That’s utter nonsense.
What do you say to someone who says slavery of the 400 years of the black experience is a choice? He‘s not talking about now.
If he wants to speak in riddles then he has failed to communicate what he wants to say or you think that he’s saying or wants to say
As far as the institution of chattel slavery - the treatment of slaves as property - in the United States, if we use 1619 as the beginning and the 1865 Thirteenth Amendment as its end then it lasted 246 years, not 400

So the "take down" is someone telling kanye he isnt black enough to truly experience being black.
The reason being given is hes creatively talented.
So to be truly black you can't have creativity or talent?
I call BS.
Just like you wouldnt have made a thread about kanye about this guy body slamming him to wall if Kanye was D not an R. IMHO.

It's just a matter of time until Kanye goes to some Rap show and a stage hand cleans his clock.
You reap what you sow in the entertainment biz.

You have NO understanding of this!
He said NOTHING about being black. He spoke of legitimate social degradation of a group of people because they are black and that is NOT a choice.

The "You're an Uncle Tom Card™ " conveniently played in arguments between black people for over 160 years.

Works both ways though.
Back when kanya was saying that bush doesn't like black people the right hated him for it but now that he is saying what they want to hear they embrace him....

Man, this is the takedown of ALL TIME!
Some ordinary guy listens to Kanye's bizarre rap and quietly and efficiently TAKES HIM DOWN!
At about 1:50 in this video you will hear a devastating takedown of Kanye West
www.huffingtonpost.com...
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice,” West said.
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.”
When one speaks from the heart some light and truth come forth, that's what we witness in this video

All the Alt-right racists love the stupidity and blindness of a black man who wants to blame the victim.
This is Alt right nonsense. Kanye can be a hero of the alt-right. We'll see how far that gets him.
Trump cries every day about how the press is hurting him. Why is that justified? Is that Dragon energy, Isn't he being a victim
You people NEVER LOOK AT YOUR OWN BS
