A lot of Black people/African Americans are upset with Ice Cube because President Donald Trump party (The Republicans) tweeted that Ice Cube met with them. Ice Cube said on his interview with Roland Martin that he never personally met President Donald Trump, he never been to the White House, and he never met the woman with Donald Trump party who made the tweet.
Black people/African Americans who are hoping Joe Biden, (Democrat president candidate) wins the election. They, (Black people/African Americans) feel Ice Cube betrayed them and sold them out. When Ice Cube said for months, that, he has a contract with Black America for both parties. The Democrats or Republicans, whoever is willing to work with him on it. This contract with Black America is for us…. After George Floyd was murdered by police officers, Ice Cube was inspired to come up with the contract.
Ice Cube became conscious in late 80’s or early 90’s after hearing a cassette tape, which was a lecture by Doctor Khalid Muhammad, who was a Minister in the Nation of Islam under The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and he later became the New Black Panther Party National Chairman. Ice Cube would later meet Doctor. Khalid Muhammad in person and he invited Doctor Khalid Muhammad to do small lectures on his album Death Certificate where Ice Cube began dropping knowledge, a message in his lyrics.
Ice Cube would later meet The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and other prominent members in the Nation of Islam. Those of us who was or is Ice Cube fans could tell his mind and his eyes was open, especially by listening to the words that came out his mouth. Either in his interviews or through his rap lyrics.
I truly think it is hypocritical how Black people/African Americans are quick to condemn and want to cancel Ice Cube for wanting something that is best for us all and he is using his platform to present it. Ice Cube contract with Black America is as what The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has being saying for many years, “Put The Muslim Program Before Congress.” If you never read the Nation of Islam Muslim Program, please do so!! The Black Panther Party in the 60’s had something similar called: “The Ten Point Program.”
For the Black people/African Americans who are proud Democrats, please DO NOT FORGET you all used to be Republicans!! If you did not know, please read below:
“Black voters began supporting the Democratic party in greater numbers almost a century ago. But the events of 1964 marked a dramatic shift in voting patterns that's still with us today. A More Even Distribution Vincent Hutchings, a political scientist who studies voter patterns at the University of Michigan, says the first major shift in black party affiliation away from the Republican Party happened during the Depression. Franklin Roosevelt's second administration — led by the New Deal — made the Democrats a beacon for black Americans deeply affected by the crushing poverty that was plaguing the country.” – Karen G.
