Black Actors Known for Their Conspiracy Theories
Hollywood is full of eccentric personalities who hold beliefs that differ from the mainstream. Several prominent Black actors have used their platforms to share controversial theories regarding history and science. These celebrities often face public scrutiny when their alternative views clash with established facts or societal norms. The following list highlights six male actors who have publicly espoused conspiracy theories.
Terrence Howard
The star of ‘Empire’ has spent years developing his own system of logic and mathematics called Terryology. He famously argues that one times one equals two rather than one because the square root of two is an irrational number. Howard has presented his geometric findings at various institutions and claims to have patented these concepts. His belief system challenges fundamental laws of mathematics and physics that have stood for centuries.
Nick Cannon
This multifaceted entertainer faced significant backlash after sharing controversial theories on his podcast regarding history and lineage. The host of ‘Wild ‘N Out’ discussed the power of melanin and referenced conspiracy theories concerning specific banking families. Cannon claimed that certain groups have manipulated historical narratives to maintain control over the world economy. He later apologized and engaged in dialogue with community leaders to better understand the harm of these assertions.
Ice Cube
The rapper and actor known for ‘Friday’ utilized his social media platform to share a series of startling images and memes. He posted illustrations associated with the Black Cube of Saturn and other symbols frequently linked to fringe internet conspiracies. These posts appeared to endorse narratives regarding secret societies and their influence over global events. His actions sparked intense debate regarding the responsibility of celebrities sharing unverified information with large audiences.
Wesley Snipes
The action star of ‘Blade’ served prison time after adhering to a specific strain of tax protestor arguments. Snipes utilized the 861 argument which claims that domestic income earned by United States citizens is not legally taxable. He believed that the government deceives the public regarding the actual requirements of the tax code. This adherence to pseudolegal theories resulted in a high profile legal battle with the federal government.
Isaiah Washington
Former ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Isaiah Washington frequently uses social media to question mainstream narratives. He has expressed skepticism regarding medical guidelines and suggested that government entities manipulate public health data. Washington often engages with his followers about the potential hidden agendas behind major news stories and industry standards. His willingness to voice these alternative viewpoints has alienated him from the mainstream Hollywood establishment.
Katt Williams
The comedic actor famous for ‘Friday After Next’ went viral for his explosive comments about the entertainment industry’s inner workings. He alleged that secret societies and gatekeepers systematically control the careers of Black actors and comedians. Williams claimed that certain celebrities wear dresses or undergo humiliation rituals to attain fame and fortune. His interview on ‘Club Shay Shay’ ignited a massive conversation about the validity of these industry rumors.
