Following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention, rapper Ice Cube took to Twitter to remind his followers that the Democratic Party failed to explain how they would help the black community. Instead of instantly giving a vote to those with a 'D' behind their name, Ice Cube said politicians have to "earn the vote" from members of the black community.
"What I didn't hear is, what's in it for us? What's in it for the black community besides the same ol' thang we've been getting from these parties?" he asked. "What's in it for us, for real?"
Instead of providing any policy proposals, the Democrats are focused on ousting President Donald Trump. According to the rapper, Democrats haven't thought much beyond that, especially on the policy front, something former Bernie Sanders spokeswoman took issue with as well.
"The way it look, they don't have a plan. Everybody's talking about 'Get Trump out. Get Trump out. Get Trump out.' If you vote, that's going to happen on the first day. So now what?" the rapper asked rhetorically. "Trump out, now what? What? What do we get on the first 100 days? That's what we're trying to figure out. What. Do. We. Actually get that we, that they could give us overnight?"
Ice Cube chided Congress for "pulling $3 trillion out they a**" as part of the Wuhan coronavirus stimulus relief package (although it's actually $2 trillion) that went to the majority of Americans. Despite the stimulus, he said "42 percent of black businesses closing."
The rapper took issue with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, which was designed to provide relief to small businesses across the nation. Instead, some places, like Planned Parenthood, Harvard and even a law firm Biden founded, received funding as part of the program.
"None of that money—where’s our f***ing bailout? Where’s the bailout, not the PPP loan that they didn’t give us? Where’s the bailout?” he asked. “I don’t wanna hear about deficit. I don’t wanna hear about what our generation is going to have to pay. Because if we don’t have s**t, they ain’t going to have s**t anyway to pay nothing. So we gotta start something right now.”

So how the hell are you going to vote for them? Make them earn that vote. They can start today. They ain’t got it yet. They can start today. Make their a** earn that vote, man. Stop playing with these people and they’ll stop playing with you," Ice Cube said.
When is Mr. Cube speaking at the RNC?
The only thing that government can truly do for any community or racial group is to protect their rights, defend their nation’s border and otherwise get out of their way so that they can do the hard work to be prosperous if they so choose.
HOORAY Ice Cube. Thank you, sir. Bury the SWAMP-STATE RATS in November. We can cheese out the remaining RATS in subsequent elections.
Lock arms, ammo and best ideas with brothers and sisters in city, suburb and countryside.

The Republicans see that the Democrats get 90% + of the black vote, and they surmise that if they just act a little more like Democrats, they can peel away some of that support. The defining principle of the Republican Party is fear over being called a “racist” or some similar made up concept.
The amazing thing is how Obama made blacks into second class minorities in their own country, and they still think he was good for them. It would be comical if the consequences weren’t so sad.
Our response to the democrats, whenever they talk about high incarceration of black and brown people or many other topics, should be “What are you waiting for? You run these cities where this is happening. Why wait until January? Fix the problems now.”

It’s fun to watch and listen to a liberal have his/her nose rubbed the shit they and their votes have created.
Committed to forever being “other.”
i’ll believe we have a chance when they stop killing each other.
Um, I know some “WP” folks who didn’t get any help the last go around. So it ain’t systemic anything against ‘poc’. How many bidnesses did icey help out? Waiting. Side note. The dems have done this since their inception. Promises made, promises denied.
Jobs or mobs. Your choice 11/3/2020.
Just Imagine the disappointment Malcolm X would have felt in Obama. Barack was the perfect Liberal Fox placed like a puppet in front of the black community.
Gee. Do you think that blacks are figuring it out. That the liberals herd their kids into dysfunctional, union controlled , patronage laden cesspools labeled schools while the liberal’s kids ( if they have any) kids end up in first class institutions. Or that the liberals locate their genocidal, culture killing abortion clinics in predominantly black neighborhoods. Or just maybe they are realizing that their ministers are as corrupt as sin and sell their influence for a paltry few pieces of silver to the liberals. Maybe, just maybe, they are figuring it out.
Interesting. The black community is starting to notice that every four years the Dems throw out the same old empty promises.
The Cube family should be proud.
President Trump has done a lot. But the media refuses to cover any of it.
First Kanye, now him. Never heard of Ice Cube, so had to look him up. I had him confused with Ice-T, who I liked on Law & Order which we stopped watching five years ago. His character was a Republican, I recall.
President Trump has a D in the front of his name and has really tried to make America Great for the entire alphabet.
Mr. Cube is an antisemite and the Republicans should avoid having this racist hate monger at their convention.
Well this year they promised to put a woman of color on the ticket and India is so proud!
