Kanye West Sparks A Global Outrage After He Said Black People Chose To Be Slaves

Popular American rapper, Kanye West, has dropped another controversial statement about the racial divide in America, and this time, he claimed that the black Americans – who were forced into labour for over 400 years in America – chose to be slaves.
Speaking in an interview to promote his upcoming albums, Kanye affiliated slavery to Black people, in the same way Jews can be affiliated to the Holocaust. He said: “You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice.”
We’re mentally in prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because slavery is too direct to the idea of blacks. Like Holocaust is Jews, slavery is blacks.”
