50 Cent says black men identify with Trump “because they’ve got RICO charges.”
People in 2016 were in denial about how lower class whites actually liked Trump’s rhetoric on immigrants, etc.
2024 is going to end with them being shocked at what about Trump appeals to blacks.

50 Cent: Black Men Are ‘Identifying With Trump’ Over Biden Amid Conviction
Rap mogul 50 Cent said black men are “identifying” with former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in the aftermath of Trump’s conviction.
The Grammy-winner, also known as Curtis Jackson, met with House Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday in order to advocate for black entrepreneurs and business owners, and to call for more representation for black people working in the liquor industry, the Hill reported.
While meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, a reporter asked 50 Cent what he saw “among African American men” in the upcoming 2024 presidential election in November.
“I see them identifying with Trump,” the rapper answered.
“Why do you say that?” the reporter asked.
The rapper responded by stating it was because they have “RICO charges.”
In August 2023, Trump was indicted on a racketeering charge.
Under the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which was passed in 1970, there are around 35 offenses that are defined as racketeering. Some examples of racketeering charges consist of gambling, murder, kidnapping, bribery, and drug dealing.
Most recently, Trump was found guilty of 34 charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to adult entertainment star, Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
This is not the first time that the famous rapper has seemingly come out in favor of Trump. In October 2020, 50 Cent criticized Biden’s proposed tax plan in a post on Instagram and seemed to endorse Trump for reelection, writing that people should vote for him.
In February, 50 Cent suggested that “maybe Trump is the answer,” after New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) came out with a plan to distribute $53 million on pre-paid credit cards to migrants in the city.
A Wall Street Journal poll from April found that 30 percent of black men and 11 percent of black women have intentions to vote for Trump in the upcoming election. This represented an increase from 2020 when only 12 percent of black men had voted for Trump. Six percent of black women stated they would vote for Trump in 2020.
Democrat officials have recently been sounding the alarm and warning Biden that “time is running out” for him to get his message across to black voters in America.
An I&I/TIPP Poll survey from the beginning of May showed that Biden was suffering from a 28 percent decline in support among black voters. In 2020, 87 percent of black voters supported Biden, while Trump had 12 percent of support from black voters. The poll found that Trump had gained three points among black voters, sitting at 15 percent, while Biden’s support with black voters had slipped to 59 percent.

How AP covered the D-Day landings and lost photographer Bede Irvin in the battle for Normandy
When Associated Press correspondent Don Whitehead arrived with other journalists in southern England to cover the Allies’ imminent D-Day invasion of Normandy, a U.S. commander offered them a no-nonsense welcome.
“We’ll do everything we can to help you get your stories and to take care of you. If you’re wounded, we’ll put you in a hospital. If you’re killed, we’ll bury you. So don’t worry about anything,” said Maj. Gen. Clarence R. Heubner of the U.S. Army 1st Infantry Division.
It was early June 1944 — just before the long-anticipated Normandy landings that ultimately liberated France from Nazi occupation and helped precipitate Nazi Germany’s surrender 11 months later.

The ACLU is making plans to fight Trump’s promises of immigrant raids and mass deportations
The ACLU isn’t conceding that Trump will beat President Joe Biden this year. But it’s publishing a blueprint on how it plans to respond to a second Trump term given his promises to go much further on immigration, with calls for mass raids and the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
Advocacy groups are making contingency plans to try and tie up Trump’s priorities in court or through the workings of government. Trump’s allies, mindful of the resistance he faced in the White House and anticipating the chance to remake huge swaths of government, have prepared policy books and staffing plans of their own, including one effort known as “Project 2025.”
The ACLU shared a memo offering possible responses on immigration policy with The Associated Press ahead of its formal release on Thursday.
“This is really kind of the sequel on the earlier work that we did fighting off the worst of the Trump abuses,” said Anthony Romero, the group’s president.
