Rapper Ice Cube will be a headline speaker at the annual gala of the Zionist Organization of America — the nation’s oldest pro-Israel organization — after he was called out for sharing anti-Semitic images on social media earlier this year.

“‘I gotta say it was a good day’ when my friend Cube readily and happily agreed to speak at our ZOA Gala,” ZOA president Morton Klein said in a statement, quoting one of the rapper’s best known hits.

The 51-year-old activist and Klein forged a friendship after Cube was accused of anti-Semitism in June when he shared a string of images and memes amplifying anti-Jewish tropes including a Star of David enveloping a black cube.

He's going to apologize for the s--t he said in the 90s?

Cube actually made a song denigrating white women. If a country or rock star made a song denigrating black women, they'd be blacklisted from the industry, no consideration from the Rock and Roll HoF, and would basically be a leper.

I’m not familiar with his oeuvre, but I seemed to remember reading he had a song against Korean shopkeepers.

I recall Cave Bitch...

Cube has denigrated Jewish people, Koreans, and white women. If he was a rock or country singer, he’d have been banned from the industry.

Gasp! A Rapper has songs that denigrate people.
Wasn’t he recently being looked at in at least a partially pro-Trump way?
