Democrats?
The COONS and Cube BALL LICKERS will avoid this thread. Back in Sept Kamala , Killer Mike, DL and Snoop invited Cube to a zoom call which he refused

No, I haven't read the contract. Honestly, I wasn't even aware that Ice Cube wrote a contract. I thought he signed on to Trump's plan. I do not follow celebrities and could care less about his opinion. Who made him spokesman for all black people?
Why let yourself be taken advantage of by Trump? Trump's whole popularity with white people is because of his racism. Why would he do anything to lose out on that adoration from racists which he constantly needs? Trump is a narcissus who's sole drive is his ego.
If they take power then apply pressure daily..be just as aggressive in the mid-terms and electing Obama or removing Trump.
And stay in their asses.
i have no issues and agree with making them earn votes but do it before they are seeking election......make votes depend on records/actions and not on campaign promises.
I didn't support Biden because Biden is a moderate left-center democrat but since he won Trump has to go and Biden gets 4 years and the democrats will be judged by him and many have 2 years if they get the senate back.
I doubt Biden even runs in 2024 but his 4 years will be a measure of Kamala's support.
Personally, I want to see all the center-left democrats gone and would prefer the democrats get their identity back and stop believing that liberal is a slur
His plan is not his alone. He collaborated with other people more qualified than him. One adviser was Dr. Claud Anderson for example.
Stop subscribing to "Its the Democrats way or the highway". As Malcom said " We ain't got no friends".
Cube has a strictly black agenda and whoever listens and helps, then thats who we need to be talking to.
Man, if people would just learn a little history, they would see things that are happening today in a whole different light. This is also why Fred Hampton was murdered. Trying to unify blacks and poor white is the exact opposite of what the U.S. wants.
No disrespect, but you are the perfect example of most people on this board and some in the world. Why not even take a few moments to read it? How can you complain and be against something that you yourself don't even know about? All the information many on this board has is hearsay.
Second, he never proclaimed to be the spokesman for all black people. Was MLK or Malcolm X the spokesman for all black people? Was it the NAACP, SNCC, SCLC, NIO, CORE, the panthers?? We were cool with Ali, Dick Gregory, Nina Symone, Paul Roberson, Harry Belefonte, Kareem, Jim Brown, and a whole list of others standing up, making comments, speaking with politicians. All of them including MLK and X had scandalous pasts. Why are things so different now?
Cot damn it, this is just a man who is trying to move the needle. We are so lost and so far removed from history we are beginning to repeat mistakes.
Yeah ok,and this coming from a Trumptard. Just because I'm not to replying to the coons and cacs bullshit holds no weight. I said what I saidThis thread didn't go so well for the OP did it?
Ice Cube is getting used. Trump wants to peel off Black votes from Biden. It's that simple.
If it was such a great idea hooking up with Trump why was Cube adamant about NOT being seen at the White House?
Here's a look at how it all took shape. It's the relationships of people around Ice Cube that made the meeting happen.
If ANY OF YOU actually think Bannon, Kushner and Trump want to help Black America out of the goodness in their heart-
check this:
www.politico.com
The talks began in late August, after Ice Cube took to Twitter to promote his newly released plan. To the surprise of the president’s aides, it seemed possible the 51-year-old entertainer and businessman, who earlier this year called for exempting African Americans from paying income taxes, would be open to their overtures. In a video released alongside his proposal, he said he’d been watching the Democratic National Convention and that “from the way it look, they don’t have a plan.”
“What I didn’t hear is, what’s in it for us? What’s in it for the Black community besides the same old thing we’ve been getting from these parties? What’s in it for us for real?” he added.
As it turned out, Ken Kurson, a friend of Kushner's who served as editor-in-chief of the New York Observer when the Trump aide was publisher, had a connection to Ice Cube. Kurson had known Ice Cube's business partner Jeff Kwatinetz since the 1990s, when Kurson was bassist for the Chicago indy rock group Green.
In August, Kurson sent Kushner a text message. Forging a partnership with Ice Cube, he wrote, could be a plus for the White House. Kurson, whose website tracks the music scene, noted that Ice Cube had major sway in the Black community, adding that he considered N.W.A’s 1988 album “Straight Outta Compton” — Ice Cube was a core member of the gangsta rap group — “to be a work of American genius on par with” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” and George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.”
Kwatinetz, who’s represented the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias and is a former business partner of former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, was invited to the White House in early September.
Participants said the multihour discussion focused on policy and didn't touch the campaign. Kwatinetz lobbied for Ice Cube’s proposal, stressing that he was particularly focused on addressing the wealth gap between African Americans and whites.
Ice Cube did not attend the meeting, wanting to know the White House was serious about his proposal and wasn't simply using him for an election season photo op.
Over the Labor Day weekend, Kurson and his wife invited Kwatinetz to Bedminster. Kushner stopped by their table to chat as they ate.
Democrats, too, were interested in cultivating the rapper. On Sept. 8, Cube and his team had a conversation over Zoom with Biden’s campaign, which was represented by Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and senior adviser Symone Sanders.
But Ice Cube’s team left with the impression that Biden’s team was less committed. According to a person familiar with the discussion, Biden aides told the rapper they agreed with much of his plan but that they wouldn’t engage more fully until after the election. Kamau Marshall, the Biden campaign’s director of strategic communications, did not deny the account but said Trump “does not have a record to stand on when it comes to the Black community.”
Here's the contract link. No, I haven't read it yet.
Just this part on the landing page; if they actually think it will happen they're setting themselves up for disappointment:
(probably the part Trump's people didn't agree with)
"...To address racial inequality, after reading the Contract with Black America, we the undersigned agree to support and demand an open debate and a clear and fair vote within the first 100 days of the 117th Congress in 2021 on the following proposals to be codified into specific bills. "

