(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Rapper Ice Cube, who trashed the president in the past, is now working with the Trump administration. Immediately, the 51-year-old African-American was under attack by rabid Democrats and Joe Biden supporters. That’s when Ice Cube retaliated by making it clear why he is working with the president, and it only made then leftists freak out more. You’ll love this.
This might be the worst thing that happened to the Biden campaign in a few days. Ice Cube was forced to make a statement about working with the Trump administration, which caused his African-American fans to look into what was going on.
It all started after Trump 2020 adviser Katrina Pierson tweeted, “Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan…Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading!”

Pierson is one of the prominent African-Americans working for the Trump campaign. Obviously, that tweet sent off shockwaves on social media. It’s not true, right? There’s no way Ice Cube is working with Trump.
That’s when Ice Cube clarified exactly what was going on.
“Facts: I put out the [Contract with Black America],” the rapper tweeted. “Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.”

Trump’s proposed “Platinum Plan” would include creating 3 million new jobs in the Black community over the next four years, increasing access to capital by nearly $500 billion, and strengthening Trump’s immigration policies to protect American jobs, according to his website.
Ice Cube also gave an interview on Thursday, and he is starting to figure out the race-baiters in his own community. Although he did not mention anyone by name, it was evident he was referring to those like Al Sharpton who “come in and scoop up the public money. All they want is that money the government is dishing out,” he said.
Quickly, the news spread on social media that the Democrats basically dismissed Ice Cube while the Trump people were ready to work with him.
However, many of Joe Biden’s supporters and Ice Cube fans refused to accept the facts and decided to blast the rapper.
“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,” tweeted Danny Morrison Media.

“I don’t even know what this means, but I do know this: If you support Trump or try to help him in any way, you are an idiot. Full stop,” tweeted “Khashoggi’s Ghost.”

“Just admit that you’re a multimillion who benefits from the tax cuts and from the business you have with Bannon. This stuff is purely transactional. You just don’t care about the damage to the rest of us. We won’t forget,” tweeted “Wanda Speaks 67.”

That’s just a few of the detractors’ posts. Meanwhile, Ice Cube got a ton of support from those who are pleasantly surprised that he had the guts to tell the truth.
“What more do Black people need to see? The Democratic Party has no interest in you!” tweeted Christian Lamar.

“Funny Democrats want to wait until AFTER the election for everything. If they don’t have a plan to share we don’t need to vote for them. It’s like consistently giving someone a loan that never pays you back, but promises they will and never does,” tweeted “Doni the Don.”

“Ice Cube is an OG and anybody that tries canceling him is a brainless waste of space. He has done endless for black America as well as America as a whole. Keep doing ur thing Ice. These people are clowns,” tweeted Scott Isbell.

What Ice Cube noted in a video he put out on Twitter was that he didn’t have a particularly high opinion of either party, but he thought his plan was good for black Americans. If the Trump administration was willing to sincerely listen, he was willing to talk to them about it.
And for that, he was skewered by the Democrats, who totally have taken the black vote for granted for many many years. We bet Ice Cube was surprised that it was the Trump campaign who did not push him off to the side like the Biden people who patted him on the head saying: “we’ll get back to you after the election.”
If there is one thing you can take to the bank, it’s that President Trump is willing to work with anyone when it will benefit the American people. Ice Cube may not be fully “red-pilled” yet, but give him time. If he sincerely searches for the truth, the man who produced the song “F*ck the Police” may find it’s really the Democrats who have been screwing him all along.
