“Race doesn’t matter in America “ - Ice Cube

[Kyle C. Barker]

Yikes at that last tweet though.


The right wing propaganda machine got the sound bites that they needed, that's for sure.

$ talks at the end of the day and republicans have it in spades

I said it earlier it's about money with Cube. These black conservatives don't give a fukk about black people, they trying to line their pockets, get tax cuts and keep the middle and lower class away from the top.

They don't wanna help people they want an embarrassment of riches like they see the white man has. And they will sell out their own people trying to get to it.

Obviously accumulating wealth is ideal, but let's keep it real the majority of black people have to work in this country to make a living, we're not all business owners who rub shoulders with rich folk all day no matter their race like Cube does.

he's not dumb...he's just rich and surrounded by white guys who see past him being black but being a celeb.

Just Dave Chappelle syndrome

It's the "I'm not black, I'm OJ" thing or I'm blue (cop) first before I'm black.

Money changes people, makes them compromise themselves in their pursuit of wealth. Shame.

I do agree that cube should not be having a sit down with Tucker Carlson

There’s nothing to gain from this

Do Republicans side with the white racist or is that only a Democratic thing in your opinion?

Yes of course they do. They are actually racist and the maestro of white racist. Like Democrats are the maestro of black people. Repulicans stir their base with anti black/pro white propaganda. And democrats stir us by making sure we see the racism.

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?

And it can't be, "if I was white, my grandparents would've had money and I could've gotten into Harvard due to their connections." That applies to establishment old money types who are less than 1% of the population.

• Ease of getting first job
• Faster promotions
• Parents gifting money to buy property
• Knowing someone that knows someone

That's just a few things off the top of my head

 

[Ozymandeas]

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.

I can understand this. I've felt this way at times.

I see what he’s saying but you simply can’t say this shyt publicly as a black figure because you know who will use it as a weapon to combat the presence of racism in society when it it very much present.

Inherited land/money/resources is an argument for a small percentage of the population, especially in regards to seeing some significant advantage from it. Plenty of black folks own and pass down land/property to their children or grandchildren.

My guess is you really mean land in Beverly Hills or whatever.

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.

Look at this fukking cac playing down racism

 

[TQbrit]

The most "socially conscious" nikkas be the ones to c00n out the most, its almost like c00ning is a gene or sumn

Even black men in the civil rights movement were fukking and breeding white women on the side.
