Eazy-E – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com Current Affairs Mon, 06 Dec 2021 06:54:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://i0.wp.com/selfequanimity.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SE-Copy.png?fit=32%2C32 Eazy-E – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com 32 32 176655959 He made HISTORY R.I.P Bob Dole! http://selfequanimity.com/he-made-history-r-i-p-bob-dole/ http://selfequanimity.com/he-made-history-r-i-p-bob-dole/#respond Mon, 06 Dec 2021 06:17:01 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1527 This is a short one, I  heard on the news that Senator Robert Dole had passed, he was 98, he died peacefully in his sleep.  Unknown to most people, Senator Bob Dole was responsible for inviting Eazy E to the white house, it was a Republican fundraiser held by President HW Bush,  with one plate of food costing $2500 to $4000.  He got the invitation and attended the event with his lawyer, Mr. Jerry Heller. It was unheard of that a Republican President such as George HW Bush would invite a rapper like Eazy E to the white house. In those times Eazy E was having a “disagreement” with Ice Cube,  and other rappers. Ice Cube made mention of this in his song ” No Vaseline”.I never have dinner with the president “. Again Unknown to most people it wasn’t President Barack Obama who started inviting rappers to the white house it was actually President  George H.W. Bush.

Some sources say he was invited by mistake, I disagree with that because if he was invited by mistake they could have gone into damage control and turned him away at the door. There was time for them to crosscheck and double-check who was on the invitation list, they have secret service, they had all the resources at their disposal. I personally do not think it was a mistake. Every now and then it seems to surprise us,(especially black people ) that two people of opposing views can become friends, or even sit to have a conversation without a media frenzy!

Take the case of John McCain and Larry  Fitzgerald, A lot of people did not know they were friends. Their friendship run so deep that McCain came to watch his games, and they visited each other at home. Most people did not know this.   Mr. Fitzgerald even spoke at McCain’s funeral with a few jokes about how odd their friendship was. 

Maybe we all can learn from this!!!

Ice Cube, Eazy-E http://selfequanimity.com/ice-cube-eazy-e/ http://selfequanimity.com/ice-cube-eazy-e/#respond Wed, 28 Oct 2020 05:12:56 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=1045 Guess who met with President George HW Bush,? That is right  Eazy- E. Yes, the same Eazy-E who was in songs like “F–k the Police”.

Today former bandmate, “Ice Cube” is being demonized for talking to someone on  President Trump’s team, not even Trump himself, Ice Cube had to say over and over again that he hasn’t met with Trump, someone from his team just reached out to him. The funny thing about this is that we somehow assume that entertainers have to belong to the democratic party, if they don’t they somehow don’t love humanity or something.  I don’t know if Eazy-E, was a Republican or Democrat but he sure did meet with President HW Bush, much like his bandmate “Ice Cube” is trying to do now. 50 cent just supported President Trump simply on the basis of taxation, and he is being demonized by black and white people, According to Chelsea Handler, She had to remind 50 that he is black,  and no one has a problem with this.  Almost as if black people should vote for one party, regardless of who is the flagbearer of that party. The interesting thing about this is, how is it that Chealse Handler and Joe Biden almost repeat the same talking points,  Joe Biden said,  “if you have to figure out if you are for me or Trump then you ain’t black”, Chelsea Handler said, “I had to remind him that he was a black person”, does anyone see the similarities?????

Not only did Eazy-E visit the white house, but he also called George HW Bush a great humanitarian and thought he was doing a good job as far as operation desert storm.

To end this, I would like to say the marriage between entertainment and politics is something normal, and not new,  they say Hollywood and Washington have an intimate affair.  We as people should make sure that the entertainers we listen to are intelligent and politically aware.  I bet most people who lived through the ’90s don’t remember this.  He was also part of a Republican fundraiser where one has to pay thousands of dollars just for a plate of food. Some say he was invited by mistake, I on the other hand don’t think it was a mistake. Some say Eazy, spent $4000, others say he spent just a little over $2000, but another source also said that Senator Bob Dole, who was Senate minority leader at that time personally invited Eazy, so I wouldn’t call that a mistake, Some are also skeptical if he was able to actually meet the president, I say with these prices, I would like to bet he did meet with the president,  even if it was for a brief second. The fact that he agreed to go there in the first place should tell us something. Eazy was willing to sit down with a Republican president. 

Funny, a “Gansta” rapper and a Republican president paved the way for today’s rappers to visit the white house, the irony of this is that “Ice Cube” had a line in his song “No Vaseline”  that said, ” I never had dinner with the president”. it was directed at Eazy-E during his feud with the group.  To be honest, rap had more in common with Trump than even with the first black president. Meeting whoever is in power or whoever the president is should be an honor. It’s sad that because of emotions, a lot of people will only agree with a meeting if it is someone they like.
