Nick Cannon let his politics be known on a recent episode of his web talk show \u201cBig Drive\u201d (via TMZ<\/a>), during which he called the Democratic Party \u201cthe party of the KKK.\u201d<\/p>\n

After his guest, model Amber Rose, said that Democrats \u201cdon\u2019t care about people of color and the Republicans do,\u201d Cannon replied, \u201cI agree with you 100%. People don\u2019t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don\u2019t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves. I mean, both of you and I have some conservative views. You\u2019re just a little bit more outspoken than I am. And honestly, I don\u2019t subscribe to either party. I rock with W. E. B. Du Bois, when he said there\u2019s no such thing as two parties. It\u2019s just one evil party with two different names.\u201d<\/p>\n

When discussing Donald Trump\u2019s second term, Cannon enthusiastically said \u201cmotherfucker\u2019s cleaning house\u201d and is \u201cdoing what he said he was gonna do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got the Gulf of America now,\u201d Cannon added. \u201cHe\u2019s like the club. He\u2019s charging a $5 million bottle service fee to get into the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

While factions of the Democratic Party were responsible for the rise of the KKK right after the Civil War, it\u2019s not widely believed that the entirety of the party endorsed the formation of the white supremacist group. Cannon was partially right about the history of the Republicans. The party was founded in the early 50\u2019s by anti-slavery activists. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Republican Party, signed the Emancipation Proclamation and freed all slaves living in non-Union states. However, it wasn\u2019t until the House of Representatives passed the 13th Amendment in 1865, which was later ratified by a state majority, that slavery was abolished in the United States.<\/p>\n
