Ice Cube and the Black vote.
Ice Cube has caused quite the controversy this week. Though I can't entirely agree with him, I believe he’s trying to address a pressing need.
This sucks. I wish I could get mad at anyone for how they plan to vote, but I just can’t. There’s simply no right answer. There are positives and negatives to every choice that Black folk, and any other American, can make at the ballot box this year. Well, except for one choice, that is. Please, no matter who you are or where you’re reading this from, do not vote for Donald Trump. The man is beyond unhinged and is willing to get us all killed so that he can maintain his ‘strong-man’ moniker. He doesn’t give a damn if any of us or our loved ones catch COVID and die. Ice Cube has caught a ton of flak this week because of his willingness to give Trump a chance. As much as I disagree with him, I understand where he’s coming from. He believes that politicians that want Black votes should make a Contract with Black America (CWBA). I couldn’t agree more, but we can’t ignore who these politicians have proven to be throughout their lives.
