Nick Cannon Calls the Democratic Party the ‘Party of the KKK’

Nick Cannon made his politics known in a recent episode of his web talk show ‘Big Drive’ (via TMZ), in which he called the Democratic Party “the party of the KKK.”

After his guest, model Amber Rose, said that Democrats “don’t care about people of color and Republicans do,” Cannon responded, “I agree with you 100%. People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves. I mean, both you and I have some conservative views. You’re just a little bit more outspoken than I am. And honestly, I don’t agree with I rock with WEB Du Bois, when he said that there There is no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.

When Cannon discussed Donald Trump’s second term, he enthusiastically said “cleaning house of the motherfucker” and “doing what he said he was going to do.”

“We now have the Gulf of America,” Cannon added. “He’s just like the club. He charges a $5 million service fee for bottles to enter the country.”

Although factions of the Democratic Party were responsible for the rise of the KKK immediately after the Civil War, it is not widely believed that the entire party supported the formation of the white supremacist group. Cannon was partly right about the history of Republicans. The party was founded in the early 1950s by anti-slavery activists. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Republican Party, signed the Emancipation Proclamation and freed all slaves living in non-Union states. It was not until the House of Representatives passed the 13th Amendment in 1865, which was later ratified by a state majority, that slavery was abolished in the United States.
