Bro Ice Cube Speaking On DNC Convention asks "What's In It For Us?"

[Pull Up the Roots]

Cube needs to run

He doesn't have to run. He could be using his money to organize towards those goals.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Now I know I’m on the right track.

what's wrong w/nina turner?

 

[Sex Luthor]

There's nothing wrong with Cube asking that question. I liked the point he made about small business. The problem is, if something, or multiple things actually happens, online militants will say it's not good enough. Especially the reparations or bust crowd.

One thing I think people need to understand is its not gonna happen over night. @Nobu put me on game about Asians getting reparations and it took a fight that lasted 25 years. We are gonna get reparations if we keep putting pressure to get it done. It won't happen over night so saying "reparations or no vote" or "fukk em if we don't get reparations now" isn't the way to go.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

He doesn't have to run. He could be using his money to organize towards those goals.

What has Cube ever done for the cause financially is my question.

"...what's in it for us...Democrats don't seem to have a plan"

I generally stay out of politics, but Joe Biden actually has a plan on his website and this is the title: LIFT EVERY VOICE: THE BIDEN PLAN FOR BLACK AMERICA. It addresses housing, lending, small-businesses, healthcare, retirement, criminal justice reform, voting rights, etc.

I'd also like to add that, while specific plans and legislation for black people is nice to have, we can't be so short-sighted to ignore everything else that the government has a hand in. As a person period, you'll be affected in some way by legislation and policies. I urge every voter to consider as much as possible.

The irony of you laughing at those three with a Gif of a former cop turned method actor/rapper just made me damn near choke on my drink

and I don't play the "don't vote!" or "vote trump" game on or offline...if a whole adult chooses to vote or not is on them

but using our vote as bargaining chips is an extremely ideal concept, and it's okay if you don't agree with it.

You can use for votes as bargaining chips but uts two way street.

Don’t vote and you run the chance of getting left behind. Paying taxes without representation is a bad position. Democrats could easily start moving right or pivoting towards the Hispanic community instead.

 

[The God Poster]

Can someone @ the idiots who found a problem with what Cube said ? I’m sure it’s a few fools in here .

I agree with everything he said . He called out both parties

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

What are you talking about? There's no either or in the House bill.

So the bill didn't have direct payment to citizens?

House approves bill to send $25 billion to Postal Service and halt changes

Do y’all think we getting a piece of that 25 billion

 

[DaHNIC82]

Yall Got me fukked up if yall think I'm gonna side with a peckerwood who brought the crime bill over the nikkah that made Amerikkas Most and Death Certificate.

However with that being said.. What is exactly wrong with questioning this shyt? Mofos want to submit their votes like suckers and ask or demand nothing.. The same way the latinos make them fight for votes and get tangables, Black folks need to do the same.

 

[IGSaint12]

DNC has a platform and policies that they want to make into law that would positively affect the black community. I guess if it doesn't say for black people only it doesn't matter to some of you.

You just forgot about the Cares act that awaits Senate to move on?

 

[Bunchy Carter]

I can admire Ice Cubes passion but he doesn’t seem to be able to think strategically. When the entire BLM/social justice movement is being used as scare tactics for certain white voters, what do you think they are going to be able to say as campaign promises for black america and still win? Biden already has said he supports reparations. We can put his feet to the fire if he gets elected. Alternatively we know that Republicans have sat on Reparation bills for damn near 4 years now.

He just has to be smarter.

I’m here. I have a problem because Cube:

1. Has a limited view of the American political system.

2. Clearly hasn’t done his research.

Trickle down effect ain't gon cut it this time around, FBA need their just due. Reparations are a must for them.
