ON KANYE'S IMPLICATION THAT BLACK PEOPLE STAYED ENSLAVED FOR 400 YEARS BY CHOICE

This is exactly how I've felt about kanye's silly behind for years. Nothing he says is worth discussing that deeply.



In case you missed it,
Kanye's original comment:
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years,” he said. “For 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all. It’s like we’re mentally in prison. I like the word prison because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks. Slavery is to blacks as the Holocaust is to Jews. Prison is something that unites as one race, blacks and whites, that we’re the human race.”
He then proceeded to talk directly to the entire office before TMZ reporter Van Lathan shot back at him for his comments. “I actually don’t think you’re thinking anything,” he said.
