Nick Cannon is facing a wave of controversy after wearing whiteface in a new photo.

The 33-year-old "America's Got Talent" host is about to release his first album in 11 years, "White People Party Music," and he took a unique approach to promoting his latest work.

Much of what black people record at the moment can be accurately called "white people party music".

I'm glad that he can do this and Robert Downey Jr. can wear blackface in a film and people don't make a big deal about it.

Cannon made a foolish move bringing race into it in order to get publicity. If a white person made that album the howls from the the race card players would be all over the place. And "Connor Smallnut" gee what do you think he's trying to portray there? lol

A part of me wonders if this has anything to do with the upcoming season of American Idol and if Howard Stern plays a part in this.

Cue the fake outrage of how unfair it is that Nick Cannon gets away with this.

Let a white artist make an album called

"Black people church music"

I'd love to see how well that would go over.
