Ice Cube blasts Democrats: 'Nothing has changed' for black people who have supported Democrats for '60 years'



Rapper, actor, and entrepreneur Ice Cube said on a recent podcast that "nothing has changed" for black people who have "overwhelmingly" supported Democrats for over 50 years, and insisted that change is needed.

On the "Full Send Podcast," which has previously hosted President Trump, Tucker Carlson, and even O.J. Simpson, Ice Cube was asked about his support for Trump in the 2020 election cycle.

"When you kind of supported Trump and stuff like that, what did you think about it, because you're [in] Hollywood, you know, there's a lot of, like, propaganda and stuff like that. What was that like, getting flak for that?" asked host Kyle Forgeard.

"I never supported Trump or Biden. I never asked to speak to the Republicans or the Democrats," the artist replied. "I created a document called 'The Contract with Black America' that spelled out a lot of different issues that we believe were the reasons why [there] was so much unrest after George Floyd was killed," he continued.

"[Do] you think there's like a stigma amongst like the African-American community to Republicans and stuff like that?" Forgeard then asked.

"I don't know what's going on in the African-American community when it comes to that, you know? I mean like black people have supported Democrats, you know, overwhelmingly for 50, 60 years, and nothing has changed. So, something's got to change," he explained.

The movie star also explained how his "Contract with Black America" was well received by Democrats and Republicans, both of whom reached out to him prior to the 2020 election:

"I released the document and everybody wanted to talk to me. The Republicans asked to talk to me and the Democrats. I went to talk to both of them about the contract. The Republicans asked could they implement some things from the contract into their proposal. And I said the document was open for anybody to use in any way they desire."

He described how he met with Democrats, who told him, “'We like 90% of what’s in there and we’ll talk to you after the election about it.' And I said 'Okay.' And I felt like, after that, everybody started to pile on and say that I was for Trump and I was for this and I was for that. It’s not true."

However, Ice Cube has also previously expressed that Democrats placated him until after the 2020 election, but never followed through on holding a meeting.

The 55-year-old's document regarding black Americans includes a reparations plan, federal baby bonds, and "a one-time interest free loan for home ownership" to qualified black Americans from the Federal Reserve.

Trump campaign says rapper Ice Cube added input on its plan for the black community, and his fans are outraged



Fans of the iconic rapper Ice Cube were outraged on Wednesday after a top Trump campaign adviser tweeted that the notoriously anti-Trump musician was working with the administration.

Katrina Pierson let the cat out of the bag in a tweet thanking Ice Cube, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson, for his contribution to the campaign's "platinum plan," a set of policies meant to help the black community prosper.

"Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan," Pierson tweeted.

"Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading!" she added.

Jackson confirmed that he had spoken with the Trump campaign about his plan, called the Contract with a Black America.

"Facts: I put out the CWBA. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we'll address the CWBA after the election," tweeted Jackson.

"Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA," he added.

"They used your blackness"

Although Jackson merely responded to a call from the Trump administration, many of his fans took to social media to excoriate him for it, while many falsely accused him of endorsing the president's re-election campaign.

"You see what they did homie? They used your blackness as a political ploy to siphon black votes," said one user to Jackson.

"Who is Ice Cube fooling. He was a Trump supporter all along. They hear money and that's all they go for," said actress Conchita Leeflang.

"Ice Cube is working with a president who is beloved by actual Nazis, Klansmen and every other major white supremacist group," claimed activist director Payman Benz.

"So Ice Cube confirms that he's working with a white supremacist. Got it," said sportscaster Chris Williamson.

"Shame on Ice Cube and any of you who are allowing yourselves to be led by him. He isn't bucking the system, he's working his way into it for his own personal gain," said TV hair dresser Elgin Charles.

"Donald Trump doesn't give AF about Black people; yet, some of you are all too willing to shuck & jive for him," he added.

Although Jackson has been venomously vocal against Trump and his policies, he has also publicly questioned whether Democratic policies and politicians have been good for the black community.
