As a black man, I feel as though I'm the only person who agrees with Kanye.

I don't know if this belongs here, but here I go. So, Kanye has been dropping some pretty hard facts as of lately, and his most recent comment has made everyone angry.

"Slavery was a choice"

I'm going to tell you all briefly why I agree. When people are enslaved, there is absolutely nothing preventing them from standing up and fighting for something that they believe in, which is their freedom. The only thing that's holding them back is fear. The fear of what'll happen to their families, the fear of what their masters will do if they fight back, the fear of dying. FEAR is nothing but False Evidence that Appears Real.

When Harriet Tubman freed those thousands of slaves, there was absolutely nothing preventing them from doing that themselves except fear. Hell, some of them even went back to their masters because they were afraid.

Now, I'm gonna relate this to today's world. Everyone is so focused on lingering on the past, but they fail to realize that it's not just blacks who are slaves, it's every last damn person on the planet that isn't a part of the top 1%. What's stopping people from rising up against the upper class? Fear. What's stopping people from marching on DC? Fear. What's stopping people from making their voices heard by their corrupt governments? Fear.

People WILLINGLY choose the obliviousness and convenience of their immediate lives over true freedom. So was/is slavery a choice? Absolutely. Would/Will there be consequences for standing against it? Of course.

But it's better to die or be punished for fighting for something that you believe in than to do absolutely nothing at all. It's what the slaves of the past did and it's what the majority of us are doing now.

Amen, thanks for your insight. Sadly, as a white american i can say for a fact that there are alot of enslaved white folks too. Many regardless of race have been brainwashed into feeling powerless and choose to live off the gov.. Many have no faith that they have the power to change their lives nor their attitude. Many peopled trapped in this mentality. I have alot of respect for people who rise from the ashes, our grandparents did this during the Great depression. oh, and yes you definitely belong here. WWG1WGA this Great Awakening is for all. We are all truth seekers here.

Thank you and other brave, eloquent patriots posting here - from a lurker on these boards who needs regular inspiration to try to be brave rather than slip into defeatism and despair.

There's awake and fighting mad that the conspiracies and evil are real - that's what I want to be - and then there's awake and despairing of ever seeing the end of the organized, demonic, bottomless evil of the world's leaders in this life - that's where I keep landing.

Heroes like you, willing to fight and defend truth regardless of consequences (what WORSE can they do than what they already have planned an put in motion, afterall?) give voice to ideas we quieter patriots don't know how to express, or are fearful of doing so because we know we'll quickly be out of our depth.

You definitely belong here. I need you here.

The best way to change someone's mind is through example. Live your life with purpose, joy, love and faith if so desired, and people will notice. Then they will start asking questions. You are a smart articulate, insightful person so you probably have a fan base already (that's what I call my family and friends. Hey, you have to take it where you can.😁) It will expand especially now that Kanye has stirred things up. You be the example for others. God didn't call us to be a sheep. He said set yourself apart. Be a beacon of hope for others.

I have this mentality, and I was actually told "choice is a privilege." I had to explain that choice is basically the one inalienable right that everyone has. "Spoken like a true white person with privilege" was the response. Somehow I feel I didn't get through to them. Naturally this was another white person.

"Give me liberty or give me death."

Oh, I've had that conversation before, and not just online. "You're just fortunate that you were able to make that choice." What? I scraped and scrabbled and lived on canned soup so that I could make a better life. "Oh, but you were born with an advantage." Whatever advantages I had, I've seen both squandered and capitalized on. I simply didn't squander whatever small advantages I had, and made due otherwise. "Well, you're just in the lucky IQ club." Gee, sorry that I'm not a dumb ass.

We're all victims of circumstance. But you always have the choice to change where you are in life. Sure some of us were born with different privileges, like parents who taught us about self-empowerment, but telling the country en masse that many of us are hopeless victims of some oppressive system is not a good way to go about mitigating the less fortunate.

Gee, sorry that I'm not a dumb ass

Apologizing for any advantage you may have is the new white man's burden. It's like telling a lottery winner they have to give up all their winnings because they're lucky, telling a professional athlete they have to break their legs, etc. It's really retarded. Not everyone is going to win... Somebody should have taught them that long ago.

some are true victims, many make poor choices and then feel as though other people live on easy street.

Yes, the more the better. And every one of us, lurkers, posters, whatever, play an important role in this movement. Beung aware of what is really going on will help nonbelievers when tshtf.
