  1. Watch the whole interview he's talking about slavery in your mind. Slavery hasn't been going on from the 1600`S to the present day which would be 400 years. it ended with the civil war. Where 600,000 Americans died to end it. In the whole interview he says slavery wasn't the right analogy it is more of an imprisonment of the mind. I by no means am saying kanye is a brilliant speaker but at least he is using critical thinking and evaluating the situation in America democrats are trying to divide us by any means necessary to keep us from seeing people with opposing views as people. He said treat people with love have a open mind. Which USED to be a mantra of the left but no longer is. More people are seeing through this. Do some other research listen to and read other people you may not agree with and Maybe they have stuff you do agree with or at least you can evaluate what they say with an open mind to help you formulate a better response to why you disagree. Just shutting people down because you don't agree with by calling them racist is losing its effect. You are belittling real racism by doing that. We truly need more tolerance not just for racial diversity but diversity of thought. Demonizing people of other races whether they are black Latino white or whatever or because they merely disagree is equally wrong. The answer to speech you don't agree with is more speech. Let people expose themselves for who they are and people will see. When you shut people down it actually gives them power. It makes more people curious to see why they are so bad and gives them an actual grievance to complain about. I'm starting to worry if we can ever come together as Americans again especially when so many people hate their own country and fellow Americans. Please let's come together as Americans again and actually listen to each other. I have respect for you and your ideas wether I agree or not and when I disagree I'll speak up but never ask you to be silent. That's freedom of speech it's important as Americans we don't lose that.
