity. Whatever the case...
...he should not be cancelled. Simply because America is about free speech. And he is perfectly fine to be saying these things. And there are PROBABLY less people who believe him than say...the same people who believe there's a comet in a few years that will wipe out civilization.
Do Black people believe him? Nah. I doubt they even care, because...honestly....we got so many more things we have to deal with than this. And we're all in the same boat. Pay our taxes, our rent/mortgage and food for our family. That's it. The rest of society seems to think we're about charging each other with anger. The point is, most EVERY American could care less. The ones doing the rioting/looting or protesting are such a tiny group that it's embarrassing that there is even any news of it. But press loves a great story to stir up hate and anger. Because it gets eyes on them. And that's where ad revenue comes in. Also we're bored. We're so bored we don't even realize our collective privilege. Everyone trying to come up with the next catchphrase such as calling White women who snitch on Blacks as "Karens." Pretty snazzy.

To me, canceling Nick only gives him large platform. None of which makes any sense, other than we are bored. People have become rabid with politics. This girl I'm presently seeing has that same focus. I have to remind her none of this is real. That we are all trying to survive and that her Leftist views just fan the flames of anger, resentment and doesn't solve the problem. Had she a resolution or any theories on how to course correct, then it has merit. As it is, it's just so many people throwing accusations at one another.
Nick shouldn't be cancelled but people should see who he really is. And obviously, people who subscribe to his message probably should be monitored as they do White Supremacist.
