Few stories have captivated my attention quite like the controversy over Ice Cube deciding to help President Trump craft a plan that would aim to create jobs for millions of Black Americans. Part of the reason, I’m sure, is that I happen to be a lifelong Ice Cube fan. -- but the bigger one is that this seems to be one of those news stories where pretty much everyone is missing the point. The people on the left who are furious that Ice Cube is “working with Trump” are getting it wrong, the people on the right who are elated that Ice Cube is “working with Trump” are getting it wrong, and the people who say that the controversy proves that people get far too angry at others for refusing to color inside partisan lines are also getting it wrong. ICE CUBE DEFENDS WORKING WITH TRUMP CAMPAIGN ON 'PLATINUM PLAN' FOR BLACK AMERICANSNow, I’m not going to weigh in on his policy proposal itself.
