The Dr Boyce Breakdown
Willie D and Dr Boyce ask why Ice Cube's advocacy for black people has run into such disdain
I am utterly fascinated by how the idea of unifying around a failing political party has led to such a strong public backlash against the rapper Ice Cube for speaking on behalf of black people. You would expect that someone pushing for a radically, different approach to American politics would be welcome with open arms.
But during my conversation with activist and hip-hop artist Willie D, I am convinced that FEAR can create the kind of stagnation that has kept black people from moving forward over the last 50 years. It is fear of a Donald Trump presidency that has led to the backlash against Ice Cube, where millions of our people would rather see a failed community than to face another 4 years of Donald Trump.
That's what we discuss in this podcast. It's a good one.
