Kanye is a cornball with low information and high fructose corn syrup, but what he’s saying about slavery soaks in the same implicit anti-blackness as “They wouldn’t have been able to keep me in chains.” Or “I wasn’t built to be a slave.” Or “Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.” Because if you would have been born a slave in America when black people were born slaves, you would have done what 99.999% of the Black people born then did, and that’s die a slave.
This is not a mark against you or your ancestors if you happen to descend from slaves. Instead it is proof of their strength and resilience and faith and fight. If you are alive today, and if your life is the eventual product of people who, hundreds of years ago, were born in and died in chains, your very existence is a ******* miracle. That they went through all of that and are still able to, a half millennium later, have a legacy through you is a **#king miracle. That they were able to live long enough, through all of that **#king sh$t, to still produce and continue life is a **#king miracle.
Anti-blackness — the lesson plans for white supremacy’s multi-disciplinary base curriculum — is so relentless and pervasive and nimble and tricky that it has attempted to convince us to regard the men and women who came before us as something other than the ******* miracles that they were. We ain’t all come from kings and queens, and that’s fine. We mostly came from people who fought and clawed and scratched to etch space to be human when the economy of the entire **#king country was predicated on preventing that from happening, and that’s enough. That will always be enough.

The slavery is a choice comment nullifies all his other comments, and tangents......Nobody owes his ignorance nuanced analysis.The rudimentary analysis that some of y'all are giving his words is astonishing. Especially considering that I have seen many in here, on other threads, vigorously state how multi-faceted issues are. Kanye explained his statement in the very next sentence when he described mental imprisonment. To ignore that is to not discuss this in good faith.
That's the thing in all this, as I stated earlier in this thread, I heard a black guy say to a white girl how what ye said was TRUE. White girl was agreeing with him too, lmao! Kanye giving people a pass to spew ignorance, not in front of me, checked them both.This has been pretty sad to see.
At the end of the day, I think everything he's saying is COMPLETELY for buzz and shock value and he doesn't care about the impact his words have.

Ye lost me with this nonsense.
The problem is black (all folks really) folks who live in a bubble, have college degrees and make 18$ an hour think so highly of themselves, and like to separate themselves from the lowly poor folks down there.the fact that voluntary mental enslavement of the african american community makes more sense to some people than hundreds of years of reinforced social and cultural conditioning and a society, laws and economy that stems from it blows my mind. but we're in the age of trump so anything is possible
Dudes want to call suicide "cowardly" all this time, now all of a sudden it's the hero's way out. One cat in here said he'd rather kill himself than watch his family go through it. So what happens to your family after you're dead?
This, I don't understand the "but Kanye..."The slavery is a choice comment nullifies all his other comments, and tangents......Nobody owes his ignorance nuanced analysis.
Did I miss the discussion about this buffoon admitting to having liposuction?
This **** reflects on the type of person Kim K is too...she doesn’t get to walk off and wash her hands....what a ****ty wife to allow your husband to go out and make a fool of himself like this
This was the most ironic part of all this. Playing the victim saying the media forced him into plastic surgery because he didn't wanna be teased all while accusing black people of playing the victim for 400 years of slavery. No one man should be all that ***** made
