‘Black progress is a bipartisan issue.’
Yesterday, Ice Cube was on the receiving end of some backlash after it was revealed that he helped the Trump administration work on its Black outreach program, The Platinum Plan. He shared some responses to the backlash yesterday, and since then, he has spoken more on the topic. One fan tweeted at the rapper last night, “My Hip-Hop HERO @icecube is working with the Darkside. I haven’t felt this low since Kobe passed. HEARTBREAKING. Cube, I’m not sure you understand how much we value your voice. And when we see you ‘jumping the shark,’ it KILLS us. Especially in 2020.” He replied, “Every side is the Darkside for us here in America. They’re all the same until something changes for us. They all lie and they all cheat but we can’t afford not to negotiate with whoever is in power or our condition in this country will never change.