This bitch I fucked on the first date wanted me to take her on trips and spoil her after I had already fucked.
I told that bitch why would I do that? I already got the pussy and head.
I have no reason to wine and dine you hoe. You lost your leverage.
In the scenario above, your the bitch.
To all the folks on Cube's side, I'd like to know, what has he accomplished in all this?
He said he heard from both Trump's folks and Biden's folks and his only dissent was the Biden folks said "holler at me after the election" while Trump was more cooperative to adopt parts of his plan. Well, we're a week away from the election, Trump ain't moved nowhere on passing none of that shit in the CWBA and Mitch McConnell took his ball and went home for two weeks after he got his SCOTUS confirmation. It turns out, shit wouldn't have gotten done until after the election either way so again, I need to know what has Cube accomplished in doing all of this? It's clear what the Trump folks got out of him. What did he get?

I recognize that everyone does not read every thread, so I will repeat this again.
The funding for HBCUs, Opportunity Zones and the First Step act for which Trump takes credit were all ideas and bills lead by black democratic politicians. Why did he sign these into law? Especially since he hates black folk. It's because he trying to gain favor and sometimes there is too much pressure to say no. This is exactly how the civil rights bill got passed, even with 33% of Democrats voting no. Racist LBJ still signed it, not because he wanted to do something for black people, but because he had little choice.
Cube is trying to follow in this direction, ask for real things, not just say "treat us better." Congress can write up bills, vote, and present them to be signed, this is how it works.
Lastly, and I think this is an important note, the Democrats could have easily read the CWBA and said we like what you have here, we commit to doing xyz. But they didn't. Why? Because they do not want to be on record saying they are going to do anything specifically for black people because they do not want to make their other groups mad..........LGBTQ, white women, immigrants, etc.
This is the hard truth. I get it, they are playing politics. They have black votes already so why commit to anything when they have sooooo many other people they need to appease?

How familiar are you with the term "Southern Strategy"? Republican strategist/historian Kevin Phillips is generally considered the creator of the term. He doesn't like being associated with it. He claims that in creating the term "Southern Strategy" he was not creating it as a strategy or game plan. He claims that he was simply pointing out that as more blacks became Democrats, white people were going to leave the party. You didn't have to do anything else, white people were going to vote Republican just because they didn't want to be in the same political party as blacks.
Why would a pathological narcissist like Trump give up the very thing he is adored for?
You are trying to think about this as a black man. Black man logic doesn't work. You have to think about this as a white politician. It will make waaaaay more sense when you do.
Fucka cube and snoop dawg
This all that matters
Fam... Cube got played. Ice Cube is only 10 years older then me... Donald Trump has been in the public eye for both of our entire lives .... The one thing you can say about Donald is he is the same dude now as he was back in the 80s. Donald trump only cares about Donald Trump. Cube should have known that Donald was going to do exactly what he did..... Use Cube to try and get Black votes.
Talking to Donald about this Contract for Black America was going to go no where.
Like has anybody even looked at his contract...
And this is why I keep saying
Cube fell right into this shit and the fact that a 51 year old grown man fell into one of the most obvious fucking traps in the world is fucking troubling
Also did @Deputy dawg’s post fucking say that Cube business partner is also a former business partner of Steve Brannon
Ive got like 20 questions.
Bruh, I've been saying this for yrs. Our people have been infiltrated by the tv, all forms of media, movie, music and sports industries!!! Whatever they see on TV or what cnn, abc, msnbc and the other 3 corporations says. They don't question it, if that sellout snoop says something they believe it, or if Bill cosby says something they act like he's their grandfather and listen to him but don't know 2 fucking things about him.. Bruh, we're surrounded by a lot of brainwashed, mindfucked, programmed people who are under the american dream trance and they haven't got nothing from this country since it began!! But they love being told lies and false hopes!! So let em be, they will figure it out one-day,, maybe!!
Classic!! Ain't that the truth!!- Good post
I've ask and never got a answer.. Name 5 ACTS that the presidents have signed that have uplift our people??
Yall are mad at a plan.... A damn PLAN!!
We are DOOMED than a mf
We are DOOMED than a mf
Are the Democrats going to talk to him after the election?Fam... Cube got played. Ice Cube is only 10 years older then me... Donald Trump has been in the public eye for both of our entire lives ....

