Black Twitter finally realizes Ice Cube was making sense (@ExodusNirvana spazzing for no reason lol

So we should be satisfied with crumbs? Stop defending this dudes. If you had an employee performing poorly, you wouldn’t say, well at least he is getting 30% of his tasks completed.

There is nothing wrong with making demands and complaining. It’s actually healthy for the system.

you’re jumping from concussion to conclusion.

I don’t disagree about making demands of the system.

And I never said anything about accepting crumbs.

My point is that, there’s no both sides here. The other side doesn’t want to give you squat.

Not participating in the system as a form of temper tantrum doesn’t get you any close to your goals.

All points that have been made here multiple times. This isn’t new ground. Dems being bad at governing isn’t new ground. Dems promising more than they can deliver isn’t new ground.

But yah. Don’t vote. Maybe then the people who don’t want you to vote will want your vote. Or maybe the people who want your vote but can’t govern will suddenly be able to govern. This is magical thinking. Politics is driven by money and effort. You cannot refuse to participate your way to happiness.

*yawn*

@ExodusNirvana is indeed spazzing

But the fact that yall can't answer him is a pretty big deal. Politics only matter every presidential election for your average TLR dullard

It doesn’t have to be a “both sides” thing either. How about getting behind the Democratic politicians who speak to you and your issues and try to get them in.

I mean you’re free to leave the thread.

Think about how ridiculous you are acting right now. Do you go around in real life interrupting groups of people and telling them what they should be discussing? So ridiculous. If you don’t like the topic

@ExodusNirvana USED to be a moderator but he got FIRED for being in his feelings on the mod panel. too many complaints about being overemotional. this is nothing new.

You have to understand how the government works to realize this though. I don't think most of these dudes do. They just read headlines and assume that Biden is President so he can pass anything he wants. This is more of a failing of the school system than anything. Most of the people complaining about the bill being stripped down don't know who Manchin and Sinema are, and probably dont understand how the checks and balances work. Biden has been fighting those two for months now to pass the stuff he promised but the President isnt a king, and so if we only have a tie in the Senate, and two cacs wont vote for everything, this is what we get. Plenty of positive stuff is still in the bill, but the rest will have to wait until we win enough seats to vote over Sinema and Manchin.

I'm sure the goalposts will just move though.

To be fair, going from Trump being the boogeyman to Manchin/Sinema is moving the goal posts. The next move will be the 2024 Republican candidate.

I agree Manchin/Sinema are problems but also seems like there's always something in the way. Also, Biden has endorsed Sinema in the past.

Sorry breh but it was the timing that gave away this sort of bad faith "my people" charlatan act. If folks like Cube and Yvette Carnell want to be taken seriously as provocative advocates for the political goals and strategies of the black community then they need to put their money when their mouth is and be about it 100% all day everyday.

The fact that Cube all of a sudden has no interest in this now that the election is done tells you how insincere he really is about pushing for our political goals. At the very least he should be front and center spending money and pushing folks across the country to call their senators and demand they include and support spending for the black community in this halted infrastructure bill, let alone funding lobbyists and what not. But now that the election is done, nothing. No more work to do. Instead hes holding on to his money, filming new movies, back to living his life without a care for the black community now that there aint an election to stick his nose in and roleplay as a militant for the political benefit of Republicans.

Cube aint do anything smart or provocative. He waited until the eve of an election to go on damn Twitter and rally people against voting Democrat while speaking positively of Donald fukking Trump, sprinkled wit some vague faux militant talking point we hear from idiots all the time. His goal was to reach out to black folks and engineer voter turnout in favor of Donald Trump at the very last minute under this guise of looking out for the political interests of black people. Mission failed and suddenly he has no interest in engaging with politicians. It couldnt have been more obvious.

And had he been successful--low black voter turnout over "demands" kept Georgia and Arizona red, and Trump wins a second term--the maniac would be spreading covid, defending white power insurrectionists, equipping cops, talking about his third term, embracing his image as a "law and order" strongman jusf as he ran on, and wiping his ass with that platinum plan. Screwing over Cube once he got what he wants, just as he does with everyone he crosses path with. But some of yall dummie still talking about "whats wrong with working with him?" Ask Michael Cohen. Ask Rex Tillerson. Ask General Kelly. Ask Omarosa what happens when you "work with Trump" on anything, let alone finding his generous soft spot for "the blacks." It was all bullshyt man. Cube is either a complete naive fool who needs to stay away from politics....or....he was literally "working with Trump."

