In a 2021 interview that has gone viral again,\u00a0rapper and actor Ice Cube explained that black Americans haven\u2019t really gained much after voting Democrat for decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">Ice Cube sat down with journalist\u00a0Graham Bensinger last year for a conversation in which he said the Biden administration has so far failed to engage in a meaningful way with his \u201cContract with Black America\u201d \u2014\u00a0his manifesto that puts forth a \u201cblueprint to achieve racial economic justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey haven\u2019t done anything to act on it. I\u2019ve had one conversation with an assistant to the president but no talk with the president. No other movement,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re still working though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the blowback he received for meeting with President Donald Trump, Ice Cube said people assume black people are unconditionally loyal to Democrats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">\u201cI just think people didn\u2019t understand exactly where I was coming from. And people are really used to seeing black people go on one side, to the Democratic party,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been doing that for a long time as a people and we haven\u2019t really gained as much as we should. And I believe it\u2019s important to engage with both sides, and not just one side, because if the one side you\u2019re engaging with doesn\u2019t respond, there\u2019s no where to turn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Watch below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ice Cube says Biden still hasn\u2019t spoken with him about his contract with black America\u2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zRVjcGRrrg\">pic.twitter.com\/zRVjcGRrrg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SHO\u2019NUFF (@IAMSHO_NUFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAMSHO_NUFF\/status\/1584679220122644480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2020\/10\/14\/ice-cube-trump-embraced-my-contract-with-black-america-democrats-blew-me-off-until-after-the-election\/\">reported<\/a>, Ice Cube\u00a0accused Democrats in 2020 of brushing aside his \u201cContract with Black America,\u201d saying that the party told him they would address the issue \u201cafter the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">He said that the Trump campaign has spoken to him about the initiative and as a result, \u201cmade some adjustments\u201d to the campaign\u2019s \u201cPlatinum Plan\u201d \u2014 a roadmap for economic, educational, and financial investments in black communities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>This midterm season, Democrats are having trouble connecting with black voters, whom they have take for granted for decades.<\/p>\n<p>As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/midterm-election\/2022\/10\/04\/democrat-raphael-warnock-performing-12-points-worse-among-black-voters-compared-to-2021\/\">reported<\/a>,\u00a0Sen.
