The Album in question is titled White People Party Music, and I'm pretty sure I won't be buying it.

There's no such thing as white face.

Of course he can't do Whiteface, only Obama can. In fact, Obama does it all the time and calls himself "Jon Huntsman."

Nick Cannon is pretty lame, and this screams desperation.

Disgusting. I think it would be okay if he was trying to mimic a specific white person (I also think it's "okay" for a white person to wear blackface if he's dressing up as, say, Mr. T), but trying to satirize the "quintessential white person" is just as bad as generic blackface is today.

I've never understood why or how Nick Cannon is famous. Unless I'm just forgetting something there was no iconic hit or moment that brought him into the spotlight. I dont remember anyone ever being a fan... teen girl or otherwise.

I don't know who this guy is, but he needs to fire his make-up people because he doesn't even look white.  He just looks like a light skinned black guy who borrowed some of that red hair dye that Muslims use.

The offensive part to me is the tweet.  I guess he's right about how black people are poor and irresponsible with money.  But, black people eat cream cheese and go to farmer's markets.  He needs to get his facts straight.

He's married to Mariah Carey. That's why he's famous.

He's on America's Got Talent...and there was that band movie a long time ago...

And this is great. Think of all the extra money he's going to make off of this. #wppt

No, he's been famous since the 90s I'm pretty sure.

I wish white people could just be content in the fact that they control and own everything (I mean, they have a viable political party that specifically CATERS TO THEM!) and stop getting in such a tizzy over little things like this. 

And Nick Cannon's a FF for doing something he knew would be offensive to many.

Idk about that, but that's why he's continued to be famous to now.

Tell that to a white person from say East St Louis. Racism works both ways bud.

I wouldn't call the BNP "viable".

Seriously?  People that do things that they know are going to be offensive are FFs?  Really?  Wow.

Lots of them, they live all over the St.Louis metro area.  Lots of white people lived in EStL up until the 70s.

I didn't know or care what Nick Cannon was famous for before this came up, but you have to admit, he does a pretty good job pulling it off.
