I think it's still too early to say Cube was right, and I ride with him on this. Still one has to be fair to Biden who hasn't even been inaugurated yet and won't be for over a month from now. Cube's heart is definitely in the right place though and history is on his side as well. I will say I'm glad Cube did what he did because he's the highest profile Black individual to question Black folks unquestionable loyalty to a party. A party that reciprocates almost nothing back in return. He's the tip of a growing iceberg no pun intended.
I read the following article last night and was disappointed again because some people just don't get it. If you pay attention to the paragraphs below, notice the cavalier attitude with how the writer treats economics. To her any minority that voted for Trump did so because of his machismo, misogyny, defiance of tradition, outrageousness, etc.. Her mentality is the same thing Bernie Sanders highlighted in that the DNC doesn't know how to speak to the white working class. Minority interests are going to overlap with the white working class. This is about capital, economics. The DNC would rather talk about misogyny and homophobia and women's empowerment though. It's similar to people who dismiss Trump voters as simply being racist. That may be true for a lot of them, but it's much more complex than that. The same can be said about any minority that voted for Trump. I voted for Biden, but I completely get it why someone would have sat the election out or voted for Trump.
Black Men Support Trump Again
The reasons for the appeal range from Trump’s in-your-face bluster; machismo and misogyny; defiance of tradition; and reality TV–style outrageousness. In the eyes of Black Republicans, Trump focuses on values and issues they hold dear. “Government didn’t get me off the streets,” Donalds said in a campaign ad. “Trust in God did, love of family, personal responsibility, and hard work.” Trump checks all those boxes, and the fascism is beside the point, especially if the alternative is a Democratic Party viewed as just as racist, if less overt about it.
The hand-wringing over Black men’s votes parallels the amazement over Republican popularity among some Latino ethnic groups and the rural white working class. Whether it’s because of misogyny, a rejection of cosmopolitanism, or an enduring belief that Democrats have shied away from working-class issues, some more sophisticated thinking about the persistent and widening gaps among these groups is necessary. Until then, Black Republicans in the House are ready to disrupt the Democratic power structure. The prospect of two years of posturing in a superhero comic book “Freedom Force vs. the Squad” version of a legislature instead of a deliberative body focused on re-establishing some workable version of the common good is another ominous sign for the 117th Congress.
Cube lost me on that Zionism shyt though
