Definitely watch the full video. Cube seems to be trying to punch above his weight, stepped into Thunderdome with a melon ball scooper, and has let his desperation get the best of him, but he's at least not going the Kanye route or the Candace Owens route.

It's a 37 minute video, and I get that it's a big time commitment. Cube basically is trying to pull a g move and take the sails out of the election by thinking that if he can make a deal with WHOEVER is going to be president, that then we (black people) will be set up regardless. So instead of hanging on these election results the next few three weeks, we'd theoretically feel like we already had what we needed in the way of a commitment to improve our condition.

What Cube is brushing by the wayside is the Trump administration is not truthful or reliable in any way. Cube thinks he's on some Don to Don **** but Alicia Garza (cofounder of Black Voters Matter) notes many times in her very collegial back-and-forths with Roland and Cube, that justice isn't hashed out over a boardroom table. She read Cube's contract with black america - both versions. She notes that Trump claims BLM is a terrorist organization. Cube says he disagrees and says if Trump thinks that, that's his own personal problem.

No bruh, that's our problem!! Whatever lie Trump or his administration convince you of first off isn't going to happen, but secondly even if it did, the more people he convinces that black people by simply saying their lives matter are 'terrorists', the more having that extra money for a loan or whatever, means nothing because people won't shop at your stores, won't see you as human, and those people will drift farther and farther from any kind of sense of a shared America with people who aren't white.

At the end of the day at least Cube isn't going the Kanye route. But he's in way way over his head. It's like what Krs said - Cube thinks he's an OG in politics, organizing and activism, and he's just a runner.

Any contract claiming to represent an entire group needs a quorum and transparency.

That short clip of Cube on with Roland looked bad for him

Ima peep the whole interview and hope the rest doesn't come off like that

44:45 Mark. Cube got played. Good convo tho



Imma be real. A lot of us just never really took the time to understand how **** works in this country. And that was by their design. You could see it here with Cube. Smart brother, but he got caught in not looking at details.

This is so sad. Seeing people that said this was all a joke and wasn’t a big deal being saved by treatments 99% of us can’t get.

To hear this ****in moron Trump say 85% of people that wear masks get it and wearing masks doesn’t make a difference is so sickening. I want to break his ****in jaw.

Bush is somewhere Poppin bottles about Trump taking that title from him

For those of you who have watched ATLA, when talking to black people who have a poor grasp on how politics works and just throw out ideas that have no logical way of reaching the desired result, sometimes I feel like Iroh telling Zuko he never thinks anything through. That level of frustration. Then what? What's the plan? Become independents and then what? Create our own political party and then what? Refuse to vote in elections and then what? These "plans" haven't been thought through. They're not plans at all.

The scene for you who havent seen it:

Got that vote in

Democrat the whole way down of course. If we can snatch a senate seat in GA I'll will be over the moon.

 

[reformeDWS]

they're all trying to get in parting shots and disassociate with him, meanwhile they've voted lockstep for the last 4 years.

they're also gearing up for the classic "look at the national debt under the democrats!" while ignoring that their own tax cuts caused it.

The most embarrassing thing about the Cube video is that Roland and the guests were trying to school him, and making great points. And instead of realizing he got played, his ego took over and he tried to circle back to a "both sides" argument. But to do that, he constantly dismisses the Dems good work, and Trump and the Republicans bad actions.

Mans did even seem to know how much **** Mitch McConnell has killed without Trump saying a peep.

Cube is like a lot of dudes that think they got things figured out, they got all the information need to form an argument that both sides are equally good/bad/etc. Then someone breaks down that their position ignores a ton of facts, and they are low information. Ego just makes them double down because they can't accept they got played and put so much energy just to reach a poor conclusion.

Sad man
