Nick Cannon Engages In Debate With Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer About Columbus Day

Things got a little tense on a recent episode of Cannon’s Class. Nick Cannon has been sharing episodes from his series where he speaks one-on-one with influential and controversial figures as they pick apart topics, some taboo, that are usually difficult conversations to have in a society that breeds Cancel Culture. Yesterday (October 12), American citizens were divided as they celebrated either Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day. There has been a call for the U.S. government to disassociate itself with Christopher Columbus as the public has pointed out history that includes pillaging, rape, and genocide.

Nick Cannon discussed Columbus’s sordid history on Cannon’s Class where he sat down with anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi White supremacist Richard Spencer who rose to fame for his outspoken leadership in the ongoing alt-right movement. The two men spoke about Columbus, and while Cannon took a stance against honoring the explorer, Spencer applauded Columbus for being an amazing man.

Spencer was also asked why he would support allowing statues honoring leaders such as Columbus and simply, the neo-Nazi stated that they were “great” people. However, Cannon argued that they may have accomplished feats that are to be admired, but they stand on the wrong side of history. Check out a clip from the episode below.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
