In a new episode of ABC News'"Soul of a Nation," the actor/producer sat down with reporter Linsey Davis about how he's used his time to educate himself and atone for his bigoted comments.Good Monring America
."In Hebrew they call it, you know, 'Teshuva,' the process of not only you know, repenting, but through that -- if you're ever met with a similar situation that you make a different decision. That goes beyond apologizing. And I'm on this journey of atonement, not to get a job, not to gain any more money because that's not what's needed here. I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do.
"My journey's not gonna stop, whether the person watching this forgives me or not," Cannon added."I'm still gonna hopefully through this process, be on the right side of history and bring people closer together."During this summer, Cannon spoke with rapper Richard"Professor Griff" Griffin on his podcast "Cannon's Class" and promoted conspiracy theories about the Jewish people.
ViacomCBS fired Cannon, 40, for his words, and the"Wild 'N Out" star later wrote a lengthy apology on Twitter.
Fox411 Suggested next step: Condemn leaders who have helped circulate the anti-semitic playbook- Farrakhan, Sharpton, Wright - all phony men of the cloth. Pick a side Cannon; you are lucky to have a career.
