The Southern Poverty Law Center and FBI disagree with your statement. Hate crimes against American Jews has shot up in recent years, while thankfully anti-Muslim hate crimes have gone down.

Cannon used his platform to spread vicious and dangerous conspiracy theories about a religious/ethnic minority that has been historically persecuted, and that currently has been facing a fast rising level of hate crimes in the USA, and you barely mention that and instead say “thank you” to him?

As a Jewish woman, it is so damn disheartening to see so many black people defending all this anti-semitism. These Jewish conspiracy theories are dangerous. If I can call out fellow Jews for their racism, why the hell can’t you call out anti-semitic black people? I don't care whether it's a klansman or a black…

“Whether you’re sitting in a barbershop or on the set of “Cannon’s Classroom,” you should speak up every single time that someone espouses racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic or harmful beliefs. That is the only way to beat this stupid bullshit. We have to do it every single time.”

Somehow left antisemitic off that…

Michael Harriot can’t couch his ‘take’ in the context of Cannon’s antisemitism.

The irony in this article is that Michael Harriot, like Viacom, are focusing on different aspects of Cannon’s comments.

So why not give the other political party a try? I would think that voting exclusively for a party that has told you they would fix you for 50 plus years, yet never seem to deliver on their promises while saying there is still work to do so give us another 4 years to solve it? I know the other side isn’t perfect…

Every sane non-racist person calls out Trump and his followers incessantly. In the same way that we talk about Black Lives Matter and people come in with that “what about black on black crime” bullshit we can’t engage in the same whataboutism when people in our community mess up. Particularly when we’re trying to push…

One can hope. On the other hand, they dragged Lady Forward down the street and tossed Wisconsin abolitionist Col. Hans Christian Heg into a lake in Madison.

Why did you leave out the anti-Semitic comments?

The people told you what they wanted by forcibly removing the statue of the slave trader.

I believe that racism is real and pervasive. I have seen it with my own eyes (in northern New York, where I live). I think, given the atrocity that was slavery and the ongoing atrocity that is systemic racism (and it’s many penumbras), that to err on the side of vastly over-doing it when fighting against this stuff is…

You left out the comments he made about Jews specifically, which were far more indefensible and more likely the actual reason why he got fired.

If we’re going to clean house, we have to sweep the corners too.

I feel like this argument is a deflection. Everything in it is correct- however, Viacom didn’t (or at lease didn’t say) they fired him because of the anti-white shit. It was because of the antisemitism. And that isn’t just words, that’s stuff that actively hurts and provokes violence against Jewish people.

A lot of people did. That is why the Harry Potter books, and then movies, are so wildly popular. That is why Bill Cosby was nicknamed “America’s Dad.”  I guess congratulations are in order, to you, on having picked up on vibes from Cosby, through his fictional TV show, and on Rowling, through her fictional wizard…

Man, I’m not cheering anything. Do you think I like making posts like these? Inviting all the hatred that is inevitably going to come in such a racially charged atmosphere? No, I don’t want to have to be the voice of reason in a situation that obviously has people pissed. I don’t want situations like this to happen in…

I mean, sure, fuck white people. The system is fucked, I get it — I agree. And, I know, you don’t want or need my support. That’s cool. Do whatever you want to do and say whatever you want to say — you’re the one suffering, not me, so I’m not going to freak out when you lash out.

I fully agree, I don’t think she should have pulled the gun. As long as they were safe in their car, she should have waited and called the police.

What’s your solution? What absolute genius idea do you have to always prevent this for all of eternity with no chance if it being circumvented in any way either conceivable or inconceivable?
