Kanye is a slave to his own idiocy

KANYE WEST brazenly declared that slavery sounds to him like it was “a choice” during a contentious TV appearance Tuesday.

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years — for 400 years? — that sound like a choice,” West said during an interview on “TMZ Live.” “Like, you was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s like, we’re mentally in prison.

“I like the word ‘prison’ because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks,” the rapper explained. “It’s like slavery, Holocaust. Holocaust, Jews, slavery is blacks. Prison is something that unites us as one race. Blacks and whites being one race.”

When asked to clarify, West responded, “Yeah, right now we’re choosing to be enslaved.”

The 40-year-old artist made headlines last week when he proclaimed on Twitter that President Trump is his “brother” and that they share “dragon energy.”

He also wore a “Make America Great Again” hat in a Twitter photo and later showed that the cap was signed by Trump.

He went on to say, “I just love Trump,” during the interview and pointed out that Trump was popular subject matter for hip hop artists before he became President.
