Insane, ignorant, criminally neurotic Black men in High Places Part 2: Who Stands to gain and why?

Hopefully you saw the Kanye West Post. It is helpful but not necessary to the matters I am about to take up. Nick Cannon is another one that fits and befits the profile of pushing criminally insane examples of Black male behavior and then purporting it to be normative that exemplars of such behaviors are ‘role models’ for other Black males and thus by default all Black males are criminally insane and dangerous. I won’t repeat who stands to gain from such characterizations of Black males often in this essay and you can get it from the article on Kanye.

All of these babies? 4 different baby mamas in one year or so? This he does in the process of rebounding from a mulatto princess (Mariah Carey). Kanye and Nick better stop getting ‘turned out’ by white and whitish pussy. That White pussy is turning these niggers out, making them lose they damn minds! I would go on a Lamar Odom tangent but I don’t want to drift too far from the material at hand in a discussion of overdosing on cocaine, hookers, dick pills and putting yourself in a coma for month. When I heard the Lamar Odom story, I realized that I had only been joking when I said I’d smoked enough weed and drank enough beer to kill a small horse…no just pass out. Lamar did enough cocaine, hookers and dick pills to put himself in a coma, that is to say, to kill a small horse and if anybody would know he would (because he’s as big as one). But I digress.

I knew Nick was ‘special’ when he didn’t get cancelled for his anti-Jewish rhetoric. In his defense, he immediately apologized, but only for some of us are apologies enough. For Whoopi and Nick, their apologies are accepted and thus they are not cancelled. But for others, apologies are not accepted and heads are demanded on a plate.

How could we expect anything different. Nick was a childhood actor…wait, I see it coming…the Nick Cannon episodes of ‘niggers in space’. In that subseries of episodes and spinoff characters from the original ‘Niggers in Space’, we just redo Nick Cannon movies…but in Space, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels directing. Drumline on the outer rim planets where Nick has to fit in with an alien drumline and learn teamwork and humility and get the girl in the end. He gets the girl…and of course gets her pregnant precipitating his move to another planet in the outer rim (a la deadbeat dad). The fathers of the foreign women put a hit out on Nick and bounty hunters (yes the Mandalorian and Boba Fett and others) come after him. He escapes by impregnating Boba Fett’s long lost daughter he didn’t know about and escaping.

He’s an entertainer so he goes to planets with entertainment industries. On the next planet his plays the part of a unique talk show host. Only he gets a lot of alien women pregnant and has to leave again. You get the picture.

Even more so than Kanye, Nick Cannon represents a particular kind of symbol of Black male incompetence. Nick is (and he will agree) a mediocre rapper at best, a mediocre comedian at best, a mediocre actor at best….which is still better than the average competition….and which qualifies to make him if not excellent at anything, an all around entertainer for whatever that is worth in 2022. Nick’s problem is how in the hell does that level of patent mediocrity as Nick Cannon rise so high?

The responsibility lies with precisely who I told you had something to gain from that kind of Black male behavior and imagery in the recent Kanye article. Follow the money and the good fishing holes. Who has something to gain from ignorant insane Black men rising to high levels and being portrayed as somehow ‘representing’, ‘defining’ and ‘articulating’ normative Black manhood and masculinity?
