I think you just realized what you said about slavery was indefensible so you’re trying to run it back so you don’t get bushed

:camby:

yeah maybe. but i AM a loser tho. i feel like that all the time,man.
i relate to ye so much.
i also had a breakdown a few years ago.
i also went to the mental.
i also thought they were out to get me
i laso refused therapy (still do, but i get its purpose)
i also feel hatred from most people that get to know me
i also have crazy ideas that i dont realize are crazy untill i say em outloud in front of people
i also dont hate trump like the rest of the world (as a person he is funny af)

I might get negged but how nigras praise kilmongers speech and downing Kanye when they essentially saying the same thing?

If Physical slavery existed the same way it did then now - would you rather die or just accept it as life?
Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from ships because they knew death was better than bondage.

400 years of slavery sounds like a choice.

One is a line from a movie script that was probably revised a hundreds times to sound dope and the other is just some off the cuff rambling. They both mean the same thing to me which is two nikkas saying shyt without really understanding what it is that they're saying.

Your ancestors jumped from the ships to escape bondage because they were stolen away from their homeland and witnessed horrific shyt. You were going to be put into "bondage" because you started a civil war and tried to start WW3 in your first 3 days as king. That's a false equivalence of circumstances. One is escaping hell and the other is escaping consequence. A tyrant equating himself to a helpless slave.

"400 years of slavery sounds like a choice" is something a nikka that doesn't really understand the severity of what slavery was would say. Lupe's comments cover a lot of the fukked up shyt that happened in order maintain the system. To say that slavery was a choice would suggest there were other real options. When your "choices" are be a slave or cease to exist its not really a fukking choice.

The craziest part of all this nonsense is that the guy who was broken mentally by the tragic loss of his mother and never recovered is one trying to kick some "why didn't they just fight back?" shyt.

So you saying if cacs didnt decide to end slavery mfs would have and should have just been slaves up until this day?

That's basically yall mentality to be quite honest.

There were nikkas rising up both violently and non violently. There was no be a slave or cease to exist. The most read story to slaves was exodus for christs sake. I dont blame my ancestors for choosing to be a slave, the risk of freedom for most was far to high. But fact is, they chose it. Atleast the ones that understood freedom should be a possibility for them. Nothing wrong with admitting that.

So based on what you are saying if physical slavery was brought back today in 2018 would you choose to be a slave or die?

Ive always been able to separate the person from his art (I like Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, etc.), but Kanye has gone too far; I can’t seperate is actions from his art anymore.

I’ll admit, I thought he was trolling when this crazy talk first started, but I don’t think that anymore. Kanye is using his platform to spew vile, hateful, stupid rhetoric. I think he actually believes what he’s saying. I think this is due to him being manic, but he’s crossed the line. Like, what the fukk, Kanye? Slavery was a goddamn choice!? What the fukk? :wtf:

White supremists are gonna use this to justify their unwarranted haterd of Black people. Neo-nazis are gonna use this to promote their agenda. Impressionable young people, who are Ye fans, are gonna think his ideas are correct. Ye needs to recognize that his statements are so bad for society.

Crazy people believe the things they say otherwise they wouldn't be crazy. So people need to stop saying Kanye is trolling. He believes the things he says.

Stop falling for the media circus show. Didn’t Rhymefest who was one of his best friends say he suffered from mental illness for years? Dude was in a straight jacket 18 months ago. Oh yeah 5 years ago didn’t dude wear a flight jacket with the confederate flag on it and say “ it’s our flag now” :scust:. Now he can’t be managed:yeshrug:. Who goes to TMZ for an interview:hhh:. Kanye will do or say anything for attention:scusthov:
