In the full 30-minute exchange on the set of TMZ, Kanye West talked about why "spirit" inspired him to embrace President Trump's "Make America Great Again" hat and attitude. Comments Kanye made about slavery, liposuction, and opioid addiction in the first few minutes overshadowed the coverage of his larger point: Break out of your mental prisons.
"I knew there was going to be a reaction" to wearing the hat, he said. "But I'm just living my life day by day doing what I feel and what the spirit calls upon me to do... I know I disappointed the black community when I wore the hat, it is a bigger plan, and I'm just doing what the universe told me."
"We're mentally in prison," Kanye West said. "I like to use the word prison because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks... Holocaust/Jews, Slavery/Blacks. So prison is something that unites us as one race, blacks and whites being one race, the human race. We're human beings and stuff."
"Black people have a tendency to march when a white person kills a black person or wears a hat but when it is 700 kids being killed in Chicago, it is OK. it is OK for blacks to kill other blacks. But if it's a white thing... 90% of blacks are killed by other blacks," he said.
"I think we have to get next to everyone," he said later about President Trump. "If we don't like Trump, we have to talk to them, We have to talk because Trump is a human being also, and he is in a very powerful position, and he is doing a lot of things to actually help business owners get past all these fake laws and rules and things...

The protesters of the 50s wanted to live like “Whites”.
They didn’t fight to be “Black”. They had that already.
This fellow is starting to interest me.
THis was a good observation
“We talk about race so much we don’t even talk about class,” Kanye added. “There’s a class war happening right now too. And the class war is one of the reasons why Trump won because Obama was so high class that it stopped speaking to the lower and the middle class. He’s so classy”
Know nothing about the guy...but if the black vote went from
10 to 30 percent the rats are in trouble...
He meant that living the slavery, reparations and usual cult crap that keeps blacks down is a choice. A choice not to make.
The Democrat party is a cult.
Yes, it is clear that is what he meant. Slavery is long over but some are enslaved in their minds. That is a loser attitude in life.
This guy has legs for sanity.
Liberal kryptonite. careful everyone.
Hey Kanye we know exactly what you meant.
Every black person I know interpreted West’s remarks the way Maxine Waters did, wrongly. It was so obvious what he was trying to say , yet because it went against the black narrative, he was vilified for it.
He’s making people think about it though.
Kanye is humanizing every person’s potential, regardless of race. That’s a beautiful thing.
Too late Kanye. I knew that when you first made your statement that you screwed up, saying it the way you said it. The enemy picked it up and broadcast your error far and wide.
Cant unring that bell.

Being a “Victim” meant you got special treatment, add on to that the “slave guilt” and angry black uprisings and all of the placating has made things even worse for them
Watch the TMZ interview with Kanye & Candace Owens, very interesting....
Careful, Kanye. You may not be worried about the Crips, but you better be worried about these types. They're plotting an end to your "show".
They know. There will be disagreement between black people on that issue. Most likely, in time, more people will like what the Trump Administration is doing. That’s the trend so far.
When I first heard Kanye’s words, I thought of this...Bob Marley
