Kanye TMZ Live Interview: "When you hear about slavery for 400 years. ... That sounds like a choice"
- Thread starter Senator Toadstool
- Start date
Smh yall really trying to sully a guy named Killmonger's good name by comparing him to Kanye. Wicked
what are you talking about? How is what he said anything like that? He said slavery was a choice because it lasted 400 years, not that black people have been talking about it for 400 years.
Edit: I am not at all surprised that you would misinterpret what he said so you push your "get over it" nonsense.

Damn. This is insane to watch. Poor Sway just trying to have a civil conversation.
User Warned: Inflammatory Derail
The father of a good friend got murdered shortly before he arrived home. She saw him in his blood, metalpipe in body.
She somehow managed to not go full dumbass. Most people manage to pull that off.
Edited to end the thread derail party.

Dude even white people are not that stupid. Don't throw him over to us now that he is broken.
LOL
Why are people still making excuses for a grown man? He's just stupid. Just call him stupid.
I think what he wanted to say in his head did not translate to what was coming out of his mouth. 400 years sounds like a choice, really? Celebrities.
You are missing what people are trying to tell you. You probably think what you said was somehow deep or thoughtful, maybe because you gleamed it from Kanye who you obviously idolize in some way. It was not, and that's the problem with some of his fan base. People choosing who they want to be or what they say is not in itself respectable. Especially someone in Kanye's position. It's ones actual actions or words that determine respect.
And my mom just passed away 2 weeks ago. It doesn't give me the right to be a contrarian jackass nor would I become one. Again it's not the act of choosing that's respectable but what we did with that choice. If I did choose to become a jackass and blame it on my mothers passing I would hope no one would call me respectable for that.
Omg. Right wing Twitter doing his fiasco last week was hilarious.
Great fortune cookie wisdom, I should appreciate it.
Mental stress can cause many things. Some things can be excused, like erratic behaviour, breakdowns, lack of concentration and much more. The issue with Kanye are not these type of issues. It is the content of his words. To become a dipshit, it had be in you.
He has a point that African American folks are expected to vote a certain way or have certain political beliefs. I have a few black friends that supported Hillary Clinton because thats what there family expected. But i do disagree with him saying that this goes against peoples freedom because it is still their choice anyway. But still him saying this does not mean he is trying not to be black.
He is right. Black folks are gonna have a harder time in the music industry because they are not white. There are racist people that wont buy Kanye's music cause he is black.
He is saying some controveral things and some of them i don't like but imo its a bit extreme saying that he does not want to be black.
The whole "Black people aren't a monolith" rhetoric doesn't excuse downplaying slavery. That's just some self hating BS and I hope someone in his circle gives him a good slap.
No. This is long overdue. Stans have been glorifying him and ignoring all the shit he's been doing/ saying for far too long. And not even now they can see the light on this clown.
Are you sure? He also mentions Jews and the holocaust.
I listened to it again and I think trying to derive a salient point from that mess is futile.
/shrug
Kanye is just crazy.
When you're as rich as Kanye is, you get to be one of the "good ones" and tell everyone else in your race to fuck off or pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
but I'm trying to figure out who on era here is stanning him so religiously? Y'all seem to be talking to some boogie man who's never in these threads lol
You cant make this a political thing or "he's just going against the grain" thing
Maybe it was a couple days ago.
Thinking slavery is a choice is not a political stance

God damn. That's so powerful.
Kanye....I don't even know what to say anymore. He is just gone.
I can't wait for the day when Kanye realizes that Trump is only using him for his agenda & eventually dumps him.
Once Kim Kardashian divorces his ass, he will have nobody left to count on for support. His former fans will continue boycotting him & his music, & his so-called "newer fans" will be dropping him like a rock & calling him a sucker as his entire career will be flushed down the toilet.

Honestly, I can't defend him anymore.
Feel free to call me out for defending him before this, but even his dragon energy and trump comments to me were pure attention seeking for the album and the bubble he's in and not being among the people and seeing what people in real life go through. I mean, you have people like Rihanna preaching about equality while she does business deals in Saudi Arabia to sell her products and dates a Saudi Prince while they have an open slave market and behead people every year. What I'm trying to say is that most rich people and celebrities live in a bubble due to their status and ignorant due to it, so it's best not to idolize them.
But this shit...to say people in those chains and shackles that had to defecate on themselves since they couldn't move, that they had a choice? Bruh

Kanye Wests New Testament, suddenly sounds a lot more scary: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhJBt0FfiJ0gXeWJTb
Zero respect for ppl who cant tell the difference between genius/enlightened individuals and people who are contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian.
There's a big ass difference. Its annoying seeing people who clearly can't differentiate between the two.
