ever heard of ted nugent? old head rock singer and board member of the NRA.... thought by some to be one of the most powerful lobby in the country. as you see, trump always brings up second amendment rights and plenty people (of all races) go for it... and they win :yeshrug:

this is #politicsasusual.
i dont know if they voted trump just cause of ted nugnent though

has anybody said they are going to vote for trump just cause of cube? it's more so the ideas they advocate for.
idk why people think a black celebrity (specifically rappers) cant represent the ideas of the masses (not saying all black people have the same ideas)
cuz yes, white celebrities do it too. ronald reagan and arnold schwarzneggar, donald trump. they are all actors/celebrities. there's a whole list

What's wrong with working with both parties. Build the initial plan with Republicans, make refinements with Democrats. Return the revisided plan to Republicans.....let's fukkin build

Trump has yet to deliver his promise on this fukking wall , amongst countless other things but we're supposed to assume he's gonna help us with this "platinum plan" weeks before the election ??? :dahell:

I use to say it was Russian bots but honestly I believe the Republican Party and the Trump campaign themselves have their hands in a lot of "black woke social media" figures and accounts. #ADOS, #FBA, Ice Cube, Kanye West, Yvette Carnell, Tone Talks, Tariq Nasheed, an entire army of message board profiles that think shouting "fukk Dems, fukk Biden" day and night is the height of black militance. I really do believe the GOP is all up in these operations targeting black male voters specifically. No one who claims to be pro black and politically savvy can be this naive at this point to believe Trump can be trusted with ANYTHING other than to advance his own self interest.

This is why we need to stop having entertainers as our leaders. They're too subject to the okie doke and they're just not politically savvy enough or accustomed to dealing with white people enough most of the time.

That instagram post will have much broader distribution than Cube's tweet, and most people aren't even going to watch the video.

Cube's just been played.

I had a boss who was a straight a$$hole and most likely a racist. He did not get along with anyone who wasn't a white male on the team. After talking to my mentor at the company as well as my skip-level about the situation, he got his management responsibilities removed from him and got put on another team. Apparently others on the team had perceived the same thing.

Fast forward a few months, he emails me out of the blue with some buddy buddy shyt about, "What was that thing you said about XYZ? I think that was a really funny but useful way of summarizing the situation and I wanted to share with my team as we're facing something similar."

I read that email and, immediately, having dealt with sus white people before, the questions that popped into my head were:
  • Why me?
  • Why this?
  • Why now?
Of all people to be in contact with, why me? Why about this? Why now? I couldn't come to an answer that made sense outside of him having something to gain by showing we were still in contact, so I never responded. I didn't trust the guy and was sure there were ulterior motives that meant something for his career - fukk him.

Come to find out a few weeks later, he'd run into the same issue (being perceived as a racist) in the new group and was on his way to getting fired (which he did). Putting it together, I'm pretty sure he hit me up to say "If I were making people feel like a racist, why would I have a good enough relationship with Reality to have this email exchange?" I'm 99.9% sure that shyt was a hailmary to this day. He was fired within 2 weeks of sending me the email.

Anyway, that's me at 22 years old after navigating white spaces for pretty much my entire life. Antenna up.

I'm pretty sure the same questions I asked apply here and reveal the answer.


But folks be wanting black celebrities to speak up and if you don't you dont care

"There's a dedication of keeping us at the bottom"

For those of you in the south/west coast, do you ever stop and realize undocumented immigrants who cant speak English are doing much better on average than black people in those same cities? They got trucks and late model cars, they got assets (work equipment), they always have cash, and always have work. They're killing us out here.

They are.. Every place i see mexicans, they got their own businesses and grocery stores..

So compared to what my people are doing, from what I've seen, they're doing fine..

Cube is an idiot and this shows why it is so difficult for us to make forward movements.

I am going to make this clear and say that I don't side with the Democrats as a whole, but it is necessary to look at the conditions they are working in and their respective motives.

Trump's camp, for more than 4 years, has been playing up to White Supremacy. They have cultivated an Us vs Them environment where their opposition is under greater pressure to demonstrate that they have not forgotten about white America. Where they're under greater scrutiny to show that they are not hypocrites.

This is done intentionally. It allows Trump to make grand promises. He's built enough trust with his core base that they know he will not honour his word.

He is able to then restrict the movement of his opposition by fearmongering. An example of this can be found in his response to affordable housing.

Why Ice Cube is a fool is men are supposed to recognise when they're being played. Realistically, you cannot expect democrats to publicly support him in the middle of a campaign. Regardless of right and wrong, there is a cloud hanging over his head that they would be forced to comment on.

Trump will not comment be asked those questions so he's free to engage and act as though he gives a damn.

I’m convinced some of these nikkas on here might kill themselves if Trump gets re-elected. I’m not even being hyperbolic.

They have allowed themselves to be so emotionally invested in national politics and have been constantly triggered by the media.

You can see the manic patterns in some of their posts. To go through life with all this fear and anxiety over something you can’t control is unhealthy.

What makes you so sure Trump gonna get re elected? Early voting breaking records in all 50 states. The GOP going broke and having trouble campaigning. What did Trump do in 2020 to expand his base? You not logical and as emotional as the people that you accuse of.
