Earlier this week, Ice Cube spoke on why he decided to dive into politics. He said that he’s not associating with the Democratic or Republican Party, but promised he’s in contact with people to talk about real issues.
“I’ve been making contacts trying to talk about these real issues. Straight up, I believe the Democrats have… they’ve been nice. They’ve been cordial, so to speak. I don’t really see them pushing their policies in any different direction. They’re still talking this minority, minority, people of color shit that don’t necessarily include us. That don’t necessarily include Black Americans, especially descendants of slaves.”
Later on, he confirmed that he met with Republicans to discuss the $500 billion that they plan to allocate to Black communities.
“We also met with the Republicans and shit. They brought us in. We talked to ’em,” Ice Cube went on. “They’ve moved their agenda a lot because of what we said. You know, they put $500 billion on the table.”
Social media had mixed feelings..
How it started. How it's going.

I don't see a problem.
I high dislike trump myself but I would work with his people to change things for the better if that's what it took to poor a little water on his wild fire.
That's not an endorsement.

What's fucked up about this Ice Cube situation, he didn't have the courage to say he was working with Trump, he used BLACKNESS as his platform to speak on Trump behalf. He's a coward, we had to learn about his partnership with Trump from a white woman 20 days before an election.

We've reached the point where Joe Biden has more credibility in the hood than Ice Cube. 2020 is the twilight zone.

I’m old enough to remember when Ice Cube mocked Eazy-E for having dinner with President George HW Bush which was Eazy trolling Bush, not supporting him, but we’re in 2020 so up is down.

Did Ice Cube ask Trump to apologize for leading a lynch mob against the Central Park?
Did he ask him to apologize for spreading a racist lie about Pres. Obama’s birth certificate?
Did he ask him to apologize to the Black people beat up by police that followed Trump’s guidance? https://t.co/dMCC0auZa9
