For those keeping score at home: Racism is BAD! (Unless it's against white people. Then it's apparently A-OK.)
· Jul 16, 2020 · NottheBee.com

So Fox has announced that it will not fire Nick Cannon from his gig as host of "The Masked Singer" for his recent racist rant.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, Nick Cannon said that he believes black people are more evolved than white people. He believes white people are less human than black people.

"A little less," he said. "Closer to animals." "The true savages."

So, Nick thinks that white people are subhuman savages. And he felt very comfortable saying so. And he's not losing his job at Fox for saying so. Got it?

Say another TV host, oh, say Ryan Seacrest, went on his podcast and confidently said these words:

"People who have more melanin, they don't have compassion. People who have more melanin are — and I'm going to say this carefully — are a little less.

When they were sent to the jungles of Africa, the hot weather and sun started to deteriorate them. So then they're acting out of fear, they're acting out of low self-esteem, they're acting out of a deficiency — so therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill, and pillage in order to survive.

So these people who didn't have what we had — and when I say 'we' I speak of us white people — they had to be savages. They had to be barbaric. Because they're in these African jungles; they're in these hot, hostile environments. So 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."

Imagine those words coming out of this face:

It would be just as evil for Ryan Seacrest to say that about black people as it is for Nick Cannon to say that about white people.

Evil. Racist. Shameful. Deserving of a punch in the nose.

Imagine how quickly that white boy would be booted from every gig he has and ever would have in his life.

Because racism is bad.

But our backwards culture as apparently decided that it's only bad sometimes — and is A-OK when directed at white people.
