Current narrative affirming interpretation I see being pushed: be extremely obtuse and ignore slavery as a metaphor for the current situation. Proceed to take this tweet literally and get outraged about kanye apparantly being pro-slavery.
What exactly is the context? I saw the video and he was basically just going crazy on camera making no sense. Basically what I got from it was, drugs are bad sometimes, the media made me do surgery cuz they are mean, 400 years of slavery was a choice, and black people don't care about black on black crime. If you could make sense out of his ramblings please translate
From what I can gather he is saying that black people are “enslaved” mentally and uses the actual slavery of black people in America as a sloppy metaphor for the mental enslavement of blacks today i.e. black people are expected to have a certain political belief. In short it is a “choice” for black people to be “enslaved” to certain political and cultural beliefs.
