Take that in the context that Kanye made his comments, maybe he’s not so crazy?..........?

What I have read about black slave traders is that African tribes would often go to war against each other. Of course, to the victors went the spoils, which included men, women and children that tribal chiefs weren't too keen on supporting and having their captors live in their midst with the potential of them rising up in revolt. So, they came up with a common sense solution: Sell their black captives to white buyers. It was a huge win-win all around for both parties to the slave trade. The tribal chiefs got rid of potential enemy threats and traded them up for more useful and practical items. And the demand for slaves in Europe and America was big, so there was plenty of profit to be had for the white traders.
This is the dirty little secret that liberals don't want us to know.
