I hope I don& #39;t get cancelled for saying this, but I understand what Nick Cannon was trying to say, even though he said it the wrong way.
Do the Jews "control" the media? No. That& #39;s just silly.
Are there many older Jewish men in positions of power in Hollywood? Yes.

It& #39;s extremely unwise to every attempt to paint any group as a monolith, especially because so much of Hollywood isn& #39;t Jewish.
Nick Cannon is probably just frustrated because he feels his culture (black culture) isn& #39;t fairly represented by television.

It was hard for Donald Glover/Childish Gambino to find a home for his shoe Atlanta, and I don& #39;t think it& #39;s a stretch to say Atlanta is a hit show.
The problem that you run into, especially in Hollywood, is young black writers are pitching their ideas to old white Jewish men.

Are all producers and show-runners in Hollywood Jewish? Once again. No.
But many are. I& #39;d even venture to say, relative to the population, Jewish men are probably over-represented in Hollywood.
I don& #39;t have any data on it, just personal experience. Anyway...

Nick Cannon went on to wax poetic about some pretty insane conspiracies about Jewish bloodlines, central banking, and even named-dropped the Rothschilds.
That& #39;s definitely not what& #39;s going on in Hollywood. The moment you cross that line, you uhm... you& #39;re going to anger people.

If Nick Cannon had simply said, "I& #39;m frustrated because I keep pitching ideas about black culture to tables of old Jewish white men." - he may have exposed some truths.
I know this, because in an interview a while back, Donald Glover talked about that being his experience in LA.

Black men and black women are tragically under-represented in Hollywood, especially in positions of authority.
Tyler Perry never comes right out and says it, but that& #39;s why he built that massive studio complex in Atlanta. He couldn& #39;t break through, so he built his own Hollywood.

Despite how Nick Cannon might feel, what he said about Jewish people took one problem (black people not getting a fair shot in Hollywood), and managed to create another problem.
Jewish people aren& #39;t some giant cabal of control. Anyone saying that doesn& #39;t know Jewish people.

Seriously, if you think "Jews are conspiring against you" -- go have dinner with a Jewish family.
You won& #39;t find a group of people who love arguing with each other more than a Jewish family.
Jewish mothers are the LeBron James of petty bickering.

The problem here is that Nick Cannon is a popular figure in black America. People listen to him. When he starts rattling off anti-Semitism, people take notes.
I& #39;m not sure who put those ideas in his head, but those ideas are wrong, and they need to be denounced.

Conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism tend to fill in gaps when people ask questions, but don& #39;t get answers.
I& #39;m sure Nick Cannon wasn& #39;t getting satisfactory answers as to why old white guys weren& #39;t more receptive to his ideas, so someone said, "Hey Nick. It& #39;s the JEWS!"

In summation: Are there a lot of wealthy, old, out of touch white guys in positions of power in entertainment? Yes.
Does this have anything to do with a few of them being Jewish? No.
It& #39;s just a fine blend of wealth and centuries of whiteness.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
