So a black friend of mine agrees with Kanye

[Will Ross]

If you agree with Kanye you simply don’t understand what slavery is.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

I guess Nate Parker made that movie for nothing.

add Amistad to that mix too - the first slave revolt movie.

i'm saying slavery overall, the institution. we outnumbered whites in the south something like 20 to 1 at one point.

but they had guns, kept us ignorant, gave us christianity etc etc...that's the "discussion" i'm referring to. it's not new.

the best movie on slavery that covered all of this was Sankofa

 

[I Really Mean It]

I'm not sure THE AVERAGE nikka IS A c00n

That goes quite far. Sure the vocal minority is here, but we can see the response in cities when something happens e.g. when a black brother gets killed by police. The streets fill and it's with black people from that community, the average person. These are not c00ns.

Are those streets filled with people putting in real work? Are they mobilizing protests in the neighborhoods where these murderous cops live? Are they confronting the family and friends of those officers? Beyond marching and screaming "Black Lives Matter," what tangible effort are they investing towards the cause?

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

I DON'T EVEN THINK MOST GET WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY. ON A VERY BASIC LEVEL KANYE WAS SEMI RIGHT. THERE WAS A CHOICE BUT IT WAS A REALLY REALLY shytTY CHOICE. SOME REBELLED OR COMMITED SUICIDE TO AVOID SLAVERY.

SOME PEOPLE CAN'T SEE DEATH AS A CHOICE. IT'S A ROUGH THING TO LOOK DEATH IN THE FACE AND CHOOSE IT.

 

[8WON6]

at the end of the day black people did try to fight back. Kanye didn't deliver any truth. Saying black people chose to be in slavery is minimizing the scope of white supremacy. It shows his ignorance outside of a production booth. He's king of the smart dumb nikkas. the use of phrases like "freethinker" is just a flip on how people would say some clear bullshyt and call other people close-minded.

 

[Master Teacher]

A plurality of black people in America are scared of white people and entirely beholden to cacs for everything except oxygen. And even the air we breathe will soon become a commodity, thanks to the damage wrought upon our climate by these demons.

Isn't that the point Kanye was making when he said slavery was a choice

he basically called yall nikkaz cowards, and yall more mad at him instead of the oppressor for it, so he is right

you get what you deserve in this world, nikkaz got let the weak die and ride out

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Anyone ascribing any form or intelligence or importance to anything said by Kanye is on the wrong path or is trying to make money.

The media/Pundits: Trying to make money/ratings.
Kanye himself: Trying to sell records and make money.
Other 'celebs': Trying to be seen and hop on the new wave, maybe rekindle some limelight, get some checks in from the exposure, restart career,etc.
Idiots on fb and social media(some of them black): Are just unimportant idiots with nothing else to do or say with their time.
White people: Trying to ease their guilt for past,present and future crimes

all of this is just cheap smoke and mirrors......the real issues are here to be discussed in the present day and are being ignored( police brutality, systemic racism, gerrymandering,etc)

 

[Wisdomkeyz]

Slavery itself was not a choice

But being a slave was

If you were born into slavery you had no choice so there's nothing you can do about it

But as you grow older and learn you can choose whether or not you wanted to be a slave

That's why you had the slaves who ran away to Canada with Harriet Tubman they didn't want to be slaves anymore

Kanye is just a pseudo intellectual who says smart dumb shyt and when he does say smart shyt he says it in the dumbest wayy imaginable

 

[Kairi Irving]

I disagree with Slavery being a choice, but he also said a lot stuff that was true


Free thinkers, crazy people being free / geniuses is true.

Steve Jobs, Einstein and many others throughout history were called crazy but people benefit off of so much creations from these people.


Now, Slavery is a choice sounds stupid. I would understand if he meant having the mindset you are in slavery is a choice.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

I read the full “choice” statement and I get where he’s coming from. He was a victim of quote mining here tbh.

Exactly but black folks really believe everything they hear and see from massuh.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

99.9 percent of humans will choose to live under the boot of oppression than risk their life to fight for liberty

it set people off because ye is not well spoken he's a fruit.loop looney.toon nikka

& most black people have been conditioned to take the word slavery personally

where as i have said in other threads every race on every continent has had slave populations

so get the fukk outta here trying to tie slavery as being exclusive to black.folk

it's a fact 99.9% of all humanity is here to get hoed out & exploited

ye is crude & childlike in speech he tripped the wrong wire here

he delivered the truth in a unacceptable way

*

spot on.


and I agree with ye


Mfs called me a c00n n bushed my thread for exposing most the people who disagree as c00ns themselves.

Disagreeing with Ye is basically saying that whites are the sole reason we are free. No mf has been able to prove me false., they just neg, report n bush. This forum is pretty much the male nerd shea butter twitter

Nah, Kanye disrespected the memory of millions who were held under bondage at the barrel of a gun, calling them cowards instead of the captives they were.

 

[Y2Dre]

I understood what he meant, it was a horrible way of saying how society places limits on people based on groups they’re apart of.

Society deludes certain people into believing they’re limited to certain choices, slaves were just a horrible example of what he was trying to say.

 

[Master Teacher]

Nah, Kanye disrespected the memory of millions who were held under bondage at the barrel of a gun, calling them cowards instead of the captives they were.

Sam Bass literally beat his plantation owners ass and walked off the plantation

fukk the memory of some slaves, I'm not a fukking slave we are not these people, they put out those shyt because they want you think of yourself in that like

He didn't respect anything HE TOLD THE TRUTH

The truth but it is what is

and today people are still choosing not to confront white supremacy full on, if your feelings is hurt so be it doesn't change reality

John Brown was a cac that planned to over thrown the government to end slavery and was snitched on by a c00n how is that not a choice

you see all these c00ns today HOW IS THAT NOT A CHOICE

stop feeling sorry for yourself a man up

It's a shame that people's blind hatred for Kanye has made them oblivious to blatant clickbait by TMZ.
