Rapper-actor and basketball mogul Ice Cube will meet with President Joe Biden (D) to talk about his "Contract with Black America" following the Biden team's initial refusal to meet with him during the presidential race.
"They reached out; we gotta set the meeting," Ice Cube said during an appearance on the
Ryan Cameron: Uncensored radio show this week,
noting that the administration reached out on Tuesday. The award-winning rapper, who has been advocating his "Contract with Black America," said:
"I would love to bring some people in; I work with some great experts who know the root of the problem much better than me. I would love to bring in the specialists I have and the experts I have to see what we can do to start moving the ball down the field."
The proposal
includes a demand for
a bill to "guarantee black opportunity and representation." It also calls for the
removal of Confederate monuments and includes
overarching demands for a series of reforms in a variety of areas, including
bank lending, prison, judicial, and law enforcement. The megastar emphasized that he is ready and available to meet with the president's team and expressed hope that "everything will be positive."
Ice Cube came under fire last year after working with former
President Trump on his "Platinum Plan," specifically, which would
"create 3 million jobs for black Americans and would see $500 billion for economic, educational, and financial investments in black communities across the country," as Breitbart News
reported.
