Saying ANYTHING about Israel or jews in general you will get this treatment. Remember Congress was actually trying to pass laws that would punish anyone that spoke on or attempted to boycott Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians.

Nick Cannon is demanding an apology from ViacomCBS — as well as full ownership of the “billion-dollar” Wild ‘N Out brand — after being fired by the conglomerate for, as they put it, promoting “hateful speech” and “anti-Semitic conspiracy theories” on his podcast.
Cannon, who also hosts Fox’s Masked Singer, was let go by ViacomCBS on Tuesday, just days after an episode of the Cannon’s Class podcast went viral for alluding to several prominent anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Explaining the decision, a rep for ViacomCBS said in part, “We have spoken to Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast… which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him.”
Now, in a 1500-word Facebook statement titled “Truth and Reconciliation,” Cannon alleges that he did in fact try to apologize, and “went as far to reach out to [Viacom owner] Shari Redstone to have a conversation of reconciliation,” only to be met with “Dead Silence!” “That’s when I realized they don’t want a conversation or growth, they wanted to put the young negro in his place,” he says. “They wanted to show me who is boss, hang me out to dry and make an example of anyone who says something they don’t agree with.” (A ViacomCBS spokesperson told our sister site Variety, “It is absolutely untrue that Nick Cannon reached out to [Redstone].”)
Cannon’s Facebook posting also recounts his decades-long partnership with Viacom, which began at Nickelodeon as a writer and cast member on All That and eventually led to the 2005 creation of the long-running hip-hop improv show Wild ‘N Out, “an idea which I self-financed out my own pocket and presented to MTV.” After creating a “billion-dollar brand that expanded across a multitiered empire,” Cannon claims that “my ownership of [Wild ‘N Out] was swindled away from me.”
Cannon eventually calls for an apology and “full ownership” of the Wild ‘N Out franchise.
“I demand full ownership of my billion dollar Wild ‘N Out brand that I created, and they will continue to misuse and destroy without my leadership!” he says. “I demand that the hate and back door bullying cease and while we are at it, now that the truth is out, I demand the Apology!”
Read his full statement below:
The fact that he tried to apologize tells me he forgot his role....everybody has a role in the struggle (number one rule, if you can't help, don't hurt)...you either a revolutionary or a dude making money in the system who helps out revolutionaries....Nick supposed to be giving money on the low to the dude who says what Nick said...Nick aint supposed to be saying it for public consumption if he still wants to be making money with those folks...if Nick gonna say those things he has to know that he is joining the fuck the system crew...thats cool but that crew doesn't get money from the system.
Bingo!!!? Pope Gooch approves this message.
Yet even he got kicked from American Idol. The Network makes the rules.
It seems he just exercised the buyout option in his contract but before recent he didn't have full control either. Nick Canon may have the same buyout/buy back option in his contract. We'll see...
Who's ever won a lawsuit over making "antisemitic" comments?
You're the one who used Cowel as a example, the point is it doesnt matter who owns the program, the network makes the shots and if they want you out there is nothing you can do about it.
Yes that was a fucked up comment but he didn't get fired for that. He got fired for making antisemitic comments.I stand corrected. Yeah that is enough to get you fired.
Its a wrap Nick, fucking around with Grif
plenty of black men over the years have full control of their show from don cornelius to gil noble to tony brown
It's his religion. I don't agree with it because I love me some Jewish yams.
I stand corrected. Yeah that is enough to get you fired.
Its a wrap Nick, fucking around with Grif
