JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL! Kanye West: Slavery was a CHOICE! 😲😒

Miss Donda must be rolling over in her grave! anye West dropped by TMZ on Tuesday to tell the newsroom staff that he loves President Donald Trump and that he believes slavery “sounds like a choice,” only to get completely shut down by writer Van Lathan. 

“When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice,” West said.

“Like, you was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s like we’re mentally in prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks. It’s 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’re the human race,” he continued.

In the snippet from “TMZ Live,” West is shown asking the entire newsroom: “Do you feel that I’m feeling ... do you feel that I’m being free and I’m thinking free?”

That’s when Lathan hopped up and said he didn’t think West was thinking anything.

“I think what you’re doing right now is actually the absence of thought and the reason why I feel like that is because, Kanye, you’re entitled to your opinion,” said Lathan.

The sportswriter and podcast host then explained what it’s like being a black man when you’re not famous or creatively talented like Kanye West:

You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but there is fact and real world, real life consequence behind everything you just said. And while you are making music and being an artist and living the life that you’ve earned by being a genius, the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives. We have to deal with the marginalization that has come from the 400 years of slavery that you said for our people was a choice.

Lathan said he was not only “disappointed” and “appalled,” but also hurt: “I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that you have morphed into something, to me, that is not real.”

The clip ends with Lathan insisting that West be responsible and West apologizing profusely. HuffPost reached out to Lathan for further comment and did not immediately get a response.

Now keep in mind Kanye has a new project due in June and this is his way of promoting the project. I personally think playing with Legacy for dollars is a bad precedence! But hey he gets it from his wife!

More Celebrities Respond To Keaton Jones Bullying Video and Mom has a new Controversy! 

Video of 11-year-old Keaton Jones of Knoxville, Tennessee, tearfully questioning his bullies went viral over the weekend and elicited a heavy response from celebrities, including those from the Hip Hop community.

From Cardi B to Chris Brown, many prominent artists came to Jones’ defense, offering solidarity via social media.

The child even gained a lifelong friend in West Coast O.G. Snoop Dogg.

“Say lil Man U gotta friend in me for life hit me on dm so we can chop it up love is the only way to beat hate,” Snoop wrote in the caption of his repost of Jones’ video.

In his emotional video, Jones asks someone offscreen, “Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What’s the point of it?” He then details the bullying he’s suffered at the hands of other children at his school.

“They make fun of my nose,” Jones said in the video. “They call me ugly. They say I have no friends.”

A GoFundMe campaign was launched for Jones and his family, raising close to $60,000 as of December 11.

The defense from Hip Hop and many other celebrities took a twist when Jones’ family was possibly exposed for being racist. A photo collage making the rounds online allegedly features questionable commentary and Confederate flag-flaunting photos from the boy’s mother, Kimberly Jones.

Well, Keaton Jones and his mother, Kimberly Jones, appeared on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday to address the backlash over the Confederate flag photos on her Facebook page.

Kimberly claims the photo was supposed to be funny and she’s truly remorseful about it because she doesn’t want to mess up the donations.

It was meant to be ironic and funny and extreme. SERIOUSLY? I am genuinely and truly sorry. If I could take it back I would.

I they wanna hate me and whatever – that’s fine. But, still talk to your kids…talk to your kids. This is an epidemic.
