White folks are in no space to be crying wolf and bytching. Cannon is a comedian and this is clearly done out of satire whereas when they do it, Its to show extremist hatred for blacks. Case and point

Joshua Pabelick · Top Commenter · Works at Leman USA, Inc.Hmmm white guy does black face he's racist, is shown on tv as picking on the black man, black celebs make a big deal about it and people demonize him.

Nick Cannon does what is clearly a race bait photo with captions of "white" activities and "white privilege" and it's a joke? How is his (which is clearly race driven) ok but the other is not? Sorry i consider this to be racist just like a black person would consider it racist if i had black face on. Not to mention his comments on privilege and his listed "hobbies".

The Wayans Bros could pull a stunt like this and get away with it. Nick Cannon can't. Part of why the Wayans Bros pulled it off is because it had the context of an over the top comedy movie around it. That's why Chappelle and Robert Downey Jr were able to do it. Nick did this unprovoked and outside of a comedy setup like a TV show or movie. I don't think he's racist at all. hes trying to be funny but who does this stunt appeal to? the white people he wants to buy his album? i never in my life seen a negro cop or bump a Nick Cannon album.

there's an old saying. Never bite the hand that feeds you.

:mjlol:

its kind of funny with the ones saying "imagine if we did it" considering every year there's somebody doing it somewhere and you get the "its just a joke relax" response
when was the last time a white person in the mainstream media did this though? racist common man white people will do it on the drop of a dime but Nick should have realized his target demographic wasn't gonna appreciate his humor.

That's what I meant though.
I don't get why Nick Cannon did this considering his celebrity but that's him.
