    I just don't get how you can go from making a song literally called "New Slaves" to this...like I agree that people often mentally hold themselves back in some regard, but there's so many historical/social/political factors involved here and I'm glad the dude at the end said all that s---. It's only one small factor and such a strange hill to die on.

    There's such a big difference between someone from a lower class family deciding they're not gonna let themselves be held back mentally and kanye, a millionaire in calabasas married to someone from an even more astronomically rich family deciding they're not gonna let themselves be held back mentally. Dude just doesn't think.

    Yeah he's clearly not mentally stable. And again, I agree with him that the US is overmedicated...but I think in the case of mental illness medication can really help people.

    I think maybe he was suggesting that the idea of slavery, in modern day, is more of a mindset. He said 400 years of slavery, black people were slaves for roughly half that in america. But its worded so terribly that i cant be sure as to what the f--- he was trying to say.

    if this was on twitter, there would be backlash still, but it'd be less then a f---ing video of him saying it on TMZ

    He REALLY screwed the pooch on that one.

    Kanye definitely has some sort of mental illness IMO, so I would feel bad making fun of him to a point. Kayne just needs a medicine like a benzodiazepine to slow his thought process down so he can concentrate on what he really wants to say instead of saying something over the top in the wrong way. Maybe he’s a little schizophrenic too. I don’t think weed really helps his personality I don’t think he’s the type of person that should use weed and gives it a bad rep.

    However, I do feel the slaves could have teamed together against slavery sooner; as well as all the white people that had common sense that were for protecting basic human rights. It shouldn’t have been going on for more than a year and people should have fought back and got the point across. Extremely disgusting time period for the southerners. How could you think that was morally right?

    The sad thing is, it was mainly just business to a point and slaves were so accustomed and raised to work for the slave business that it got out of control once people saw all the money in it. Kanye had a point about them letting it go too far. There was also money involved on some blacks too not just whites.

    Perhaps the weirdest part of this meltdown is so many people's insistence that this is apolitical despite Kanye parroting right wing talking points pretty much exclusively. Being outrageous as a marketing tactic or contrarian by nature doesn't excuse you from the consequences or implications of your professed ideology.

    tl;dr ayyy lmao we're in h--- y'all

    He’s undoubtedly egocentric but he’s actually sick. The guy had a mental breakdown a year ago & was hospitalized. We really shouldn’t deny this anymore. Kanye needs help & I hope he gets it sooner rather than later.

    He got help and he’s better now. Liking trump isn’t a mental illness no matter how much you wish it was.
