If Nat Turner/Denmark Vesey/Toussaint L'Overture was quoted as saying the same thing that Kanye said, how would you feel about it?
There were men that realized that it was a choice and did something about it. They risked and/or lost their lives over it, but the disgrace of being subjugated and treated as farm animals, was worth losing their life over.
Turner and Vesey weren't so ignorant to not realize they did not in fact have numbers on their side in VA and SC.
They also both (all 3 actually) realized they were in relatively privileged positions that afforded them the opportunity to look beyond the daily struggle to stay alive and the access to even minute resources others would never even be exposed to the existence of.
None were arrogant enough to think they were the only ones fighting or that their brethren had simply passively accepted their degraded conditions. They realized the importance of time and place, knowledge and resources, circumstance and luck.
They'd also question this man who never even struggled by his era/society standards denigrating millions whose sorrows and complexities and triumphs his narrow experience and lack of intellectual curiosity could ever fathom.
They'd dismiss this megalomaniac presuming he measures up to the smallest enslaved child's covert resistance to a horrific system...
much less themselves.
