    Man who genuinely struggles with life in a mansion in Calabasas, thinks he’d be a revolutionary during slavery. OK.pic.twitter.com/L0YF71kEzD

        The greatest indicator of who you'd be during slavery or any previous era is who you are right now. If today you find yourself kissing the ass and wearing the hat of the bigoted leader, THAT'S who you'd be in previous generations.

        So many elders from the Civil Rights Movement told me that people should never assume who they'd be under the pressure of previous generations. It's disrespectful. And that if you aren't fighting for civil/human rights NOW you damn sure wouldn't be doing it in the 1850s/1950s

        I'm not even worried or concerned w/ him per se, just his influence. He says he's great, says he's revolutionary. What has he done? Been popular, made millions, married well. That is not greatness. He is not a learned individual, just another someone who likes to hear themselves.

        Objectively, as far as financial security and popularity is concerned, he did. Subjectively, well, that's a horse of a different color.

        His below average knowledge and understanding about slavery is unremarkable, He's quoting fake internet quotes and quotes by cartoon characters. He's focused on liberation now? I think we are witnessing a manic spiral.

        But if slavery was just a choice why would you need a Harriet or a Nat (per his logic)?

        Can you imagine Harriet or Nat getting liposuction because they were afraid other people might think they're getting fat?

        No. But mostly because the surgery didn't exist then. 😉

        @kanyewest needs to put his words into action. A man that is doing nothing revolutionary now would have done nothing revolutionary then.
