        This would be a better joke if millions of people weren’t still enslaved at this very moment...

        But many people do choose to be slaves nowadays without even realizing it. Slaves to a narrative, to an agenda, putting blinders on, developing a sort of tunnel vision that only allows certain types of ideas in. This isn't a left or right thing either, it can happen to anybody.

        How about we dont compare Chattel slavery and a historical genocide to anything?

        This isn't at all funny. Changing the tense on a line Kanye said that confuses people even when he's quoted correctly, is further dividing people. I thought you were supposed to be about humor, not furthering division & hatred. Pushing racism, as you are doing here, isn't a joke
