t’s the optics and the timing of Ice Cube talking with trump that people are upset about than the actual substance of his agenda...Ice Cube presented both parties with his agenda...The Democrats told him ‘we’ll talk later’, while trump said ‘no, we’ll talk now’...The only reason trump wanted to talk to Cube now about an agenda that concerns Black people was for his own political benefit and to increase his polling numbers among Black men specifically and Black people in general, not because he gives a fuck about Ice Cube or Black people. Ice Cube ultimately got played like any and every Black person that chooses to hear out, talk to, meet with, etc. to a dude that is a wh*te supremacist and has a long running disdain for all people of color. Cube’s heart was in the right place but his timing was off and he made the mistake of shaking hands with the devil...All that said to cancel Ice Cube is a bridge too far...Obviously, many of you either forgot or are totally unaware of Ice Cube’s stance as it applies to race through several pieces of music he released within his groundbreaking body of work, both as a solo artists and as a member of N.W.A in the 1980s - 1990s...It is painfully obvious to me that many of you on social media read headlines and not articles through your rush to judgement in the whole cancel Ice Cube thing...The lesson that I hope that Cube learns from this is to not associate himself with anything connected to donald trump or any wh*te supremacist for any reason...There isn’t a fruitful conversation to be had...Fuck having a seat at the table...Create and sit at your own table...Never touch or shake hands with a racist because that energy from that handshake will taint you as it is presently on a surface level tainting Ice Cube...
