Wild ‘n’ Out host and producer Nick Cannon has come out guns blazing to speak out against the plight of the black man. Cannon who has been known to be outspoken on racism and inequality in America took to social media to share his two cents on the matter where Hart was forced to step down after homophobic tweets surfaced.
In defense of the “Ride Along” star Kevin Hart, Cannon released a video addressing the state of the African- American population. In his spoken word piece titled “Oscar” which was filmed as Chris Rock hosted the Oscars in 2016. Cannon addresses the inequality in the justice system, police brutality, as well as the unavailability of opportunities for African Americans. He says, ” We come from Pharaohs with no master, What happened? We went from golden tombs to closed caskets…Hell yeah, am gonna watch that ceremony where they gonna let a black man be the Master for at least two hours, Don’t waste your voice, don’t waste your prayers. Save ’em for the thousands killed in Nigeria, Kenya. The Philippines, Syria or right here in the urban areas…”

Cannon also took to Twitter on December 7th to share some old tweets by Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman and show host Chelsea Handler. In a series of tweets, Cannon dragged the female comedians online who have often shared homophobic content for a laugh. Unfortunately for the three comedians, the public was less than impressed even though there was no true consequential reproach or backlash to their fault comments.

Though Hart is seemingly disinterested in drawing more attention to the matter, it seems that Nick Cannon will not let sleeping dogs lie. Instead, he may have just tactfully exposed the racial bias from the Academy and Hollywood.
