As the election approaches, Ice Cube has pushed his "Contract with Black America" and outlined reform policies that promote equity and respect for Black Americans. The rapper and filmmaker revealed that he's had discussions with the Trump administration and Joe Biden's team during an interview with TMZ Live.
Ice Cube has previously said that the Black vote should be used as a tool to get what's needed in the community. He reiterated that thought and said whichever candidate adopts his plan will get his vote. He also said that both Biden and Trump's teams have agreed with his ideals and "understand that something big needs to be done."
"[Me and Biden's team] talked about a few things," Cube said. "Making sure that a fair amount of government contracts go to Black businesses, and I say Black specifically because the word 'minority' has actually hurt us because every minority usually gets something but us. I really wanna focus on economics. I think economics could fix a lot of these other social problems. They're moving full-speed on dealing with social issues. The same amount of energy needs to go into getting us out of this economic hole that Black people have found themselves in generation after generation. We have to close this wealth gap."
