Nick Cannon, the 45-year-old comedian and television personality, has made headlines with his recent remarks on the Democratic Party and his political stance. In the Friday, March 27, episode of his show Big Drive, Cannon revealed that he “fs with” President Donald Trump and described the Democrats as “the party of the KKK” (Ku Klux Klan).
The Democrats and the KKK
Cannon’s comments sparked a lot of discussion and debate. He stated, “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.”
This statement is rooted in historical facts. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party was instrumental in pushing for the abolition of slavery. By the 1960s, several notable segregationist “Dixiecrats” — including Senator Strom Thurmond — switched their allegiances from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.
Amber Rose’s Perspective
The subject came up during a conversation between Cannon and his Big Drive guest, Amber Rose. Rose, who described herself as a formerly “liberal” Democrat, switched parties to become a Republican in recent years and endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Rose told Cannon, “Democrats don’t care about Black people. They don’t care about people of color, and the Republicans do. That’s the misconception.”
Cannon replied, “You and I have some conservative views. You’re just a little more outspoken. Honestly, I don’t subscribe to either party. I rock with W.E.B. Du Bois when he said this, ‘There’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.'”
W.E.B. Du Bois and the Two-Party System
W.E.B. Du Bois was a prominent sociologist and civil rights pioneer who fought for equal rights for Black people in the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s. He died at the age of 95 in 1963. Du Bois’ quote, “There’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names,” has been widely cited in discussions about the two-party system in the United States.
Cannon’s remarks have sparked a lot of discussion and debate. While some have praised him for his honesty and willingness to speak his mind, others have criticized him for his political statements. Regardless of one’s political leanings, Cannon’s comments have certainly generated a lot of buzz and have brought the issue of the two-party system to the forefront once again.
