The division was brought to us, not created by us.

Why do we have to share everything with everybody?

Focus on getting it first before starting hostilities with other people. I swear some of y’all act like white conservatives who oppose government programs because they might benefit black people.

You're not wrong, but it's much better than just repeating abstract statements like "black lives should matter" without demanding specific, tangible actions. Identifying what measurable actions you're fighting for specifically is important, and not many high profile Black people are using their platform to demand specific actions like the ones in the document. They're mostly just repeating abstract slogans which will be placated with abstract policies that deliver little actual results to Black people.

Every Black celebrity should share it, just like they'd share it if it was for LGBT.

In my opinion it was a hell of a write up. It was basically a well thought out plan unlike many of these talking heads and regular folks on social media. I like that he actually broke it down in every category and actually stated facts from a present and historical standpoint.

Knowing his history he probably got some feedback from elders and others as he put this plan to action.

Here is the thing of course most likely all this won't be implemented. But as he said this is a starting point to start discussion and hopefully the people (which means us regular folks) will take action and pressure local, state, federal and corporations to put policies on place.

Also wanted to point out as soon as the protests started in Minnesota. Cube posted online with a screen shot of multiple consumer based multi-national companies and some CEOs. He stated if you tired of this racism let them know (as in boycotting). Now this was even before folks online were even trending on twitter to start boycotting after the protests and even before all these corporations started to make their BLM comments so as to not get hurt financially.

But I wouldn't expect less from cube. He was talking about boycotting folks back when he was a young rapper. I remember he told St. Ides he would only sign with them if they invested in black neighborhoods. Cube was able to get St. Ides funnel money to different programs in black communities in LA and Baltimore.

I just read it (I read fast asf) and it’s nothing but facts. Well put together. I’m glad he mentioned red lining and the under represented figures in black home ownership and also spoke on the military (the two avenues from poverty to middle class).


Topics he really ain’t speak on that I would add is canceling of student loan debt, checks and balances over policing, defunding police departments, etc etc. But overall I agree with the O.G.

Yep these are big and is never discussed online. But even musically cube has always called out the military and how blacks make up a considerable amount if the enrollment. Yet don't get the full benefits of the government.

But he is right about everything in the write up. Also 5 percent of DoD spending invested in black communities is huge. 5% of 700 billion defense buget is a nice chunk of change.

Just in case y'all forgot

Cube is the GOAT. And if he's not in your Hip Hop Mount Rushmore u are either a Cac(orJew) or a c00n, or just too young

Breh many of these young kats on here have no idea. Folks gonna think Cube some Johnny come lately on this. When he been talking about this same shyt for 30 years on rap tracks and in interviews.

I mean you can literally take his 3 albums.. americas most wanted, death certificate and predator and it talks about all this shyt laid out in his plan. And them albums came out 25 plus years ago.

This shyt just going over these kats heads.
