Nick Cannon is being canceled on Twitter because his comments on race, which included calling white people “closer to animals” and “barbaric.”
Nick Cannon is in the process being canceled (again) because recent comments he made about race. On his show, the comedian was speaking about the “power melanated people,” making some choic statements about those who lack pigmentation in their skin.
“Our melanin is so powerful and it connects us in a way that the reason why white people] fear us is because the lack that they have it,” said Cannon. “When you have a person that has the lack pigment, the lack melanin, they know that they will be annihilated. So, therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack compassion — melanin comes with compassion, melanin comes with soul.”

He went on to approach the topic carefully but, apparently, he wasn’t as careful as people would have liked.
“The people that don’t have melanin] are a little less. They may not have had the compassion when they were sent to the mountains Caucasus when they didn’t have the power the sun. The sun then started to deteriorate them so then, they’re acting out fear, they’re acting out low self-esteem, they’re acting out a deficiency. So, therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive. So then, these people that didn’t have what we have — and when I say we, I speak the melanated people — they had to be savages. They had to be barbaric because they’re in these Nordic mountains. They’re acting as animals so they’re the ones that are actually closer to animals. They’re the ones that are actually the true savages.”
Needless to say, there are a lot people angry with his comments.
