Last week, America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon stopped by The Breakfast Club, a popular New York City-based radio show, and made a few controversial comments about Planned Parenthood:
“Hillary [Clinton] was sneaking and cheating… Think about all the stuff they did with Planned Parenthood and all that type of stuff. That type of stuff is to take our community — and forget gentrification, it’s real genocide, and it’s been like that for years… This system is not built for us. This is not our land. I appreciate it. I love it, wouldn’t want to live nowhere else, but this wasn’t designed for our people.”
Cannon followed up his interview with a couple tweets about the issue of Planned Parenthood and abortion:
We are in the midst of Spiritual Warfare and only a few are in tuned with the battle.
But we will fight for those who are sleep…— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) November 26, 2016
Same issue I have with Planned Parenthood I have with corps like McDonalds, Hennessy, Privatised Prisons, public education etc. #Eugenics

Nick Cannon works for NBCUniversal, one of the biggest media conglomerates in the world, which is owned by Comcast, one of the biggest telecom companies in the world. But I guess those two corps are all good on the eugenics front.
A Splash News reporter approached Cannon at Los Angeles International Airport and asked him to elaborate on his remarks about Planned Parenthood:
“It’s modern day eugenics. It’s population control.”
First of all, abortions only account for three percent of the services Planned Parenthood provides. They also provide Pap tests, breast exams, STD treatments, and a lot of other services that help take care of both men and women.
Also, let’s be clear: women deciding whether or not they want an abortion is not “eugenics”. Planned Parenthood does not force anyone to have an abortion, nor do they turn away women who want abortions based on ethnicity or any other genetic trait. This is pure, unadulterated bullshit.
