Kanye West Roasted On Twitter Over Slavery Comments At Howard

Twitter Reacts To Kanye West Slavery Comments At Howard

Kanye West is quite known for his insensitive remarks and just yesterday he made another blunder while speaking at Howard University.

Howard is an historically Black University. Ye made the controversial statements about Black people and slavery, that many are not cool with it.

This isn’t his first time and might not be the last as a trait exhibited over time is one’s personality.

Kanye went viral in 2018, when he told TMZ that he believed that Black people “chose” to be enslaved by Europeans.

Kanye said, if Black people didn’t “want” to be enslaved, it wouldn’t have lasted 400 years. While the maltreatment of Blacks in America lasted for hundreds of  years (and still today), legalized slavery in the United Stated lasted about 200 years.

That’s the same amount of time that jews were enslaved in Egypt.

Kanye West doubled down his claims during his speech at Howard homecoming.

“Next time the slave nets come out, lets all try and not stand in one place.”

Greg Carr, an associate professor at Howard’s Department of Afro-American Studies, asked his followers to send Kanye to the library after the performance.

“I have some books for him,” he wrote, followed by the hashtag #TheMiseducationOfTheNegro.

Twitter users have also been reacting to Kanye’s comment and they’re not taking it lightly with him.

I think it’s time we let him go

Last time I checked, slavery STILL wasn’t a choice.

Shame on you, Howard.

The irony of this statement is every black person dodged the Trump net and he went and ran up under it when he saw the rest of us weren’t in it.

With the number of crap albums he’s released lately…well let’s just say the Lord giveth…the Lord taketh away…blessed be the name of the Lord.🙏🏾

So Kanye West hijacked his way into my beloved alma mater Howard University’s Homecoming this morning. I hope you fools supporting him remember ‘slavery was a choice’ while you’re down there foot-stampin’ and buckjangling at that jackleg “Sunday Service” he has. https://t.co/wyPapqRBUN

As a Morgan Alum, he wouldn’t pull this cult bullshit at @MorganStateU. We know better. He said slavery was a choice and said Trump is like a father to him. Do better Howard.

This is sad, Howard skips over White Male ownership of
racism in AmeriKKKa, buys Kanye’s Americana we are
equal (slavery was a choice) bullshit. Fuck Kanye.
Fuck his cooney church service please unfollow.

This man rapped about The Panthers but now sits
down with Trump.

What concerns me most is that people of color are still buying what this man is selling. Victim blaming.

You can tell Kanye doesn’t read

Kanye West went to Howard a HBCU and said and I quote

“If they’re throwing slave nets again how about we don’t stand in the same place” on slavery……

This man is 42 years old

— God’s Trombone (@TheBlackCyde) October 12, 2019

Ahhh he makes a good point! Remember when 10.5 million of our ancestors got caught by that one net awhile back? Crazy times

— ZOMBIE LAND BILL MURRAY (@MarkasSolomon) October 12, 2019
