Under what seems like misguided and inflammatory bluster about Trump and slavery, Kanye is offering a radical vision for the future: one premised on the idea of building Black wealth, intellect, creativity and power.
Of course, I know that slaves did not get shackled and put on a boat by free will. My point is for us to have stayed in that position even though the numbers were on our side means that we were mentally enslaved. The reason why I brought up the 400 years point is we can’t be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years. We need free thought now. Even the statement was an example of free thought. It was just an idea. We are programmed to always talk and fight race issues.
Where I and so many others took issue with his comments is that it’s a dangerous and false idea to suggest if you cannot break the binds of psychological terrorism, it’s because you’re a mentally weak person. That is just another way to pathologize Black people and blame us for slavery’s evilness. So I’m not feeling the comments for that reason. But I want to understand what he was actually trying to articulate.
