Why is the United States so segregated?

1). Slavery in the US ended well before 400 years. 2). He was obviously talking about the mentality of slavery or mental slavery. He's been tweeting about thinking freely as an individual before that over and over. People are intentionally cutting the quote short and misrepresenting what he said or was trying to say.

1). I know this but that's not the point.  I already told you that "400 years" is a commonly used time frame to reference the slave trade.  So why would just randomly use the same exact "400 years of slavery" phrase if he was only referring to "mental slavery"?

2).  I'll post his words for you because you sound you haven't actually heard/read them yet.

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all. It’s like we’re mentally in prison. I like the word prison because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks.  Slavery is to blacks as the Holocaust is to Jews. Prison is something that unites as one race, blacks and whites, that we’re the human race.”

He was directly speaking about physical slavery at that point.  So, no...we are not misrepresenting what he was trying to say.  But you are.

First of all, slavery existed long before 400 years ago. People were not slaves in the US for 400 years.  He was saying they were mental slaves or in a mental prison for 400 years. SJWs like normal are getting triggered and misrepresenting anyone who they oppose. 

He elaborated more on his statement. He was talking about mental slavery. Some people just have trouble understanding words.
