    1. Now you know why Kanye West’s get the money from the PPP Trump and Kanye has a deal

    1. @Son Of 9ja an entire country in Africa. … we built it for them. also welfare is basically reparations 2.0

    2. @Son Of 9ja You intentionally misread it. we sent them back to Africa. and those freed slaves turned around and enslaved others with the tools we gave. also, welfare is reparations… another attempt. nobody owed you anything.

    3. @Son Of 9jawhy did they own so many slaves in Louisiana? why did they not consider it oppressive to own someone of their own race? why was the first slave in America owned by one of his own race?

    1. @worky has biden been indicated? No? You know who has? Several of Trump associates. Facts for your russian believing @$$

    2. @NM1Raider I never seen racism like I do now I was raised to never judge by skin color. A person’s character is what matters. It is how i raised my children and grandchildren they accepted everyone. But now because of blm I had to explain skin color to my grandson who seen them on TV rioting 🥺 it was the HARDEST conversation I’ve ever had with him.

    3. @Bauttie T.H.U.G Were they indicted for Russian collusion? Was trump indicted? Where’s your proof bro. Wishful thinking on your part.

      It’s easier to fool a fool but harder to convince a fool they’ve been fooled.

    4. @worky several of trump’s associates have been convicted. The US justice department and the fbi have the proof that lead to the convictions. But are you still waiting for any clinton to be indicted? Lol. Please hold you your breath for that..

    1. Syriamber noticed that right away. Seemed like he even hesitated, trying to decide whether or not to call him out.

  1. I’m trying to understand why politicians always go to celebrities to speak for black people? 🙄😒

    1. @Latesha Leftwich First off you are an articulate young lady and I really appreciate your original comment. I only used the phrase “no offense” because of the sting in what the data has shown “the way blacks have voted in the past 50 years suggest a lack of intellectual diversity.” Something is clearly wrong. Contrary to popular beliefs most human subgroups have more intellectual diversity within groups that outside. But for some reason most blacks vote one way. I’m not the only one that notices that… the democratic establishment noticed that years ago as it shows itself in polls, focus groups and surveys. Maybe they are single issue voters or momentum but blacks for 50 years vote one way. The acknowledgement of this trend showed itself when Biden said that hispanic voters have more diversity in their voting than blacks. The “Reconstruction Era stereotypes” I mentioned to highlight a principle: The republican party is for small gov’t, low taxes, and keeping gov’t out of people’s lives, what’s the democratic philosophy? “Separate everyone into subgroups, where you are the sum of your identity groups as opposed to character?” Based on the behavior democratic establishment, what is the democratic principle?

    3. Black white hispanic doesn’t matter to me..I think for myself. I don’t need any of these rich sob’s to tell me anything. Just like these paid media trolls on here.

    4. @james Deer why are you low key belittling this young lady? Just because someone is young doesn’t mean they can’t have an opinion.

    5. Ice Cubes Black Agenda came from the Black community, not the other way around. Ice cube is speaking for his people which makes him an ADVOCATE. Thanks, Cube for advocating on behalf of millions of Black whom lived and died fighting this same fight. We salute you.

  2. Chris calls him brother? Is anyone else biting their shoulder, cringing? Cuomo, again, shows his partisan and foolish side; “Ice Cube is not with the Trump campaign.” Cuomo is such a greasy, transparent person. He seems like that schoolyard kid who only gravitated to the popular chiuldren to glom off of their influence. The whole ‘tough demeanor’ is sad and ill-fitting. No wonder we are all divided.

  3. This sounds like a fight to get him to just outright pick a side when he is just being your average capitalist

  4. I get where Ice Cubes intentions are, but what is killing his cause, is his timing. After the election, you can attempt to work with that administration. Right now, working with the Trump administration, sends the wrong message, via the Trump way. Ice Cube, telling blacks to “hold” their vote, is also a disservice. No problem asking each camp, what is their agenda, and relaying your thoughts to the black community. Timing is everything. He chose the wrong time.

  5. Its almost like we shouldn’t be looking to celebrities as role models. And we should stop letting them sway opinion.

    1. WTF are you talking about lol. Trump is a celebrity president and he swayed 330 million people to believe the covid virus wasnt serious when he knew it was.

  6. This is still America people have the right to do, think, talk, vote, for who they won’t to. Chris folk are not being controlled by the democrats anymore. SAY IT LOUD CUBE

  7. The question shouldnt be why Ice Cube approached Trump, but why Biden didnt give him the time of day.
