by the way, I hear that “400 years of slavery” line being thrown around the fake news media.
According to history.com, the first slaves came in 1619:
“Slavery in America started in 1619, when a Dutch ship brought 20 African slaves ashore in the British colony of Jamestown, Virginia...”

Since slavery in America ended in 1865, that would be 246 years of slavery.
Am I wrong?
In a subtle way, I think that is Kanye’s point. Any African American who talks about “400 years of slavery”, well the last 152 were by choice.
