Nick Cannon recent comments calling white people " a little less", and talking about them lacking compassion, because they lack melanin hasn't come out of nowhere. This guy has been a Hotep for a while now. It was like he could switch it off, and on. Sometimes he got his Sikh on, and his reading the Isis Papers by Frances Cress Welsing, and other times he is hosting Wild -N- Out, and the Masked Singer. On the Masked Singer, especially, Cannon is around mostly white people. He able to switch back, and forth from Hotep racist Nick Cannon to the safe Nick Cannon, without consequence. Imagine a white celebrity being an open white supremacist, yet still hosting a mainstream show.
If Nick Cannon would've just kept talking shit about white people things probably would be fine now, but he just had to bring the Jews into it. It's interesting I listened to the full podcast of Cannon with Professor Griff, and he said much worse things about white, than about Jews, but that has gotten little attention in the mainstream. Some black people have gotten on Cannon, and Desean Jackson for what they said about Jewish people, and Stephen Jackson for defending Desean, and some black people have taken their side. Though most that take Cannon's side focus on their hatred of white people. Anti Semetism, and Anti Whiteness are connected in the minds of Hoteps, Hebrew Israelites, and the NOI. See these groups of black people view white Jews, and non black Jews in general as being imposters, and not real Jews. They seem to have high reverence for the Bible, and ancient Hebrew culture, but they don't want to think that those people weren't black. Trying to claim other people's identities isn't new in the black power movement. It creates an interesting situation as these black supremacists celebrate and claim ancient group who weren't black. Anti semitism in the black community is nothing new. It's been going for a long time, and it is connected to anti whiteness. It would be tough to find a mainstream article willing to connect the dots. As hatred for white people has become more and more accepted it has led to more hatred of Jews. I just wonder how things would've turned out if he said what he said about white people without bringing up Jews.

Yes Those Riots Played A Role In The Rising Of Coronavirus Cases
I guess when people aren't practicing social distancing, but doing it for "the right causes" the virus goes out of it's way not to spread. Sense the sarcasm.
.
You may or may not have read about a study saying that the protest following the death of George Floyd haven't caused the increase of coronavirus cases.
This is that study
https://www.nber.org/papers/w27408.pdf
The popular thing to blame is reopening. It's easy to blame white Republicans, especially Donald Trump. There is a serious problem with that theory though. The White House revealed the plan for reopening in April. Reopening really began gaining momentum after April 30, and in May it became common, but the numbers didn't go up. In fact when the weather got warm in May the number of new cases went down. So if reopening is the main cause for the spike in coronavirus cases, why did it take so long? We were staying steady until the middle of June when the numbers began spiking. This is according to the CDC's data. If it was reopening itself that caused this then why it take two months for the numbers to just spike up?
We know happened in June. The protest/riots were out of control. It seems more likely to me that is what's behind the rise of cases, than it is that reopening is to blame. So what to make of the study that says it wasn't to blame? The study's data is really conclusive. The graphs on pages 48, and 49 show that all of those cities had an increase in cases after the riots, but most, if not all, had similar increases before. It's also too early to know the real impact of the riots in terms of spreading coronavirus in those areas. If, as the study says, other people were more likely to stay at home, then it's still possible that many protestors, who tended to be young and healthy, are asymptomatic, and spreading the virus unknowingly.
The biggest effect that the protest/riots had on the number coronavirus cases was in how it changed the culture. Before the death of George Floyd became big news, coronavirus was the biggest story. It was being thrown in our faces over and over again. You couldn't escape it. After the chaos started following the Floyd's death, coronavirus took a backseat. Now we were being bombarded with stories of supposed police brutality, systematic racism, and people were hunting for stories of evil, racist, white people. The riots were constantly in the news, and spreading all over the world, sort of the COVID-19 ironically enough. All of a sudden the virus wasn't big news anymore, and it's easy to see how people took their eye off the ball.
The Riots themselves was partially the product of people not caring that much about COVID, especially the looters, and those that fought with other people. Many people were ready to move on from virus, and for the anti racism movement, causing havoc, and regularly demonizing white people may have been them getting back to normal. The weather was hot, and until the protests cases had gone down substantially from where it was at in April. The chaos, and all the attention it got exacerbated the issue, and caused people to care less about the coronavirus. There could be room for two hot button issues to get good attention, but lockdown, and race riots are very different. Lockdown succeeded in lowering numbers due to the fear of the virus. The riots went as far as they did because there was less fear of the virus among those participants.
Left wingers who were so adamant about social distancing and quarantine in April, were usually quiet or in agreement with BLM. They showed their hand. I guess we found out what can make them not stand by their convictions in terms of coronavirus. Black People! Predictably the mainstream got right back to coronavirus panic. Conveniently it was after the riots had calmed down. It was so easy for them to talk that shit, and shame people when those people were white Trump supporters. Right wingers were ready to move on before the left wingers were, but focus on race took the political party that was most concerned with the coronavirus, and turned their attention elsewhere.
The news isn't all bad. Though the numbers of daily cases has gone over 50,000 the past couple days, the number of deaths have yet to go up. Perhaps that number will go up in the upcoming weeks, but even before the increase in cases the percentage of diagnosed cases that resulted in deaths had been going down. The number of people who recovered from the virus is going up. While the true number of COVID-19 cases in our country is a lot higher than the listed number, it's also true that the number of people who have recovered is also a lot higher. It makes sense that those who are asymptomatic, or only have mild symptoms are less likely to be tested.
