Wow.

 

So how long are you guys gonna argue about this?  The US isn't even 300 years old.  400 years of slavery refers to the length of time that the Transatlantic Slavery Trade existed transporting slaves from African countries to places around the world.   It is not a misconception.  It is not an SJW trick.  The term has nothing to do with the existence of the United States. 

 

You guys... man just wow.

I'm not sure anyone has mentioned 400 years of slaves in the US.  Just 400 years of black slavery.  But the main point is that "400 years" is an oft used statement to describe the time frame.  For Kanye to just randomly say 400 years without any insinuation of the known phrase is ridiculous.   He said "400 years" because of that oft used phrase.  Therefore he meant physical slavery.

Can't believe we have people here and elsewhere actually believing he was expressing ONLY mental slavery.

But hell, let's actually look at that angle.  400 years of mental slavery.  How is that time period determined?  400 years ago was 1618.  What established and factored into 400 years of mental slavery starting around 1618?

He elaborated on what he said several times and said he was talking about mental slavery. Even on the show, he clearly was talking about it that sense.

This is all an attempt to ignore what his points were. This kind of stuff always happens to blacks who admit they are right-leaning or that they don't agree with democrats/progressives. Just keep on condemning him for thinking differently and pushing people to the right. Do you goofy butts not realize how high trump is in the polls and that he's gaining more support in the black community more than ever.
