[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3493950, member: 18225"] I get that, but it’s not that simple. Kanye acts as though once slavery was technically abolished, that was it! But it wasn’t...Jim Crow, redlining, ‘separate but equal’, on and on and on. It’s not ‘mental enslavement’ by choice, it’s systematic disenfranchisement by the powers that be. And the police, and the three strikes laws, and the private prisons, and the disproportionate sentences handed down to African-Americans, and the ‘driving while black’, and the ‘talk’ that you would never have to give your kids, but which AAs have to impart to their children, which is ‘don’t scare the sheriff or you’ll get shot, etc. This isn’t a sob story about the black population in this country buying into some self-made ‘mental enslavement’, it’s just the reality on the ground if you’re not white. You’re as clueless as he is. Cheers [/QUOTE]
