So much to unpack with this. I have an idea where this convo is going to go, but im going to give it a shot anyway.
One of you major gripes is, they didnt meet with Ice Cube when he wanted to & haven't reached out to him to hear what black people need? Did I really read that right? For this argument did you just elevate a former gangster rapper/actor, to the leader of black people in America? Let me counter that with this question. What has Ice Cube done in the black community, or any community, that warrants the President & Vice President to allocate time out of their loaded schedule, for an exclusive meeting with him? And dont say he gives out turkeys and backpacks every year.
Both these analogies are terrible because they arnt accurate for the majority of yall.
A more fitting one is you going down to that school and demanding a meeting with the principle to complain. Then while you're chewing their ear off about how your expectations arnt being met, they find out your kids are home schooled and arnt even students there.
Or going to Popeyes and complaining about how they run the business & menu, then they find out you're vegan, dont spend any money with them, but you might consider it if they changed their whole business to cater to you.
Of course they'd ignore you & move on if they thought you were wasting their time with nonsense.
I saw it, and when I read your 100% unrealistic & impossible to accomplish list, I ignored it. I'm NGL. That list read like it was a troll post and theres no way a adult would put that out and be serious. Its like you read some aristocratic manga & got inspired to try and make blacks the nobles of North American. That list was so bad its just slightly above having no ideas.
Like other posters mentioned, Kamala is for getting funding to healthcare, social services, & education. That will literally directly benefit black people. The last time a checked blacks are the poorest demo in this country & need help in all of the above. But for some reason some, of yall are acting like racist poor whites & would rather get nothing, than to get help that also could possibly help another ethnic group.
Lastly, Im really laughing at the thought of you seriously thinking Trumps administration would do anything to help just black people. You seriously think you could present them with a proposal filled with things like "black only land grants free of all taxes & free utilities, free education for black where ever they want to go with a $6k a month stipend, 100% free healthcare & childcare for only blacks, & if you kill a black person its automatic life in prison" and get serious consideration. They'd look at each other and buss out laughing as soon as you left the room. Thats if they even manage to hold it in while reading that.
I wanna say they'd throw that proposal right in the trash, but the reality is they'd keep it, take pics and pass it around so more people can laugh at it.
You are questioning a man who has a plan created to help out your black people, that shit is very low, garbage energy to me. You have a man who dedicated his time and effort, sat with other black scholars, Dr. Claude Anderson, Tony Browder etc, who have vouched for him to push their own ideas that they know will help black folks, they created this plan for him to push on his platform to help elevate black people to help get black folks from out of the bottom spot, and you want to shit on bud because of his past occupation, some shit he did 30 years ago? This man is family man, who has a wife and kids but because he was a rapper, film director, actor, you wanna say, fuck his plan, which is better than anything you came up with? Sour
I didn't know that you had to do something for the black community to get a meeting on helping black folks. What did Cardi B do? What did these other folks do so astounding for the black community? Gorilla, You answer that, they were able to meet with the VP, President
Tell me this: What Jew person, Asian person, Hispanic person does for their community to have meetings with the President, VP, remember when that group of Asians folks went to the WH to have a meeting with the President and VP about Asian crimes, what did they do for their community? What were their occupation? Answer that for me
Since everybody has to be so Holy to have a meeting with the President and VP in your eyes. And since we are going by these rules of such, that they have to be holy, tells us the Mona Lisa shit that Cardi B did for her community, what all these other folks who met with the VP and President, what was their MLK moment or moments that they did for their community, since this is one of the requirements, according to your thinking that you have to have to meet with the Presidents and VP. You wanna pin Cube on the cross, Ima make you pin everybody else down with your own thinking process.
The fact you sat up here and type that my list is full of shit, troll shit is sour, yet you didn't provide anything but some shit that you heard another motherfucker say. You seriously cannot breakdown in 'detail' how education, healthcare, social service is going to work for black people. As I stated in the post that you replied to, and I call out every single one of you voters move, you would utter that garbage shit with no structure, just some vague shit that you saw on twitter or heard some other person like yourself say and now you think you're a part of the process lol smh, feel like you're in tune with the political process and shit smh. You said the same shit in 2020, or it was said in 2020 and look what you got? Nothing. Same boat buddy
You asked me what has Cube done for the black community, what if I told you, he's employed black folks to work on his movie sets? He hire black actors, camera men, catering crews, black fashion designers, makeup artists, would that be enough? What If I told you, that he's put in resources with some black folks to help open up car washes, and a cookie stores in South Central LA., would that be enough to pass YOUR test
What if I told you, he bought a group of ladies airline tickets one way, back home when their flight got cancelled and the airlines wouldn't give them a voucher or refund, he came out of his pocket and paid for their airfare, is that enough for you, what if I also told you, that he's invested in black tech companies, startups that has become a great opportunity for black kids that graduate from the community college out there in LA, they are offering them internships, would that be enough. I can say these things and let's be real, it wouldn't change any thought that you have about the man, so why even utter that shit to me to even try and answer? I know the answer to that question, you just want to ramble about shit that has no bearing on anything. You want to deflect
What if I told you he took his time out to create BIG 3 Basketball league that former NBA players enjoy playing in? I can go on, but you don't care, you're stuck on some shit he was in the 90s, 30 odd years ago. A gangsta rapper in your words
You spoke these same talking points back in 2020, not maybe you, but your elk and you still out here begging and hopping,
I'm replying to a nigga who only heard 3 or 4 songs on the radio by Cube, wash smh.
