Kanye West said slavery was a choice (Obama, KKK, dollar)

[Glitterific]

Kanye’s only genius is in music production. He can’t even articulate himself well enough to get his asinine ideas across. He admitted he hates books and hates reading. He is also parroting pretty much everything Candace Owens has said. Anyone who considers him a genius needs their head checked.

I hope his initial fan base cancels him, so he can enjoy a new fan base of conservatives and MAGA hat wearers. See how many of them will be buying his concert tickets. Imagine trying to appeal to a bunch of people who wouldn’t want him or anyone who looks like him in their neighborhood or in the same schools as their kids.

Too bad Kanye wasn't around to advise Nat Turner.

Maybe this all started because he has a secret crush on Candace. I wouldn't blame him, compared to who he is with.

isn't this the same guy who's wife got famous for doing a porno movie with another guy when her Mom sold the home made tape to the highest bidder?

Kanye's statement was wrong and very hurtful. I'm sure he lost much goodwill from people with this inaccurate account of history, of slavery. blaming the persecuted for their ill treatment, torture, and murder by others is outrageous.

It was a very inelegant way of saying whatever he was trying to say.

Well often the choice is death or capitulation, and often even those who choose the former can be overpowered and forced in to the latter.

Kanye has admitted he doesn't read books.

Celebrities, entertainers, sports figures etc don't necessarily have to be either articulate, nor knowledgeable about anything out of their profession. They say stupid stuff all the time. Sometimes on purpose to get whatever publicity they can get, positive, or negative. They often thrive on controversy.