It's going to be different THIS time. You'll see.That shit never gets old.
As for Cube, who's the mack? Cat got played.
He'll be alright though. By the time Biden earns his badge on your picture, people will have forgotten all about this shit.
I don't know that. But if he is speaking for more than himself and they don't then vote them out in 2022 and 2024.
That doesn't necessarily mean the party but it does mean whoever is holding those seats.
Those protesting now shouldn't stop until changes are made. If legislation is proposed those that block it should be voted out.
Pressure shouldn't stop on the election of a president...
Like-minded people should run for the offices and they should be supported.
Stop thinking that the job is done on you vote once
I literally laughed out loud in the conference room before my 9am meeting.Cube didn't attend the meeting because all the other participants were capable of articulating their views in an intelligent fact based manner. Cube knew his de's, dos, dats and dems would expose him as the ignorant mush mouth clown he is.
Jeezy and Snoop are able to articulate views in an intelligent manner? To what avail? Nothing would have been accomplished except talk.
Commitment is what we are asking for. Why are democrats so afraid to commit?? Why are democrats so afraid to go on record and say we will do such and such for black people?? Why is that so hard?
It's because they do not want to upset all of the other groups within the Democratic base. This is an undeniable fact.
Snoop sounds like a Rhodes Scholar next to Cube. Compare the gains achieved under Democrats compared to Republicans and you'll be hard pressed to find any meaningful benefit the Republican Party can claim credit for. You should judge both parties not by what that say, rather than by what they actually do.
Cats was telling me about “urban renewal” and Obama big brother project or some fuckery
That shit never gets old.
As for Cube, who's the mack? Cat got played.
Yes I get all of that, but my question was really in reference to the "Platinum Plan". Is Joe Biden going to meet with Cube after the election? He talked to "Cardi B" about her plan so surely he'll have a few minutes for Cube... assumptions...
Jared Kushner deserves an Emmy Award
www.cnn.com
You have to hand it to Jared Kushner.
There isn't yet an Emmy Award for "Excellence in Cramming an Unprecedented Number of Half-truths, Dog Whistles and Red Herrings About Race Into One Sixty-Second Soliloquy (Morning TV News)," but Emmys, if you were watching, you found your winner this week.
It all started in response to a question from Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade about a recent policy meeting between Kushner and gangsta rapper-turned zany bumbling big-screen dad, Ice Cube. "We connected through some mutual friends," Kushner started.
(Really, I'm just curious who is friends with both Kushner and the guy who wrote "F*** Tha Police," but I digress.)
Kushner then pivoted from responding to a legitimate question about the meeting to spitting out a dizzying jumble of words dripping with racial grievance. It was so chock-full that it can only be done justice by being broken apart, line by line.
Kushner: "One thing we've seen a lot in the Black community, which is mostly Democrat..."
Here we go. Anyone looking for sincere comments about race from the First Son-In-Law could have tuned out here. This isn't about racial reconciliation, but about owning the libs.
"President Trump's policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they're complaining about."
Trump's policies? The tax cuts that disproportionately benefited whites over Blacks? The revoking of rules focused on reducing racial bias in school discipline? The literal endorsement of police brutality? The push to repeal the Affordable Care Act -- a decision that will disproportionately harm Black people?
Economic inequality, disparate treatment, police brutality, unequal access to health care -- the kinds of ills Mr. Kushner will never face -- are the very systemic issues Blacks have been "complaining" about for generations. By no objective measure has the President's policies made them better in any meaningful way.
"But he can't want them to be successful more than they want to be successful."
Anyone with a Black grandmother could have heard her responding to Kushner's line here with: "Oh, bless that boy's heart." Kushner's insult to Black people is rooted in lies -- the lie that we live in a pure meritocracy and the lie that systemic racism somehow does not exist and does not still plague us in 2020.
Of course, people should work hard and are responsible in some ways for their futures. But the data make obvious how systemic issues compound racial inequality in America. For instance, according to 2020 data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, lenders deny mortgages to Black applicants at a rate 80% higher than that of whites. There is a growing wage gap between Blacks and whites. According to a study by the Harvard Business School, even having a "Black-sounding" name on a resume can lead to fewer job interviews.
The disparities even stretch to the highest levels of the corporate world, where only three Fortune 500 companies have Black CEOs. A figure like that simply cannot be a function of Black executives not trying hard enough. And as a former prosecutor, I should mention clear racial disparities in policing and sentencing. For instance, Blacks and whites use marijuana at about the same rate, yet blacks remain 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession. I could go on and on.
Kushner's point, echoed by so many, pins blame for America's yawning inequality on the wrong people.
"And what you're seeing throughout the country now is a groundswell of support in the black community..."
According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, Biden leads Trump among Black voters 81% to 5%.
"...because they're realizing that all the different bad things that the media and the Democrats have said about President Trump are not true..."
This line just recycles an old presidential lie.
"...and so, they're seeing that he's actually delivered, he's put up results."
It is hard to view this statement outside of the context of the President's repeated claim that he has done more for Black people than any other President than Lincoln. While we have certainly had Presidents who behaved in a more overtly racist manner than Trump (starting with slaveholders Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Polk, Taylor, Johnson and Grant), it is an insult to suggest that somehow President Trump belongs in a special class.
Trump certainly deserves credit for signing a sentencing reform bill. But let's not get carried away. President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race.
Or, to be blunt, simply by being the only Black man to ever ascend to the presidency, Barack Obama has done more for Black people than Donald Trump ever will in his life. Nothing will ever change that.
"Unlike most politicians who have been in Washington for decades who talk and say all the right things President Trump may not always say the right things, but he does the right things."
Whether Trump does the right things is a question for voters to decide next week. But let's agree with Kushner on one point: Trump certainly doesn't always say the right things. He has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims since taking office. And to top it off, Kushner's comments are the latest example of an ally of the President giving a pass to his birtherism, bullying and bigotry as just "not saying the right things" or speaking his mind.
It is hard to see Kushner's comments as anything other than an attempt to solidify President Trump's white-male base the week before an election. But it's remarkable to see how a series of tossed off comments that were supposed to be a list of accomplishments could have been so ignorant, deceitful and insulting to Black people at the same time.

