LOS ANGELES — Before the last one had a chance to simmer down, Kanye West caused another stir, calling American slavery a “choice” in an interview Tuesday. “When you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years, that sounds like choice,” West said on “TMZ Live” after questions on his pro-President Donald Trump posts and pictures that caused a dust-up last week. “You was there for 400 years, and it’s all of y’all?”“Do you feel like I’m thinking free and feeling free?” West asked the TMZ employees in the room. Also (I can’t believe I have to say this): Slavery was far from a choice.”Kanye is a dangerous caricature of an “free thinking” black person in America. “I just love Trump,” West said, adding that most in hip-hop agreed with him before Trump became president.
