Why the media hated Ice Cube, but loved Stacey Abrams
from The Dr Boyce Breakdown · host Dr Boyce Watkins
I speak here about Stacey Abrams and Ice Cube and the different ways they were treated in the media. Abrams was seen as a hero by media, mostly due to her work with the Democratic Party. Ice Cube, however, was seen as a villain by everyone but the Black community, who had a strong appreciation for his efforts. In light of what happened with Ice Cube and Stacey Abrams, I discuss Meritorious Manumission from Dr Claud Anderson's book, "Powernomics," and the Housee Negro-Field Negro divides that continue to plague our community as we deal with black politics in America.
