I told y'all last month that #IceCube, #BoyceWatkins, #Diddy and others were agents of the Republican Party. They knew they wouldn't be able to get Black Americans to convert from the Democratic Party, so they decided to engage in #Votersuppression by spreading an incoherent message that only led to confusion. Now, with only three weeks left until #Electionday2020 the Black Nation is in a state of disarray, as opposed to the state of focus that is integral to our survival in America going forward. The #CWBA that Mr. Cube has been advocating for since May was mediocre at best, and offered very few specifics on how to accomplish the policies put forward. While on the outside the Contract With Black America seemed thorough and substantial, deeper research showed a fundamental lack of knowledge of how politics in The United States of America works. #BoyceWatkins compared the document to The Declaration of Independence, but at no time did the document declare Black independence from the United States. Making such a statement was not only grandiose; it was a damn lie! Black Hollywood, while being relatively silent on the issues affecting us, especially during #COVID19; however, the ones who have spoken out have spoken out in an attempt to subvert the political will of Black Americans, who have been disproportionately impacted by the virus. We have sat back and watched in awe, and terror as our false prophets turn on us behind closed doors, all while lying to our faces through #Zoom meetings. I guess #NWA was on to something when they made #BenedictArnold! #Criticalthinking is more important now than ever. Now that the cat is out the bag, I can honestly say that Ice Cube has been a White Supremacist from day one. Listen to his music, and if you were alive when he was popular, think about all the brothers and sisters who died because they believed it! It's time to call a spade a spade.
