Ahead of his appearance on ABC’s “Soul of a Nation” tomorrow Nick Cannon discusses forgiveness and growth.
Earlier this year the television personality and comedian returned to his hosting duties on “Wild ‘n Out” after he was fired from the show for anti-Semitic comments made on “Cannon’s Class”.
At the time, Cannon issued an apology on Twitter, admitting his words “reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naive place that these words came from.”
In an advance clip, Cannon explains his distinction between an apology and atonement.
