At some level I think Kanye\u2019s just amused to coopt a shift in white culture into his persona before Taylor Swift

\n

So today Kanye West went on TMZ Live and delivered an oration to the newsroom to the effect that American slavery lasted so long blacks must have been complicit

\u201cLike, you was there for 400 years and it\u2019s all of y\u2019all? It\u2019s like we\u2019re mentally in prison. I like the word \u2018prison\u2019 because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks. It\u2019s like slavery, Holocaust. Holocaust, Jews. Slavery is blacks. So, prison is something that unites us as one race. Blacks and whites being one race. We\u2019re the human race,\u201d he continued.

And a random staffer stood up to challenge him, and got feted around the internet, and then went on to discuss the incident on his galaxy-brain, racially aware podcast about culture and society for the non-ignorant, \u201cThe Red Pill Podcast\u201d

Why is 2018 like this?
