As Iâve been mentioning for a while, the last two Black Power moments (late 1960s, early 1990s) got cancelled over black anti-Semitism.
For example, the rap group Public Enemy and the director Spike Lee were praised in the late 1980s when it was assumed by white elites that their phrase âFight the Powerâ referred to fighting merely whites in general, especially working class whites like the NYPD:
But in the 1990s it became clear that both felt that Jews tended to be particularly powerful whites, especially in the entertainment industry, so the Public Enemy-Spike Lee-NWA-Minister Farrakhan era got shut down for getting uppity toward Jews.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out this time.
Hereâs an amusing new dialog between Professor Griff of Public Enemy and a somewhat younger black celebrity Nick Cannon, who was married to Mariah Carey and is more of a mainstream TV star than a black-only name: e.g., heâs a singing contest judge, that sort of thing. Nick echoes the 1990s views of professor Leonard Jeffries about Ice People vs. Sun People that John Derbyshire has always found rather evocative:
Nick Cannon: (00:01)
Letâs go to what it really is, then. When we talk about the power of melanated people, when we talk about who we really are as gods, and in understanding that our melanin is so power and it connects us in a way that the reason why they fear black, the reason why they fear is because they⌠The lack that they have of it. So then when you see whatâs⌠Dr. Frances C. Welsing talked about, is that fear and that-Richard âProfessor Griffâ Griffin: (00:24)

That deficiency of when youâd have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, that they know that they will be annihilated, so therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion. Melanin comes with compassion. Melanin comes with soul that we call it, we call it soul. We soul brothers and sisters. Thatâs the melanin that connects us, so the people that donât have it are⌠And Iâm going to say this carefully, are a little less and where the term actually comes from, because Iâm bringing it all the way back around to Minister Farrakhan to where they may not have the compassion or the⌠When they were sent to the mountains of Caucasus, when they didnât have the power of the sun, that the sun then started to deteriorate them. So then theyâre acting out of fear. Theyâre acting out of low self esteem, theyâre acting out of a deficiency. So therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. The only way they can⌠They have to rob, steal, rape, kill, and fight-Richard âProfessor Griffâ Griffin: (01:37)

So then these people who didnât have what we had. And when I say we, I speak of the melanated people, they had to be savages. They had to be barbaric. They had, because theyâre in these Nordic mountains, theyâre in these rough torrential environments so theyâre acting as animals. So theyâre the ones that are actually closer to animals. Theyâre the ones that are actually the true savages and then they built up such this, I donât want to say warrior, but they built up such this conquering barbaric mentality.
Cannon has now been cancelled, but not for that part about whites. From The New York Times news desk:
ViacomCBS Fires Nick Cannon, Citing Anti-Semitic Podcast Remarks
By Neil Vigdor
July 15, 2020, 2:06 a.m. ETThe television star Nick Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS on Tuesday for making anti-Semitic remarks during a recent podcast in which he discussed conspiracy theories about Jewish people and praised a minister notorious for anti-Jewish comments.
ViacomCBS is the parent company of MTV and the cable channel TeenNick, both of which prominently showcased Mr. Cannon for years on various platforms. âŚ
A ViacomCBS spokeswoman said in a statement that the company categorically denounced all forms of anti-Semitism.
âWe have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast âCannonâs Classâ on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,â the statement said. âWhile 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.â
Mr. Cannonâs dismissal by ViacomCBS came after the star wide receiver DeSean Jackson was fined and disciplined by the Philadelphia Eagles last week for sharing an anti-Semitic quotation attributed to Hitler.
On the June 30 episode of the podcast, Mr. Cannon was interviewing the rapper Richard Griffin, known as Professor Griff, about his dismissal from the hip-hop group Public Enemy in 1989.
Mr. Griffin left the group after he said in an interview with The Washington Times: âThe Jews are wicked. And we can prove this.â He also said that Jews were responsible for âthe majority of wickedness that goes on across the globe.â
Speaking to Mr. Cannon, Mr. Griffin doubled down on his past remarks about the influence of Jewish people on the music and media industries.
âIâm hated now because I told the truth,â Mr. Griffin said.
âYouâre speaking facts,â Mr. Cannon said. âThereâs no reason to be scared of anything when youâre speaking the truth.â
Mr. Cannon said it was an honor to have the âlegendâ Mr. Griffin on his podcast. He also said it was a shame that Louis Farrakhan, a minister known for his history of anti-Semitic comments, had been silenced on Facebook.
Responding to Mr. Griffinâs contention that six dominant media companies were controlled by Jewish people, Mr. Cannon said it was comparable to the power of the Rothschilds, the banking scions who are a focus of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
âI find myself wanting to debate this idea and it gets real wishy and washy and unclear for me when we give so much power to the âtheys,â and âtheysâ then turn into illuminati, the Zionists, the Rothchilds,â Mr. Cannon said later in the podcast.
He also echoed Mr. Griffinâs remarks about how Black people are Semitic people by definition and that Semitic people are not white.
âYou canât be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people,â Mr. Cannon said. âThatâs our birthright. So if thatâs truly our birthright, thereâs no hate involved.â
Just remember, anti-Semitism is a THING. Anti-whiteism or anti-gentilism ⌠are we even sure how the spell those words?
