RE: Kanye West, Twitter and the Slave Trade - For The Blockchain Memory Project #2

Kanye knows damn well that slavery was not a choice. He is seeking attention and wants to create a buzz around his name because he is about to launch an album and wants maximum sales. Most of these celebs put money and power above everything else. He doesn't care if he hurts a whole community or opens up closed wounds. All that siding with Trump, twitter rants, firing his manager is all publicity stunts.

Sort:  

Hmmn, that's quite horrible, to be sincere. That is why we shouldn't keep quiet about it. A lot of young people look up to Kanye and it will be unfortunate if they hold on to his words, and then grow up with that belief.

Thank you for the upvote.

You are welcome.....I liked reading your post- slavery was such a great injustice to Africa.

The only ish I saw that I was not too happy with in the slavery history was how African leaders/elders actually sold our own people to the whites.
That was mindset haven't totally left us.

Hi Solomon....you are right....I didn't look at it from that angle. But like in my country Kenya, the arabs would come through the Indian Ocean, capture the Africans then sell them to the whites without the consent of the elders.

Are you talking about the trade or does this still happen in Kenya?

Yes am talking about the trade in the 16th and 17th century. At-least it can't happen these days :)

Ah okay. Well, it can happen these days o. Did you hear about Nigerians used as slaves in Libya? They were also sold, and that is recent.
