Ice Cube paid attention to the historic Democratic National Convention earlier this week and even though he waded through all of the speeches between former President Barack Obama, Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris and former Vice President turned Presidential hopeful Joe Biden, he still hasn’t heard enough for Dems to earn the vote of Black Americans.
Cube took to Twitter on Saturday (August 22) and once more championed his “Contract With Black America” as a possible neo-Reconstruction style solution to help address the disparity in the wealth gap between Black Americans and their counterparts.
“So, over the last four days the Democratic National Party held their convention,” Cube began in the three-minute clip. “Lot of people getting up there and talking and, everybody really eating it up, throwing their hands in the air like they just don’t care damn near. What I didn’t hear is, ‘What’s in it for us?’ What’s in it for the Black community besides the same ol’ thing we’ve been getting from these parties? What’s in it for us, forreal?
“I didn’t hear anybody mention a Contract with Black America, and I don’t know why because its one of the most comprehensive reform documents that have come around in a long time that could really address the problem. The way it look, they don’t really have a problem. Everybody talkin’ about, ‘Get Trump out, get Trump out, get Trump out.’ If you vote, that’s gon’ happen on the first day. So, now what? Trump out, now what? What do we get in the first 100 days? That’s what we’re trying to figure out. What do we actually get that they could give us overnight like that?”
The West Coast OG has been strident in recent weeks following the killing of George Floyd to urge Black Americans to weaponize their vote and to challenge politicians to do right by the Black community. Floyd’s death reawakened the political side of Cube, known for contributing to Public Enemy’s “Burn Hollywood Burn” from Fear Of A Black Planet as well as “Black Korea,” a fiery and controversial song from his 1991 album Death Certificate.
Ice Cube Reminds Black Americans Not To Ignore Voting
“They just pulled $3 trillion out their ass and gave it to their friends,” Cube continued. “That’s American taxpayer money, that’s your money that they just gave away. And there’s half – 42 percent of Black businesses closing. None of that money – where’s our fuckin’ bailout? Where’s the bail out — not the PPP Loan that they didn’t give us — where’s the bailout? I don’t wanna hear about deficit. I don’t wanna hear about what our generations gon’ have to pay. Cause if we don’t have shit, they ain’t gon’ have shit anyway to pay nothin’. So we gotta start something right now. Democrats don’t seem like they got a plan, Republicans don’t seem like they got a plan for us.”
“So how the hell you gon’ vote for them?” Cube concluded. “Make ’em earn that vote. They can start today. Make they ass earn that vote. Stop playing with these people and maybe they’ll stop playing with you.”
Ice Cube is anti-semitic and shit right
No matter what the political climate is in this country…One things for sure, NOBODY has to answer to Ice Cube’s punk ass. Sit yo bitch ass down. Sick and tired of these criminal rappers trying to lecture everybody else about how to live their lives.
I’m sick n tired of niggaz like you always talking bout they tired of hearing rappers opinions. This is hip hop my nigga, this shit gon’ be opinionated STRONGLY for life and if you don’t like that shit you’re welcome to gtfo. You ain’t gotta agree, but you damn well better be respecting that platform.
I dont respect you, your idols, the platform, or your toxic culture you criminal piece of shit. Kiss my ass.
He just now realizing that the Democrats don’t give a fuck about us Americans, they’re worried about how to take over D.C this year, so they can rewrite their own laws and take whatever they don’t want from us. They’re wanting Biden in so bad, they’re going to find a way to cheat this election, like mail in voting, Covid 19 and staging George Floyd’s death and at first Biden said he would defund a little bit from police depts, but now, he’s saying Trump is going to defund the police? That muthafucka can’t remember a damn thing and also makes racist statement’s. And Trump is the so called racist….
Oprah is richer than me. Tyler Perry is richer than me. LeBra James is richer than me. WTF? I thought all blacks were oppressed!? How is that possible!? They need to share the wealth a little according to Ice Cubes thought process, and so does he. He needs to share the wealth that he worked for. Where is Ice Cube when Compton is being taken over by El Salvador and Guatemala? Blacks are now living in tents there while illegals eat up anything Gavin Newsom throws at them. I have never seen so many displaced blacks in my life as today. All under DEMOCRAT control in DEMOCRAP run sheet holes like Compton and LA. People need to understand we have equal opportunity but that doesn’t guarantee equal outcome. The hypocrite Democrat party voters need to look around and see how bad things are all done by the hands of the crooks they Stan for.
Why doesn’t Ice Cube criticize Joe Biden for his ‘you ain’t black’ comment? Or what about that bs he said that Hispanics are more diverse thinkers than blacks. What a joke. If a Republican presidential candidate said any of that the left would be in full meltdown mode burning buildings, screaming in elevators, tearing down statues, throwing balloons filled with shit and piss at cops, you known their usual tactics.
Funny to hear a republican racist complain that a racist rapper does not complain about Biden’s racist remarks. Dumbos are a dime a dozen these days.
A racist is someone that benefits from a system designed by them for them that believes there superior to other races for whatever reason. A prejudice dislikes a particular person or group for idealogy appearance etc.. Cube by definition cant be a racist rapper its impossible he’s part of the system & receives crumbs prejudice might be more likely & he has every right to
My Ballz Hurt
what’s this homey on. democrats may not seem to be concerned as ice sees it but out there in society you can tell things are changing favouring black people. they get most of the women at another race’s expense. they want the women to cheat, some of them, and really deal a blow to a man who isn’t of colour. their mutual love is grown from hate. i have experienced this myself and i have just had to take it on the chin. i mean hell i am one man i see things changing for black people just becoming more respected trying to reform themselves but few and far between blacks want equality but it appears to me from my perspective they want to be supreme. i don’t know about others, but that is how i see it. no disrespect toward ice cube or anything.
What do yall get after trumps gone? Well good old racist biden will make sure we all live in chaos as he stands with the Blm/LGBT homos that are in the middle of destroying your country and are part. of the same colt that came up with the agenda in the first place, well cube now I know what side your on and it’s not on Gods side too bad I respected you.
The best is yet to come
While BLM org rakes in billions with no accountability you are asking wheres the bailout for black Americans? Wheres the bailout for all Americans? Cause someones white they are tied in to corporate bailouts and they reap the benefits of being white? This world is hard, life is hard. Stop asking where is our help, Ice Cube from my view you dont look real oppressed tweeting from your mansion. How about that? You can spit some rhymes and turn yourself into a millionare. Please gives us all that oppression. Try that in another country see if it works. If you dont like it here leave, just like everyone else that hates being somewhere so they leave. Your only message is what do we get given to us? Whats the president gonna give us? FOH. Ice Cube has lost touch w reality. YOU ARE WHAT YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT.
Lower taxes is probably the best the African American community can hope for. Same probably goes for the White American community. Vote accordingly. Black America should be aware that votes are about numbers and with the Hispanic community overtaking in terms of numbers, they will be the new Black vote.
youre not a Democrat then, they’ve never come across a tax they don’t like
shut up, antisemite.
Much respect to the OG!!
Cube is wising up and getting red pilled?
