Last week Ice Cube met with Donald Trump, and all hell broke loose. He got dragged mercilessly and the memes even now are so off the chain as to promise he will be traded in the next draft not even to white people but rather to five head five horned flying purple people eaters. Black Twitter apparently wants him cancelled yesterday, or at least half. The other half wants the first half to shut the hell up and get off the plantation. It’s a helluva distraction. And as expected he has hit back but not in an overly negative manner. He’s remained out front and he has spoken to people that can help change the narrative, and help him grow. On this episode of Etch The Edges we share our perspective. Cube lacked knowledge to speak and engage. He lacked the cred to hold the position. He has the right to speak but he has not earned the right to speak for us. However, his intent is well met and he should not step back from the firing line. If he is willing to learn what he needs to learn and leverage what he has at his disposal we can and should stand with him. But until then, he needs to go back to school. And to be clear, he must never, ever ever ever, ever threaten the vote.
