Kanye West tweeted a fake Harriet Tubman quote on Tuesday night, just hours after he told TMZ that slavery was “a choice.” The quote appeared just after West compared himself to both Tubman and Nat Turner, two Americans born into slavery who were pivotal in the fight for abolition in the 19th century. - Harriet Tubman — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 2, 2018There’s no hard evidence that Tubman actually said this quote. Harriet Tubman never said that. This fake quote is actually pro-slavery since it implies that slaves deserved their condition because of ignorance or inherent servility. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 1, 2018if this was 148 years ago I would have been more like Harriet or Nat — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 1, 2018
