        He never said that slavery was a choice. He said that retaining a victim mentality after 400 years was beginning to sound like a choice. And it absolutely is. To triumph over adversity, one need only choose to Rise Above victimhood. Or just go ahead and stay in that 'hood.

        Hey, John, I see that youre trying to paraphrase, but he didn't say that at all.

        “When you hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. Like, you were there for 400 years and it’s all of you all? Like, we’re mentally in prison." Yes, I was going for context and subtext. But the CBS takeaway was what he didn't say at all.

        There was a lot of dialogue in between "were mentally in prison," and the 400 year context. He meant exactly what he said. I can understand if he mispoked, I'm a human just like he is so I'm not judging. What I don't understand is why you're twisting his words to try to fix it.

        I'm really not trying to twist his words. That's why I included the exact quote. I believe he was trying to deliver an empowering message and that it is the media who is twisting it to further promote divisiveness and spark baseless outrage in service of their own interests.

        He didn't apologize for saying it, he's just doing the "sorry YOU feel hurt by it" non-apology.

        "...for how that slave comment made people feel" He still thinks it. He just thinks people should be appeased by his "apology" instead of being hurt by his commentpic.twitter.com/m9EfbBT8hW

        Chewed more than he could handle. I won’t speak against anyone who supports him but I can’t. To explain your over thought understanding of Slavery or mentality behind it you are on a side against the Slaves. Shouldn’t have taken it public unless you know what your talking about.
