Ice Cube Clarifies His Role in Developing Trump Campaign’s ‘Platinum Plan’

Back in July, Ice Cube called on politicians to sign his “Contract with Black America,” which laid out 13 areas for improvement related to police reform, prison reform, bank lending and more.

“The problems facing America are too deep and wide to simply reform one area or another,” the contract reads. “Long-lasting solutions demand a comprehensive thorough ‘rethink’ of America so that each new approach in each area supports the success of the others. This Contract with Black America will provide conceptual approaches in several areas.”

The president’s administration absorbed some of the CWBA into the White House’s “Platinum Plan,” with Ice Cube’s help. Trump’s “Platinum Plan” aims to “increase access to capital in black communities by almost $500 billion” by creating 500,000 black-owned businesses and 3 million new jobs for the black community, plus strengthening immigration and policing policies.
