As noted previously, we’ve never been a fan of Kanye West, but respect now how he’s refusing to back down from those wanting him back on the Democrat plantation.

His interview on TMZ must have been pure hell for them… “Kanye West: When I Said Slavery Was “A Choice,” I Meant “We Can Make Our Own Reality“

As we review that segment, we hear the echoes of history, and feel the deeper meaning of a thought process that remains open to the present and future…not slave to the past.

We don’t presume to speak for Kanye West, but can speak for how he’s made us think.

We know we’re not now living our great-great-great-grand-daddy’s life that was then…

…we’re now the sum total of a better vision. We don’t own or ignore his mistakes; but, also, we can’t whitewash them – or hold others accountable now…as if they still exist.

Ben Carson doesn’t see himself a slave; neither does Clarence Thomas, or Condi Rice.

We can’t all be neuro-surgeons, or Supreme Court Justices, or a Secretary of State…

…but neither do we have to be victims to what was long ago.

Those who vilify America’s Founders do so in the greatly-changed Present, without any acknowledgment of a willing American effort to stop evil slavery…at great human cost.

Like Kanye West, we see an irony of those in a black community who unquestioningly support the very political Party that, for so long, attempted to keep them down, and wonder at the ease with which deceptive verbal shackles can hold them captive.

We hear Mr. West suggesting people put more thought into their choices.

How can that possibly be dangerous – except, of course, for the deceivers?

Want some blowback for Social-Justice-Warriors?

We’ll end with this thought…if a black community sees the sum of our Founders’ efforts brought low by the single act of owning slaves, without a nod to America’s founding…

…without acknowledging America’s greatness, and the good its done globally…

…it would be akin to summing up Barack Obama’s signature presidency as no more than the act of funding suicide bombers…with the billions of dollars he gave to Iran.

BOOM! Uh-oh…another Obama legacy – one terror attack at a time.

Fair? Maybe not – but blame the Social Justice Warriors…they set the bar.

Besides…why put a lot of thought into it?
