Nick Cannon on Wednesday issued a lengthy apology on Twitter to the Jewish community for his "hurtful and divisive words" but offered no apology for calling white people "evil" subhumans and "savage barbarians."

First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin.

While the Jewish experience encompasses more than 5,000 years and there is so much I have yet to learn, I have had at least a minor history lesson over the past few days and to say that it is eye-opening would be a vast understatement.

I want to assure my Jewish friends, new and old, that this is only the beginning of my education—I am committed to deeper connections, more profound learning and strengthening the bond between our two cultures today and every day going forward.

On my podcast I used words & referenced literature I assumed to be factual to uplift my community instead turned out to be hateful propaganda and stereotypical rhetoric that pained another community For this I am deeply sorry but now together we can write a new chapter of healing

"Notice he hasn't apologized (nor will he) for his racist beliefs about white people being 'evil' because of 'genetics,'" conservative commentator Mark Dice remarked on Twitter. "That kind of 'hate speech' is allowed."

And....the crisis management team has stepped in trying to salvage what's left of Nick Cannon's career. Notice he hasn't apologized (nor will he) for his racist beliefs about white people being "evil" because of "genetics." That kind of "hate speech" is allowed. https://t.co/OOLkplODik

Breakfast Club radio host Charlamagne responded to news of Cannon's firing by saying: "If there's one thing Jewish people have showed us, it's they have the power."

"I can't wait until the day black people are able to fire people for saying things about us that we deem racist," Charlamagne said.
