Obviously, anybody forced into slavery isn't there by choice. You need to open your mind when you listen to Kanye...lol

However the statement that Trump's approval has increased among blacks and Kanye had a major impact on doing this, is nonsense.
Many blacks did not like this slavery crack. Yes we can interpret this as the conservative meme "taking responsibility for one's own situation", but so what? "Internal" slavery and wrong choices can be due to anything. Personal laziness is the right's answer. But poverty and a 200 year old built in structural prejudice of American society , is also in play.
Actual slavery experienced by Africans and others was never a choice. West was not doing anyone any favors saying this
Was the Holocaust a choice for Jews?
What exactly should blacks and Jews accept as their responsibility in those historical real life atrocities?
