Because if someone says “it sounds like a choice” they are implying that it WAS a choice. It’s obvious that Ye was saying that for someone to be in slavery for that long when the black people had overwhelming numbers, that blacks choose slavery.
Btw - Kanye’s white nationist friends also push “slavery was a choice” and that slavery was the natural order of things - and that blacks were happier and safer as slaves.
lean into that bullshit if you want...
But it’s misquoting what was actually said…which is why I ask. If somebody says something that can be quoted word for word, why not quote it word for word….is what I’m getting at.
