Rapper Kanye West, who planned to become the president of the United States, said that slavery was a conscious choice of African Americans

The famous American rapper Kanye West, who planned to become the president of the United States after Donald Trump, said that the enslavement of blacks, which lasted in North America for several centuries, can be regarded as a personal choice of slaves.

The artist shared his opinion on the air of the entertainment television channel TMZ . “When do you hear about slavery that lasted 400 years? It sounds like a choice,” Kanye quoted the Russian news service .

According to the publication, the rapper gave rather confusing explanations, from which we can conclude that he spoke about the psychological consequences of slavery, with which the African Americans still live.

“We are mentally in prison. I like the word“ prison ”more because slavery is too directly related to the idea of ​​blacks. Like a Holocaust, these are Jews, so slavery is black,” a television radio broadcasting corporation quoted his words.

The African American employee of TMZ Wen Laytan with anger objected Raper that his statement expands the lack of thought in him. “You have the right to believe what you want, but there are facts, and for everything that you said now, there are consequences in the real world, in real life. We have to deal with marginalization caused by 400 years of slavery, and you said that for our people this is such a choice,” Laitean was indignant.

West also once again expressed Trump's sympathy. Recall that the rapper announced his desire to run for presidency back in 2015, but then pushed the term for 2020. He noted that he did not have a clear idea of ​​politics, but there are principles for people and truth. At the same time, it has been rumors in American society for not the first year about West’s shaken mental health.

At the same time, Kanye West was repeatedly called one of the greatest artists of the 21st century. He became one of the best-selling artists and won the 21st Grammy Award, thanks to which he is one of the record holders in the number of won nominations and a record holder among hip-hop musicians, as well as artists of his age.
