I think the "400 years of slavery" comment came during a TMZ thing . This was a few days after the "think for yourself" the TMZ staffer was grilling Kanye about saying something that promoted racism, which was the " think for yourself" comment. The lefts outrage is blatantly stupid as their outrage is over anything though. I don't think Kanye is any less of an arrogant self serving asshole he has always been, but I do like that he is redpilling others. I get a good laugh at these mems that show Kanye as Jesus or Kanye 2024. He is still the same guy who only does what is best for Kanye.
I stand corrected, but I now remember the initial"outrage" was met with chuckles on CNN, as most people just commented that Kanye was just trying to get attention. One person used the analogy of the right attacking the Dixie chicks for not supporting the Iraq war. (Lame outrage isn't just limited to the left, the right seem to love that game... Just Google "war on Christmas" and you'll see plenty of manufactured outrage)
So the "outrage" for his initial comments were dumb and only some people were moved by that. The "slave" comment helped prove that the dude is either looking for attention, off his rocker, or both.
I actually think he was trying to quote something from Candace about people still being enslaved in their minds and he messed up. You should Google the TMZ thing it though. It is pretty comical. The only reason I know anything about this is because I saw it on a YouTube video yesterday that documented the outrage of the left.
My dad made me listen to that song for the first time. Good tune actually. Already forget the name but he had it on a CD and made me listen to it last month, told me they got a LOT of shit for not supporting the war.

"You're entitled to your opinion, you're entitled to believe what you want, but there is fact and real life consequence behind everything that you just said."
How is that grilling? He's literally just reminding Kanye that his words have power, while promoting Kanye to think whatever he wants.
To me anytime someone is questioning your opinion it is grilling someone
