Referring to Trump and Bannon supporter Ice Cube as a “civil rights leader” is just the latest nonsense and anti-Blackness spewed by a candidate.

I wonder when the last time IceCube has even been around black people not on a payroll?

How is that funny? You're connecting the wrong guy to these anti-black idiots. Don't get people confused to think it's Ice T when it isn't.

Once upon a time, I used to respect Dennis Kucinich.

I actually don't know whether it's (poorly) intended to court Black voters or whether this shit is intended to make racist white people "feel" better about their candidates.

I think it is both. In the piece I mention the cheering white crowds at those Trump rallies and Desantis sessions.. once they spew anti-Blackness, in any fashion, the crowds eat it up... and guys like Ice Cube here are just willing fools..

I hate seeing Ice Cube has taking the money over character too! He definitely surprised me. His Big 3 basketball league is tied up with Trump and Qatar funding. Unfortunately many of the NFL, NBA, NHL owners have foreign “investors”, especially Russian, Saudi, Qatar.. 😡

Yep. He's a Steve Bannon guy. He pushes voter suppression and nonstop complaints about democrats but never about republicans. Dude is lost and he fully sold out.

The fact that they they think he is a leading civil rights leader just proves how little they know about Black people and how FEW of us they interact with/know personally. FOH!

This part. Just because they are dumb to believe some dude like Ice Cube is a "leader" of any type is crazy.. but not crazy enough for us to fall for it..

So civil rights leader Ice Cube is just fine with ignoring RFK Jr's deliberate targeting of the Black community with anti-Covid vaccine messages. Last time he turned up he was pushing Trump's "Platinum plan" for Black America.

Bingo. The same Ice Cube.. who when called on it and then invited to meet with VP Harris... said.. "he didn't have time".. that clown..

I'm not even gonna echo this because this is so humiliating how my people are still being used in a fight for power of the which we have very little of. this dummy & others like him, just don't get it🤦🏾♀️

Hey Gino - thanks! He is a really astue writer and historian (I don't know if he is an actual historian, but he sure seems like it!)

I've been highly dubious of Ice Cube since his Trump turn... but Dennis Kucinich? Man, that loss hits hard, there's a man who's done good work, hitching his wagon to a destroyer like RFK (I used to follow RING OF FIRE, and the guy used to seem okay, oh-so long ago...)

You want to talk someone who's lost their mind — let's talk Dennis Kucinich. In an email yesterday he said that NATO has to be abolished to ensure "world peace." Sure, let Putin run the entire world.

Oh okay. Didn't know cube was a civil rights leader. Still don't. But hey, need someone from stage left to fit the role.

This!👇🏽
“The coming election season will be filled with carnival barkers, pretenders, and a whole host of anti-Black candidates who will tirelessly work to depress the Black vote and hand as many seats to the republican party.”
The fact that they NEVER bring any 💨 to Republicans is telling.

They'll grab any Black person spewing the same nonsense they spew and then elevate said Black person to leader status, until they no longer need said Black person - then it's "back to where you came from.."
