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

[Houston911]

Nah, I just don't associate with weak niccas like you I told you last night. You ain't even the type of "brotha" I would want on my team.

You a spineless nicca that won't even admit that you like Trump. Even your boy called you out about this last night.

You voted for John McCain

you shouldn’t even be using the word “nicca” you Tom

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

You voted for John McCain

you shouldn’t even be using the word “nicca” you Tom

and you're pushing Trump's MAGA message.

And for all your saying that you don't support Trump, all your posts sure get dapped by the brehs that DO support Trump.

Know why? Because your message and Trump's message is one and the same, you damn c00n.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

there are roughly 40 million black people i. America and roughly 240 million whites

how many whites have never purchased a home? How many blacks have never purchased a home?

which group do you think will have more people benefit from this program?

nice program, but this is an example of “let’s do something for everyone and not leave black people out”

that’s not a plan for black people bruh

• Help families buy their first homes and build wealth by creating a new refundable, advanceable tax credit of up to $15,000. Biden’s new First Down Payment Tax Credit will help families offset the costs of homebuying and help millions of families lay down roots for the first time. Building off of a temporary tax credit expanded as part of the Recovery Act, this tax credit will be permanent and advanceable, meaning that homebuyers receive the tax credit when they make the purchase instead of waiting to receive the assistance when they file taxes the following year.

I'll say it again...if you're starving are you turning down a sandwich just because the person starving next to you gets offered one too? I'm not starving to death on purpose for that kind of principal.

Did you not see where I said it's a nice plan? It just isn't a plan FOR BLACK PEOPLE

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

I agree with him

But it's on us to raise hell everyday, not just every general election cycle


There needs to be a hostile takeover of one of these parties geared towards our collective interests similar to the Tea party movement that forced the GOP's hand

that's because he has no principle, breh.

I mean, let's be real here. The argument you gave... if I'm starving and this cac next to me is starving, and I'm only going to get offered a sandwich if the cac next to me gets one too...

am I going to die of hunger for some principle?

you know the answer to that and so do I. That fool @Houston911 is pushing a NO VOTE message because he wants Trump to win. There's no other explanation. There's no other rational logic to his thought process, other than that he HAS to be supporting Trump.

Let's be real about this.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

which is the point that I was making earlier. I would have more respect for somebody like Cube if he wasn't waiting until now to bring this up.

Dude has literally been quiet for four years, but now he wants to talk stuff. Which shows that he doesn't even understand the political process in America... so why should I listen to him on anything?

 

[Po pimp]

and this is beneficial for black ppl?

more killings of us by police, COVID wiping us out in record numbers?

Please tell me I'm misunderstanding you here.

You asked me what changed between 2016 and 2020. Trump has been an epic failure. This should EASILY be a layup for Biden, but if they fail to do right by black voters (who have been their most loyal supporters), they’re done. This is the perfect time to make demands for us because they’re desperate. It’s the reason they’re resorting to fear tactics and shaming efforts because they don’t wanna do shyt for us. Thing is, we’ll allow it.

Your argument makes no sense, because if you feel that Trump has been an EPIC failure for black ppl during the last 4 years, then it stands to reason that it's only going to get worse over the next 4 years if he gets back in office.

If anything, it's US that's in the trick bag, not Democrats. Yes, Trump has been a failure for America, but as always, when something hits the country hard, it hits black ppl HARDER, which is evidenced by the economic fallout and the pandemic.

Your strategy is misguided, breh. In your strategy, black ppl are going to losing badly and our losses will only become worse.

Because, like alot of us, he sees us being pimped every 4 years and he's tired

It's pretty much a losing battle

And like alot of our community, he's reactionary


Being perpetual survivors has blinded us to the real danger of apathy

If we feel like we can survive anything, these local and federal skirmishes lose value


That's why fear based vote-shaming doesn't work as anything but an intellectual insult


We can only move forward with a comprehensive strategy for the game


Before, the Black church was sort of the touchstone for our collective cultural ideals

We need a new unifying body to push ideas because alot of our community subconsciously can't function without leadership

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Did you not see where I said it's a nice plan? It just isn't a plan FOR BLACK PEOPLE

And my point remains directed to those abstaining from voting until they get their ADOS only check.

Being reactionary ain't gon get us nowhere, boss.

and I agree with you that we need leadership. But the folks that are telling us not to vote in what's the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression ain't the answer.

Telling us not to vote when a pandemic is disproportionately killing US ain't the answer.

Telling us not to vote when the current president is actively trying to take away our rights to vote... AIN'T THE ANSWER. If we don't vote now, we probably won't be able to vote in the next 4 years

That's why I told him you don't sell someone a car by only telling them what's wrong with it. He's straddling the fence and his words don't align with his stated intent. If the goal is to get folk to vote Trump out he's hustling backwards only telling folk what's wrong with Biden..

Cause that ain't his goal.

So the idea is to just get Trump out of there first, THEN negotiate without any leverage? Once they’re elected, they don’t have to do shyt, and because they never promised you a thing, you can’t even say they lied to you.

We’ve been losing under every president regardless of whether they’re republican or democrat, so what do you expect to change by continuing to give your vote away for free?