Same with Yvette Carnell. You dont hear shyt about her no more besides the same lazy takes on Twitter. No one could even be bothered to talk about that 2nd annual "ADOS conference" now that Trump is gone. Promoted that hashtag all over the place in the years leading up to 2020 then couldn't be bothered once Biden won.

These types are also very selective and obviously biased in their concern for black people. If youre truly for black people in this country then how can you ignore the Republican Party and only speak out against Democrats? And no the fact that we vote overwhelmingly Democrat does not mean the other side, their political actions, abd the stakes of every election doesnt exist. Thats Coli logic. If you got a mouthful about what a Democrat win means for black people because they dont commit human rights violations against immigrants and we havent pigeonheld them to wildly unpopular multi-trillion dollar policy proposals exclusively to black people yet, but you dont have a word to say about the active efforts to systematically and eventually destroy any and all black power in this country by the Republican Party then you do not give a shyt about us. Just being a sideline contrarian for attention. Some of these dudes even push it to "whats wrong with voting Republican?" Ive seen nikkas here say "immigrants are anti-black and dont support us" and then in the same post passively align themselves with "conservatives." That should show you how genuine people are with these political takes. How the hell do you criticize immigrants as a whole for being unsupportive and against black people and then suggest we support the most historically and visibly unsupportive anti-black group of them all?

These type of people are not genuine. They know they are just using the internet to try and influence elections and engineer vote turnout and public opinion against Democrats. They are not on some crusade for black political interest cus if they were they wouldnt be so selective over who and what they criticize and they wouldnt wait every 4 years to get woke and "demand" shyt. Thats not how political goals works.

I don't assume any naivete from high-profile individuals when the stakes are this high, they know exactly what they're doing and the outcome they seek.

trump just threw Bill Barr under the table by accusing him of rigging the election for biden. Bill Barr, a dude whose killed many investigations into trumps criminal activities and the activities of his associates.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Cube dropped that bullshyt request a month before the election

 

[Brehcepticon]

He waited late in the game and sided with Trump who is a known liar.

If he really wanted to make that point he could've done it during the primaries when it would've made sense

 

[bnew]

Who cares…. Let’s these fools enjoy Biden….. im ballin so I could give a tick about gas and food prices going up. But I know that’s eating away at you mutherfukkers, if you actually care about your budget….

black wealth will go to negative by 2024z

is the pandemic priced into that prediction?

@ExodusNirvana is indeed spazzing

Real talk fam I need receipts

You got people in Washington pointing out that Facebook is knowingly allowing disinformation to prosper and spread throughout the entire world, let alone this country

Motherfukkers out here claiming the Earth is flat, we been in a pandemic for a year plus because these Elementary school dropouts out here claiming it's cause of 5G, they don't want to wear masks, they don't want to get vaxxed

This is REAL LIFE and the dumb shyt that gets perpetuated on social media gets trickled down to this message board and then further spread by these cats in their respective forms of social media and thus their communities

But....what are these people's communities? Where do they live? Who are their reps? What have they done to solve any of the issues in their communities? Who are their political representatives? Have they run to be political reps? Have they run to be a local rep or community leader of some sort? Who is the political opposition in their community? What have they done?

See if cats wanted to actually get shyt done, we could use the Coli to do that....we could organize, we could bring local issues to light, and those local issues then become national issues, and national issues that get solved

Instead they want to tapdance and c00n shuffle for celebs that are political neophytes or just give lip service to the Black community

I need receipts going forward and I'm calling posters out!

And you see the responses I'm getting...calling me all sorts of names but not answering SIMPLE questions

The mods don't give a fukks, admins don't give a fukk, I don't even think the site owner cares, but you and I both know, just off the strength of some of the bannings, THERE ARE WHITE SUPREMACISTS POSING TO BE BLACK on this site and perpetuating propaganda that ultimately leads to Black people suffering in this country and the world in general!

This ain't to you @Zero

THIS IS TO EVERYONE POSTING ANY KIND OF POLTICS ON THIS SITE! DO NOT fukkING QUOTE ME! DO NOT @ ME!

POST WHERE YOU'RE FROM, WHO ARE YOUR REPS, WHAT ARE THE ISSUES IN YOUR COMMUNITY! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO BRING THESE ISSUES TO YOUR POLITICAL REPS IN THE CURRENT POLITICAL SYSTEM!!

 

[Consigliere]

This is my problem with the way we talk about politics.

We need more Black men actively involved and running for office at every single level of the system.

The end.

 

[BaggerofTea]

Anyone whom thinks THIS is a good talking point is an IDIOT.
BIDEN blatantly told nikkas he wasn't doing shyt and corn balls actually thought that was a step up from what was already going on.

are you even black?

I dont know any black person who talks like this
