Ice Cube Says Hollywood Needs To Pay Black People Reparations
July 23, 2020During an interview on "The Breakfast Club" with show host Charlamagne tha God, rapper Ice Cube called on Hollywood to pay black people in reparations for all the damage they have done.
“Virtually all the studios who contributed in our narrative, in our pain, in our misrepresentation, in stealing our history and giving it to white people for over a 100 years, so I think these studios that we know and love should kick in to a studio that’s ran by black people with no outside influences, and whose movies and projects are owned by those black people,” the millionaire rapper and actor said.

Ice Cube continued by saying that Hollywood needs to hand over ownership to black people for their own projects.
“Those black artists, those black directors and writers, and people who put the projects together should own the projects – and these studios, they can license the projects, the movies, or the TV shows or whatever, or they don’t have to,” he said. “We can put them on our own streaming services. I just think it’s a form of reparations from the entertainment industry if they all had to invest a certain amount of money into the studio each year as payment for all the damage they’ve done to black people.”
The rapper and actor continued by saying that black people deserve "13.5% of the pie" because they are 13.5% of the population.

“We catching hell no matter who in office, and we always have. So we need to think about who’s gonna support this plan, and try to better the whole country … try to do it in a [sic] across the board, broad manner, because … stomping out little fires here and there, it just ain’t gonna cut it,” he said. “We are 13% of this country — more, 13.5 — and we deserve 13.5% of the pie, straight up, across the board. …We’re not trying to get to reform. We need equality, straight up. … Why reform a system that was geared towards our demise? We need to be equal.”
“Yeah, f**k reform,” Charlamagne responded. “We gotta tear the whole system down; dismantle the whole mechanism of white supremacy.”
Charlamagne continued by asking Ice Cube, the multimillionaire, if he felt free in America.
“No. [There’s] no way to feel free in America because I’m connected to our people, you know, so I actually feel the pain,” Ice Cube said.
“You feel it in your bones,” he added. “That’s how I feel when I see something happen to one of us in the street. I feel it in my bones, and so I don’t feel free. I feel like that person. I feel like that can happen to me; that can happen to one of my sons; that can happen to my daughter; that can happen to my nephews, nieces, my father. That can happen to my mother.”
“How the hell are you going to feel free in this country just ‘cause you got money? That ain’t s**t,” he finished.
