Did people not pay attention to their lyrics? At all? Like, it’s flat out obvious where the band stood from day one!

“Dear Mr. Ice Cube: As a former N.W.A. fan who used to spend countless hours listening to “Fuck tha Police” from Straight Outta Compton, I am shocked and appalled to learn that you have recently expressed public support for the Black Lives Matter movement. If you continue spouting political views you are going to ruin your fan base!”

It’s crazy to me! I was well aware of their political orientation by, you know, listening to their lyrics when I was a teen…

Good on Tom for fighting the good fight, always, tho.

Lol, white people! :grimacing:

Here’s some more information:

It means they can take the moral highground in 50 years time and pretend they didn’t know exactly what the Nazis were doing with their tech.

Also an abomination rather than a point of pride.

I shan’t argue with anyone inferring I meant the whole organisation not just the hideous child abuse.

Well, he’s running for president 2024, so after calling for violent suppression of the protestors, he’s noticed the winds are blowing from the other direction, and is shifting his position accordingly. See also: NFL.
