Thats what happens when you have entertainers as bridge that politicians need to get in cross to reach the community as if there arent black people who have dedicated their whole professionsl lives in these issues. Very sad and demonstrates the lack of seriousness these politicians have toward the black community.
I don’t believe Ice Cube being an entertainer has anything to do with simple reading fundamentals. Not to mention, he could easily HIRE people to help him if he’s really trying to make a difference.

he failed his own self and almost brought a bunch of people on board because he didn’t read...

What did chuck and ghost say.

Now in all entertainers defense. Most americans ain't take and aren't taking this virus serious. Cause there has been a total breakdown in the education system when it comes to believing in science. Plus because if all the silly hollywood movies and conspiracies over the last 2 to 3 decades. So americans believe everything is a hoax or a plot taken from a movie.

Whatever crazy shyt an entertainer has said about covid we all know a relative, neighbor, classmate or coworker who has said something just as crazy or crazier when discussing this virus.

Just a lot of 5G, Bill Gates and COVID conspiracies. I think mostly in their stories so people wouldn’t shyt in their comments.

They posed them as “think about it” rather than facts. So I guess it saved face as they deleted posts a few times

Bruh... look at that vid

Even if I agreed with you that someone should meet with Trump on our behalf...

That person obviously should NOT be Cube as he is ignorant as hell on politics. This interview with Roland proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

He is a talented rapper, producer and actor.

That does NOT translate into being talented in politics
.


But this what folks wants

They want black celebrities to speak up and be leaders

If a black celeb comes out and says they don't want to speak on certain issues, they would get called out

Malcolm X told yall back in the day about celebrities

1st off, cube didnt just flat out turn into some bootlickin, soft shoed c00n for republicans like ye did so lets keep things in perspective

so i think cube intentions are well, and i really think he figures he could use his fame to help push the whole "benefits strickly for ADOS" movement, but its obvious he isn't really ready for the political side of things..

he once told dre to stick to producing, but in this case, cube need to just stick to rapping about this subject.

This is an example of the dumbing down of america that I always talk about. The foolish and I mean foolish population expects entertainers to speak on behalf of them for every issue. Take up a cause and figure out a resolution.

In the past the population only expected entertainers to stand in solidarity and financially contribute with the cause.

No one expected Ali to go down to the white house and work with nixon on how to pull troops out of Vietnam. No one expected dikk gregory to lead the civil rights movement. No one said hey Pam Grier should be the leader of the women rights movement.

shyt is mind numbing how stupid the American population is. Thats why I say america truly deserves trump. He is everything the american population is...arrogant, lying, disrespectful, talks on matters they don't know about, doesn't believe in science, talks over people, spoiled, rotten, ungrateful, loud mouth, fascinated with material shyt, looks out for self.

He is like every american stereotype rolled all together in one person. He is like if you took all of the american population put them into a lab and made the perfect american. All the way down to him having the fake hair, fake tan and lying about his weight and appearance to the world.

Its stupid folks want the non educated on a subject to speak on said subject. This shyt would be like me asking a taxi driver to perform my back surgery.

Jokers bytch about not wanting leaders but then try to bully entertainers to be leaders. Its the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Solidarity and financial support (even if the financial support is done clandestine wise which is even better) thats what slow folks should be asking for.

What got MJ in trouble in the 80s and 90s was that he didn't show any solidarity. Especially in Chicago when kids were getting killed over Js. If he would have did some community work like zeke did in Detroit and Chicago to stop the violence folks would have let him live.

MJ didn't have to be Ali or craig hodges. The problem is he wanted to be more like OJ back then on some I don't even want to address the issue.

Y'all get clips and take them out of context. He never endorsed or met Trump, never met the lady that put the tweet out, and didn't have anything to do with the Platinum Plan. Again, he spoke with both parties and wanted to see if they could make some things happen for black people. And for that, he's a Trumper? Y'all can't be that stupid.

And I say all of this as a life long fan of cube. For 3 decades dude has donated money to the black community in LA and put a lot of black folks to work (often employing black managers, security and folks behind the scene for his tours and movies).

The problem ain't the contract. Its the fact that he is being used as a pawn (whether by mistake or on purpose) by Trump and his folks.

Someone said in the Roland video that none of cubes contract is in the platinum plan. Well no shyt I could have told yall that 2 or 3 weeks ago. Cube plan been out for what 2 months? And the platinum plan been out for 2 or 3 weeks and was released in atlanta during trumps black trump people rally. Hell I read both plans weeks ago and knew they were nothing alike.

The optics look bad because one cube was transparent about letting the dems and the repubs see the plan....but he did not say in advance that his plan was being incorporated with Trumps plan. One of trumps flunky black sponsors tweeted it out. So cube had to hurry up and do a PR tour (brotha did like 5 interviews today) to clean this up. If his plan was being implemented (which it wasn't) he should have immediately let it be known to the public so it wouldn't come out second hand from trumps black flunky.

Next he should have only did his recent interview with roland not with some BLM person. We all know how they get down they ain't with reperations and only about getting their exposure or payday. I would have told roland he wants the interview. Then I want 15 minutes of time with only you and no one else. No panel and no other person. So I can get my points across.

Finally either cube is co-opted, didn't do his research or trump flunkies gave him a different platinum contract....but there is no excuse for him to not know that none of his contract (not one bullet) was implemented in the platinum plan. I can not believe that a man that has looked over music contracts for 35 years and movie contracts for 25 years doesn't know that the shyt from his plan wasn't in trumps plan.

This is a man that was smart enough at 18 or 19 to know the contract that Jerry tried to get him to sign was fishy. But he doesn't know that nothing from his contract was in trumps plan. Come on now cube....look I may have been born at night, but I wasn't born yesterday.

At the end of the day...in this political climate and with this election coming up. I take what everyone says from a streaming service, app, social media or internet on my tv, tablet or phone with a grain of salt. Cause there is too much propaganda out here coming from everyone.

Its almost like the ultimate goal is put out so much disinformation and talking points to get folks so frustrated where they say fukk it I am not even going to vote.

But all of this shyt is fishy and I bet we won't even know the truth on all of this for some time. But I know this....all this shyt gonna come to light eventually whether folks were honest about their concerns or whether they were putting on a performance for a check.

For the brotha cube's sake I hope he is truely honest about his concerns. Cause if not and it comes to light he may have put a nail in his entertainment career coffin with his own nail and hammer.

Cube should of made them sign NDAs so his name not to be used during elections. The trump administration announcing during election season "we worked with Ice Cube for our plan for black america:smugdraper:" is effectively an endorsement. Disinformation is big in politics. The platinum plan gives the trump administration chances to do what they were going to do anyway and left out key things from cube's plan.
