Sometimes when you hear something you n
Kanye's Statement has a certain fact that is not said by many historians, since the slave trade to Africa has been monitored and operated by Africans themselves.

This is made clear when you read the history of West Africa on Slave Trade. You will see that no white man was allowed to go interior for Slave chase, what they ought to do was to wait along the coast where they could meet with the local slave traders who could bring slaves for trade bargaining.

Africans also left this business to be carried out for over a period of over 400 years. This shows that some people were being hurt while others were benefiting.
 
This is very true/correct analysis of the historical facts
 

You think our ancestors never tried to fight back? They were more braver than us.
He was supposed to blame this current generation and not our ancestors.
They played their part to attain this freedom and now one has the audacity to mock our ancestors.What a shame?

Those were the days where real men like Martin Luther King and MalcolmX stood for what they believed in public sio kwenye social media.These giants got threatened and even assasinated.

Some 21st century guy disrespects history in social media and people call him a genius smh.

The real kittens are us and not our ancestors.Blame it on us and us alone.We have failed to conquer the world in freedom and we blame it on our ancestors? Shame on Kanye!
 
Halafu Kanye is the fake rapper he knows nothing about doing time , matter of fact hajawahi kukaa hata siku remand, amekulia kwny suburbs anatokea middle class leo anaongelea jela anaongelea utumwa

Kwani kuwa real lazima uende jela??? Basi na jigga nae ni fake kwa mantiki yako, ni sawa na kusema kuna watu wawili mmoja ana IQ ya 150 na mwingine 90 halafu ukasema mwenye 90 ana akili kuliko mwenye 150 sababu mwenye 90 alisomea mpk PhD.
 
This is a product that never feed afrocentrism rather than pseudo history that apologetic stance towards white privilege, and he still argue that there is prevalence of choice in the processing of much slavery in those 400 year

literally the guy never speak about history, in steady he is just trying to show business here, may be he is sending a message
 
There's always a choice.
Which one? People fought with mythical ideology wanting water to work like a charm whilst the slave masters had guns and knowledge. Leave this resistance is a recent event. Back in the slavery time The option they had was to run.

Only Few societies took advantage of their Geographical location to resist the invasion, otherwise had noway to fight back people with guns. Mind u there was no negotiations with those taken to be enslaved, the only option was to surrender or run be saved by your feet.

It was not willing, people cried to be separated with beloved family with no hope of meeting again, now tell me a Choice they had
 

Well said, but kanye is not talking about the freedom fighters , he is talking about those who bowed down because they chose to remain submissive instead of fighting for themselves.
 
Mkuu, whatever he stands for, he has a point and that matter most.
 
Is this really? I never knew this before.
 
You are talking about enslavement process, of cause choice wasn't there. This dude is talking about slavery for 400 years. Be mindful of the fact that racial discrimination is in the verge of being eliminated and it took the rightful minded niggers no 400 years.
 

My great-great grandfather fought in the maji maji war, he made his choice, either live on his knees or die on his feet, he chose to live on his knees.

i totally second to your view
 
You know what? Its not that our ancestors or we modern blacks fail to make choices...we do make choices.
A lot of our ancestors made choices.
They did.
The real problem lies to the hiprocricy,arrogance and greed among the black race.

There were blacks who chose to fight to end slavery with sweat and blood yet there were blacks who pulled them down,chose to benefit from slavery instead.

We have failed to learn from history and look now where we are!
We are now free and some people choose to pull us down.We are pathetic!

We love pointing fingers at each other.We are hypocrites.
Take a good example of Tz 50+ years of independence,we see problems some people will choose to be true and yet others will pull them down,greedy hypocrites ! Bloody hypocrites!
Its hyprocricy!
That's what eating us.
Its not that we didnot choose to be rich free and independent.
We did.But the greed and the hyprocricy among some of us has been too much!
 
And it will never end otherwise they take a step back home. Hata nyumbani kwenu akija mgeni mkamkaribisha si damu yenu kaja tu kwa sababu za sababu mkaishi nae, akazaa akaanzisha vizazi vyake mkaishi navyo, historia itabaki hiyu si damu yetu amd si wa hapa kwetu. Inabaki ivyo hata milele historia haifu and as longer as binadamu ni wabaguzi kwa asili wataendelea kukubagua tu. Bila kuingiza Siasa "ndio maana hata sisi leo bado tunataftana flani alahojiwe uhamiaji si Mtanganyika.

Maana yake kuna ubaguzi mrundi au Mrwanda kuishi Tanzania. So in such a case sasa ulionielewesha the option they had ilikuwa wafanye kama waisrael pale Misri Mungu aliwakomboa kwa style moja tu not to unify them and be Egyptian but taking them out of Egypt back Home
