Jackson astutely pointed out that many individuals profit from the division and strife between different races, constantly feeding us the idea that we are separate and perpetuating a never-ending battle of race and color. It’s like being stuck in a terrible movie, desperately searching for the exit but finding none. He believes that it shouldn’t matter where you come from; what truly matters is where you are right now, echoing the wisdom of hip-hop legend Rakim.
.@icecube to @TuckerCarlson:
A lot of people make a lot of money in America by making the races fight against each other.

When discussing whether racial differences are being emphasized more now than in 1986, Ice Cube agreed wholeheartedly. He acknowledged that back then, movies and television shows were clearly scripted, and viewers knew they were watching fiction. Fast forward to today, where so-called reality shows blur the line between fact and fiction, magnifying the issues of race, status, and belonging in America. Cube observed that controversy sells, so these shows focus on conflict and discord, rather than portraying people getting along.
Ice Cube did not shy away from discussing the backlash he faced for offering to engage with the Trump administration. He revealed his disappointment in the lack of response from the Biden administration, sharing that he had only spoken briefly with a low-level staffer who left shortly after their conversation. Cube, who made headlines by suggesting that Black Americans should consider exploring alternatives to the Democratic Party, clearly understands that political loyalty cannot be taken for granted.
This conversation between Tucker Carlson and Ice Cube shed light on the disingenuous and divisive tactics employed by mainstream media figures. It’s refreshing to see individuals like Cube unapologetically questioning the narratives pushed by these media elites. Rational discussions should be encouraged, allowing for diverse viewpoints to be heard and debated, rather than shutting down dissenting voices.
It’s time for Americans to recognize the manipulative nature of the media, stop being pawns in their game of division, and come together as a united nation. We need more independent thinkers like Ice Cube who are willing to challenge the status quo and refuse to be silenced.
