Nick Cannon Makes Some Surprising Claims About Democrats
Nick Cannon Makes Some Surprising Claims About Democrats. Some would be alarmed at Nick’s comments; however, he may have some valid points to consider. Especially since he did not appear to be making any claims about whether he was a Democrat or a Republican.
Nick Cannon Sparks Controversy
Media mogul Nick Cannon has ignited a firestorm on social media following a provocative discussion regarding the historical origins of the American political system. During a recent episode of his web series, Big Drive, Cannon made headlines by asserting that the Democratic Party is the “party of the KKK.” According to TMZ, Nick’s references about the Democratic Party were raw and uncensored. But his comments may spark a backlash from some of his fans.
The Discussion With Amber Rose
The comments surfaced during an interview with model and media personality Amber Rose, who has been vocal about her support for the Republican Party. Cannon appeared to validate Rose’s political shift, stating, “I agree with you 100%.”
He went on to challenge the modern perception of both parties, claiming:
-
The Democratic Party: According to Nick Cannon, “People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK.”
-
The Republican Party: He credited the GOP with being the “party that freed the slaves,” citing its origins under Abraham Lincoln.
A Complex Political Stance
Despite his sharp criticism of the Democrats, Nick Cannon clarified that he does not strictly align himself with the modern Republican establishment either. Invoking the philosophy of W.E.B. Du Bois, Cannon suggested he “doesn’t subscribe to either party,” arguing that the two-party system often creates a false dichotomy.
However, he did express a level of personal affinity for the current political landscape, reportedly stating that he “f***s with Donald Trump” and appreciates the former president’s disruptive approach to politics.
Historical Context vs. Modern Reality
While Cannon’s comments point to the historical reality of the 19th-century “Southern Democrats” and their ties to the Reconstruction-era Klan, historians often note the “Great Realignment” of the 20th century. This shift saw the parties’ platforms and voter bases trade places on civil rights issues, a nuance that critics say Cannon’s “blunt take” overlooks.
The episode has once again placed Cannon at the center of a national conversation regarding race, history, and the evolving loyalty of Black voters in America.
