Nick Cannon Sparks Backlash For Citing Incomplete History About Political Parties

[0:00] you up there with the the elite now not even close not even close democrats don't care about black [0:05] people and they don't know people they don't care about people of color and the republicans do and [0:12] that's the misconception i and you know what i agree with you 100 people don't know that the [0:16] democrats are the party of the kkk yeah people don't know that the republicans are the party [0:22] that freed the slaves yeah uh i mean both of you and i have some conservative views uh you just a [0:29] little bit more outspoken about it than i am and i honestly i don't subscribe to neither party i i [0:34] rock with w.e.b du bois when he said there's no such thing as two parties it's just one evil party [0:41] with two different names voted for donald trump because he's we had two options and he was [0:46] definitely by far the better option for us house um yeah we got the gulf of america now [0:54] charging uh he's like the club you're charging a five million dollar uh [0:59] bottle service fee to get into the country i know listen okay let's discuss so much to unpack here [1:06] uh first off democrats don't care about black people and they don't care about people of color [1:12] and the republicans do and that's the misconception that's what nick said he agreed with 100 [1:18] when amber rose said it let's stop there for a second okay because my question to both amber [1:22] and nick would be what have republicans done to show that they care about people of color now i'm [1:29] saying republicans freed the slaves we'll get to that part shortly because my retort to that would [1:34] be in the words of the immortal janet jackson what have you done for me lately okay amber and nick [1:39] have you heard of disparate impact all right that's the legal standard used to challenge [1:44] policies that aren't explicitly racist but still harm certain groups more than others [1:49] okay the trump administration has limited or stopped altogether enforcing that standard [1:54] okay that's important to know because disparate impact has been used to fight housing [1:59] hiring lending and education discrimination okay when you roll that back you have fewer tools to [2:05] challenge systemic inequality and that disproportionately hurts black people [2:11] okay trump also ordered federal agencies to eliminate dei roles and initiatives he also [2:17] expanded that to federal contractors and private sector influence he literally reversed policies [2:23] meant to address racial inequities okay now listen i'm on the record that i didn't like a lot of the [2:29] ei but there were dei programs designed by black people that addressed historic disparities in [2:35] hiring education and funding when you get rid of those it reduces opportunities for black workers [2:40] and students so explain to me how that shows republicans care about people of color okay [2:46] especially in 2026 we don't even got to get into the cuts and changes to social safety net programs [2:52] i mean medicaid snap affordable care act support all of that has been reduced man and black people [2:59] are statistically more likely to rely on those programs due to wealth and income gaps i can go [3:04] on and on about why republicans don't care about people of color especially especially this [3:08] administration okay they literally limited how race and racism are taught in schools [3:13] okay they are removing or altering content related to black history so miss me with the [3:19] republicans care about people of color that just doesn't even make any sense [3:23] in 2026. now let's get into the second part of what nick said people don't know that the democrats and [3:29] the kkk yeah people don't know that the republicans are the party that freed the slaves yeah okay [3:36] okay listen this statement nick made is correct historically correct republicans did free the [3:44] slaves but the republican and democratic parties of the 1800s are not the same coalitions we have [3:52] today i am a dallas cowboy fan okay my dallas cowboys won three super bowls in the 90s look at us [4:01] same name but a completely different roster different coaches different play styles so we [4:06] might be the same brand okay but we're not the same team saying republicans freed the slaves [4:13] is historically true but using that to describe modern republicans without context is misleading [4:21] nick yes republicans were largely anti-slavery and based in the north democrats included [4:26] you know a lot of pro-slavery factions and they were in the south but that was in the [4:31] 1800s okay my god over the last century the parties have shifted ideologically okay and [4:38] geographically republicans of the 1860s did lead the charge to end slavery but those republicans [4:43] are not politically identical to modern republicans okay nick said democrats were the [4:48] party of the kkk once again he's historically not wrong members of the kkk were aligned [4:56] with the democratic party of that era key words that era [5:01] okay but that reflects the political alignment of that specific error not today's party all right [5:07] who is the party of the kkk right now that's the question i would ask nick okay listen nick [5:12] you can't claim credit from 1865 like nothing has changed in 150 years okay my guy nick also [5:19] contradicted himself i honestly i don't subscribe to neither party i i rock with [5:24] w.e.b the voice when he said there's no such thing as two parties it's just one evil party with two [5:31] different names yeah nick you can't say i don't subscribe to either political party and then quote [5:38] w.e.b the boys saying one evil party with two different names but then turn around and say i [5:43] f with trump that makes no logical sense listen man context will always matter okay we truly live [5:52] in a world without context and without context these statements nick made are misleading about [5:57] how u.s politics evolved okay and just like a a recipe can you tell me what you're talking about [6:02] not produce a meal without ingredients a quote without context cannot
