Shouldn't be surprising to anyone, you can't just be pro black now you gotta accept fags, trannys and whatever new thing that comes out next year

And if you dont, the "good guys" will cancel you so you end up on tucker and joe rogan
The type of discourse I would expect from someone with an anime pfp.

Imagine hating LGBT people to the point were you throw in your lot with white supremacist.

Not saying he is 100% correct, but, all of you replying to this thread...

Most of y'all were born after 1980/1990. Is there something you have not been able to do that you might have otherwise been able to do if you were white?

Ofc, my nikka. Lol.

Homeownership/Home appraisal
Career opportunity with a stem degree/denied promotion with stem degree and experience

YES, the barrier of entry Into many avenues of life for American Blacks is easier. But the promotion and development in said avenues are still very much effected by white supremacy

And that will always be the case because we are in an environment that is 60 plus percent white. They gotta eat first. They gotta eat the most.

The Multiverse
Inherited land/money/resources is an argument for a small percentage of the population, especially in regards to seeing some significant advantage from it.
And? You said race doesn’t matter. This is clearly an example of where race matters. You can’t make a statement then move the goalposts when you’re presented with a valid counter-argument.
Plenty of black folks own and pass down land/property to their children or grandchildren.
And more blacks would be able to pass down land/property to their children or grandchildren if their enslaved ancestors and post-slave ancestors were allowed to amass it. Research the concept and effects of “heirs’ property” and get back to me when you are educated.

My guess is you really mean land in Beverly Hills or whatever.
No, I mean like land here in Virginia that enslaved people were obviously unable to purchase. Like the land that my former manager inherited and is passing down to his children. I mean land all throughout the US that was sold during reconstruction that formerly enslaved people could not purchase. The hell does Beverly Hills have to do with anything? :why:

But again, most people are regular folks doing regular folk stuff. What regular folk stuff have you been prevented from doing? The fact you're on an internet forum talking about this bullshyt says a lot about who you are, where you live, and the system you're a part of.

The fact that I have an internet connection means that racism doesn’t exist? That is a stupid comment.

:mjpls:

Yeah...no. The "elites" care about race, just like the lowliest cac, asian, and latino. And they care about it because that's how the US is organized. According to race. With class included but fundamentally based on race. Much like India with their caste system.

But clowns like Cube and Dave Chappelle and a few other celebrities think that their money somehow magically protects them from the racism of cacs.

It doesn't though.

But they think it does so they buddy up to cacs that can't stand them like Carlson, Rogan, Musk, etc..because they fundamentally have low self esteem and a serious amount of self hate.


Show me where Cube said they dont care about race though? Your basing your argument off of the thread title and not the context of what Cube actually says.



He clearly said there is some white people you can work with,and others you cant. Which would include racist white people of any class.


But its true hey would rather have black people upset about a celeb saying the n word,or that Small Town song. Than have black people actually strategizing and talking about substantive things. Race is definitely senstionalized as a distraction measure.



The "Southern Strategy" is a real thing. So its not even a secret that race is used as propaganda to appeal to white racism. And its no secrets Democrats use their racism to put us on puppet strings. As opposed to actually offering us tangibles. Theyd rather us be emotionalist movement,than a logical one. Its far easier for them to manipulate you that way.

It’s like they implode on themselves from all the ideals they learned. What I notice for some of them is that they get tired of the excuses and inaction and feel as though Race after awhile becomes a hustle that white liberals in particular use to keep Black people in a mode of defeatism.

I would argue that a vast majority of people don’t really get the full substance of Black consciousness which is what ends up causing this phenomena. The idea is to acknowledge the truth of what has happened but not to let it rule your imagination with regards to what can be done to turn things around. Also, there are a lot of people that play dress up with consciousness just to get away from something. Those people end up having kids and when their actions begin to contradict then these same kids grow up to be total cynics towards the idea of Blackness.

Shut the fukk up, you know damn well this ain't true. I don't support the alphabet shyt and ain't nobody cancelled me. And yes I'm a democrat but that doesn't mean I'm down with the alphabet gang.

Y'all muthafukkas are just low key full blown right wingers or you afraid to admit that you agree with their ideology which I understand because their ideology is totally fukked up.

12 minute Mark


For the FULL CONTEXT, start at the 11:35 minute mark.
TUCKER: WE'VE BEEN TALKING ALMOST ALDAY NOW, YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED RACE A SINGLE TIME. YOU MENTIONED ECONOMICS, RICH OR POOR A NUMBER OF TIMES. DID YOU THINK THAT WE OVERPLAY THE RACIAL CONFLICT OVER IN AMERICAN LIFE?

ICE CUBE: YES. I THINK RACE IS..IT TAKES UP TOO MUCH SPACE. UM, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WE ALL HAVE IN OUR LIVES WHO ARE SAME RACE THAT WE CAN'T STAND. AND THERE'S PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES FROM OTHER RACES THAT WE GET ALONG WITH WAY BETTER. SO, IT'S NOT RACE, IT'S NOT ABOUT COLOR OR GENDER AND THIS AND THAT. IT'S ABOUT WHO DO YOU CONNECT WITH. YOU KNOW, WHO DO YOU VIBRATE WITH? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHO'S ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH? WHO WANTS TO BE THE SAME KIND OF PERSON? WHO WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING WHEN YOU WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING? UM, SO THAT'S WHO YOU CONNECT WITH. SO, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE A LOT OF MONEY OFF OF THE RACISTS FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER AND BICKERING. AND THEY'RE THE ONES WHO PUSH IT IN OUR FACE ALL THE TIME THAT WE'RE SEPARATE.

Nowhere does he say, "race doesn't matter in America". He DOES believe it's being overblown purposely and that there's people, grifters and corporations for example, who are using the racial divide to profit their own pockets. He also believes, which is true on a humanist level that people of the same race have issues with any individual of that race more so than an individual outside of that race. For example, with Cube, him and Mack 10 will NEVER reconcile, but Cube is cool with many people who aren't black. And that the same with any person of every race. There are people who of your race you cannot stand, but you are cool with another person who is not of your ethnicity.

Now you can if you want to criticize Cube of his evolution from how he used to feel 30 years ago. But don't put what he said out of context. He wouldn't be pro-reparations if he doesn't think race matters in America. Don't confuse wanting racial harmony with denying racism exist. Even the original Black Panthers sought brotherhood from people outside of their race.

At what mark does he say this?


12:40 mark.


Look no further than thecoli. Just a winless cycle,where we spend 24 hours upset about racist tweets,interacial relationships of random nobodies. As opposed to actually speaking about constructive things.


On twitter you see the same,people coming together collectively to get random nobodies fired from their jobs for being Karens. Random distractions using our emotions on race to keep us from being focused and constructive.


Sure some of its organic,but I believe some of it is by design. I think we all know it for a fact.

That quote seems to me like Cube is all about his money and don't give a damn who he got to be next to to get it. Which is obvious from hanging with Tucker Carlson all day :scust:to his business associates/partners.