There is no reason to assume he won't.... but who knows who he chooses to meet with....Obama meets with Warren Balentine and Joe Madison and Sharpton but didn't meet with Cornel West.
As I said its all about pressure. If voters demand he meets with Cube he will......
But to be clear. He didn't meet with Cardi B as her being an activist he was interviewed by her....So is Cube asking for an Interview ...
Shit is sad. And they gotta live with those choices and stigma when this election is over.
You are a textbook example of dodging questions.Snoop sounds like a Rhodes Scholar next to Cube. Compare the gains achieved under Democrats compared to Republicans and you'll be hard pressed to find any meaningful benefit the Republican Party can claim credit for. You should judge both parties not by what that say, rather than by what they actually do.
I will ask again....
Why are democrats so afraid to commit?? Why are democrats so afraid to go on record and say we will do such and such for black people?? Why is that so hard?

We are you so afraid to go on the record and say that the Republican Party has done close to nothing to advance the interests of black people other than paying lip service backed up by no evidence to the contrary? Having never met you I'd still be willing to bet based on your comments you're just one of those boujee Kneegros whom white folks have given a "position", not power just a position, and at your 9:00 am meeting you're just the quota spook they allow to sit in.

Still dodging. I have answered every question from everyone who directed questions my way. If I missed any its probably because there are so many dead bodies in the wake I just missed it.And you're a textbook example of evasion.

Now, to answer your question, the reason republican qont go on the record and "and say that the Republican Party has done close to nothing to advance the interests of black people other than paying lip service backed up by no evidence to the contrary?" Is because they do not believe that to be the case.
I will list these yet again in case you missed it. These are a few things that republicans are on record for doing for black folk:
- The First step act in which 91% of people freed were black
- Opportunity Zones where businesses are being developed nationwide in low income areas.
- Permanent funding for HBCUs. HBCUs used to have to beg for funding every year.
- 300 million of loans were forgiven for HBCUs.
- A bunch of people pardoned and released including Alice Marie Johnson, who Obama wouldn't pardon.
Now to be preemptive to any, "well he didn't write the acts" rebuttal, let me say this, Obama did not write the ACA, but we give him all of the credit. Why is this different??
I'm still not voting for Trump, but I do believe in being honest and fair and giving credit were credit is due.
Now, again I ask....

You obviously didn't read this. Lol!!!
It's a minority and people of color pledge. The language never says this is for African Americans. It always says AA and others. Or increase such and such which will help AAs. Cant pull one on me.
Nonetheless, I would be pleased with at least half of this if it does positively affect Black folk.
But, I must say, they are being very secretive about it. Never hwar any of this in public. And that portion of the website was added this week. Two weeks before the election. Thats kinda crazy.
