“It would be irresponsible of me to have us hold our vote hostage,” Diddy said while making the media rounds on Thursday, referring to a strategy he once promoted for Black voters. Driven by his disillusionment with the current political system, he said he hopes to bring Black people together under a single agenda. Although the rap mogul did endorse Biden on Friday, he also decided to launch his own political party called Our Black Party. I truly believe that his heart - if not his ego - is in the right place.Īnd then there’s Sean “Diddy” Combs. Ice Cube, on other the hand, sounds more like a Black man who desperately wants to be part of the solution for Black people, but has felt alienated from the nation’s policy discussions for so long that he clearly doesn’t know how. The arena said it was a sellout.😂- Ice Cube October 16, 2020 Daniel Cameron, who shamelessly parroted the party line, but at least qualifies as a sellout given his rising status among Republicans. Look no further than the many of them who spoke at the Republican National Convention in August. Trump’s Platinum Plan is little more than a vague promise that Trump, if he somehow manages to win reelection, will abandon as fast as he repeatedly abandoned Black people in this country.Īfter all, this is the administration that gave us the gentrification bombs known as opportunity zones, and the administration that has steadfastly ignored a pandemic that has killed thousands of Black men and women and wiped out almost half of all Black-owned small businesses.Īnd yet there are still Black men who are willing to be used. The unfortunate reality is that Ice Cube is just getting used - just like the Trump administration has used so many Black men before him as props to further the illusion of supporting Black people while implementing policies that do the opposite. The arena said it was a sellout.”īeing a “sellout” implies getting something in return. Bangers called me a sellout,” Ice Cube tweeted. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.”īut he doubled down on his strategy, dismissing criticism that he was willing to work with a president who traffics in the very white supremacy that he spent a rap career protesting. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. “Facts,” Ice Cube tweeted Wednesday, in an attempt to quell the growing backlash to his political bungling. And, despite what the Trump administration is claiming, it barely resembles Cube’s aspirational Contract With Black America, which includes demands such as abolishing private prisons and eliminating mandatory minimum sentences, or Joe Biden ’s more exhaustive plan, which was introduced back in May. In reality, the Platinum Plan is a two-page document that’s thinner on substance than a fifth-grader’s book report. “Leaders gonna lead,” she tweeted, “haters gonna hate.” #PressPlay ☛ #RolandMartinUnfiltered /Go28PB圓oW- rolandsmartin October 16, 2020Īll of this came to light starting on Wednesday, when Trump senior advisor Katrina Pierson - a woman whom Ice Cube has said he doesn’t even know - thanked him for his “willingness to step up” and help develop the administration’s so-called Platinum Plan to help Black Americans.

Barkley’s shoes are making a comeback this yearĬharles Barkley’s signature Nike Air Max2 CB ‘94 shoes are making a comeback during the holidays this year, as per Sole Collector. In the advertisement, Barkley was seen blatantly crushing kids’ dreams, saying buying his shoes won’t make them play like him. Even Nike tapped into Sir Charles’ offhand wit and made a befitting commercial. Such statements were pretty much the trademark of Barkley’s humor. As per his book Sir Charles: Wit and Wisdom of Charles Barkley, Barkley told sportswriters in 1993, “ For you guys, $129.” The Chuckster couldn’t let this opportunity to roast sportswriters go in vain. Therefore, Barkley was asked whether his shoes are affordable for sportswriters, who definitely do not get paid like NBA stars, at least most of them don’t. Barkley’s Nike Air Max CB 94s cost around $130 at that time, which were pretty expensive for the 90s.
However, Charles Barkley decided to turn the tables back in 1993.
It’s not rare to see sportswriters criticize and roast NBA players for faults in their game.
