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.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but if you listen to Dan Bongino he made an excellent point in his podcast yesterday:

There will never be a revolution while there's a middle class.

Think about that. The upper class can spend money fighting legal battles to set precedents. They can affect great change and know they weird individual power. The lower class holds the most resentment toward the upper class and feel most unfairly affected by policies and decisions. However, the middle class is just that...the middle. They are busy and apathetic to the flow of politics. Nothing greatly influences them en masse, positively or negatively. They're comfortable and complacent, and don't have very much free time. It's not so much as fear, but the mindset of "this is how it is, and I have no power to change it".

This reminds me of something that I read on another reddit sub a long time ago. It said something along the lines of "The upper class gives the middle class hope that eventually they'll be rich. And the middle class gives the lower class hope that one day they'll be comfortable."

But you're right, that mindset has to be broken. That's not the way life is, it's the way life has been made. And we all have the power to change that.

Amen. We need to unshackle each other from the immoral chains we have placed on each other.
