prevnext"may have been" antisemetic?! They WERE antisemetic and they were anti white. Why is it so hard to call it out? You want people to recognize mistreatment of blacks, but when they dish out the mistreatment, you turn a blind eye. Hypocrisy at its finest

Nick said nothing wrong just facts 🗣

prevnextI am a Jew and a black lives matter supporter as well! We are in the year 2020. There is no excuse to not fully educate yourself before you go on YouTube for the world to hear and go on an anti Semitic rant.

Desean Jackson? What did Drew Brees say that was racist? He may have said something that was inconsiderate of the times we r living in but he wasn’t being racist and I think that’s pretty clear! U can’t gather the same from Jackson or Nick Cannon!

prevnextStephen I've watched you for years on ESPN. You know what Nick Canon said and you know the context in which he said them. It's unfathomable that you wouldn't know 3 hours later let alone 3 days later. What's unconscionable is that you couldn't come out and denounce it flatly.

LETS GOOO!!! I like how “certain kinds of people” hate when you speak on things outside of Lebron dribbling a ball & yet you keep speaking on it. It’s necessary & should be addressed. You’re an inspiration to every young black professional around the globe Stephen A, thanks. ✊🏾

prevnext“May have been antisemitic, I don’t know” it’d be great if you could do some quick research before voicing your opinion on such a substantial platform, because it was very much so “antisemitic”.

That's not an excuse. He was anti-semitic and said "people without melanin are less"

prevnextIt’s not a long clip. The racism is not hidden under “dog whistles” or trigger warnings. It is blatant racism to say that people are less human because of the color of their skin. I’m sure you heard the clip, but hide behind saying you don’t know what he said.

People with that point of view literally see jewish people as less than human so no it WAS anto semitic, not “may have been”

prevnextI ♥️ what you said. If anyone knows anything about or who have followed Nick Cannon they know he is not a hateful guy. He apologized and he should be forgiven and Ge his jobs back and ownership of a show he created.

You ridiculed Stephen Jackson for his support of DeSean Jackson after his anti-Semitic comments, where’s the same energy SAS? Canon’s comments were anti-Semitic, and as much as we all love Dwayne, his support was wrong, just like Stephen Jackson. Can you please explain more??
