Title: Kanye West just said 400 years of slavery was a choice

Tuesday brought us two Kanyes.

The first was a man who opened up about his mental health, his family, and his art in a nearly-two hour interview with radio host Charlamagne Tha God. The second was a Kanye who appeared at the TMZ headquarters where he had this to say:

"When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... For 400 years? That sounds like a choice."

The rapper went on to add:"You were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned."

Provocative statements are second nature to the 40-year-old rapper. And this week he's been making headlines left and right, including proclaiming his love for President Trump.

But when he made his off-handed remark about slavery, TMZ employee Van Lathan took him to task for it.

I honestly just don't get this guy. Maybe he had a "Road to Damascus" moment. I don't know. This is the same guy who said Bush hated black people for the supposed slow response to Hurricane Katrina.

He didn't say anything very definitive. "...sounds like a choice..." is a long way from "it was definitely a choice". He has plenty of wiggle room to backpeddle from this. And he will, after reaping a lot of free publicity for his name brand.

I think he might agree with Trump on one thing: there's no such thing as bad publicity.

"When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... For 400 years? That sounds like a choice."

Kanye is right. It WAS a choice. A dual choice.

The Whites chose to do it.

And the Blacks chose to submit to it, rather than rising en masse and murdering the Whites.

When peasants and serfs and slaves rise en masse, sometimes they win. In Haiti, the French masters were destroyed and the French government driven out.

In the Virgin Islands, the slaves revolted and refused to work, and massed around the government buildings demanding that the Danish colonial government decree their freedom. The government had two choices: do so, or refuse to do so and face probable violence and death. The Whites submitted, issued the decree, and that was that: the slaves were freed. There was no fighting or killing.

The peasants of France did not gain their equality by requesting it: they overthrew the government by force. They endured their status for centuries, and then decided not to. They always had the power in numbers to do that. They bore with imposition for as long as it was bearable. Then they broke the chains.

America did not obtain its independence from Great Britain by requesting it.

Slaves who revolt pay a terrible price. But then, slaves who don't revolt do also.

Taxpayers of an oppressive country are wage slaves. They grumble a lot, but they revolt rarely.

Dickhead! The Israelites did not stay in slavery to the Egyptians for 400 years out of choice, the Africans did not stay in slavery for 400 years to the British, the French, and their successors the Americans, by choice but by the lash.

Do you honestly think a slave revolt in America would have succeeded? It took the military might of the union army to overcome the slave owners and their lackeys and what did the slaves do, stood by and watched, too cowered to do anything

Dickhead, West’s reference to choice, regarding slavery is a reference to FREE thinking. To be stuck, TODAY, on reverse racism, because MSM has brainwashed the sheeple in thinking the way MSM wants to think.

West claims to be a free thinker... and he believes the mobs are against Trump, because the mobs are willingly slaved to think Trump is bad.

Dipshit.
