I‘m of the opinion that he genuinely believes what he says.
I think he means well; he just needs some support.

So if he genuinely believed he was Jesus, you’d be okay with that and would think he needs more support?

I think his comments were all sarcasm. Think about it, those are the people with the loudest voices, and all saying the wrong stuff, to instigate trouble. If they are slaves, it is to their own bad desires.

No.
I’d think his ramblings were obvious manifestations of his bi-polar disorder.
And yes, I’d believe he needed help and support.

I think the NBA is a figurative or ideological modern day slave ship. Look at how the NBA is tied at the hip to China and slave labor. Look at how the NBA is openly pushing socialism. I get it. Some of you see some Black guys who get rich via the NBA and see no way slavery can be evoked. But, I beg to differ. If an NBA player of today is openly against the Chinese way of doing business that player will be out of a job.

Look at how Lebron pushed for punishment of the Rockets GM for his public criticism. The same Lebron who helped push for players to wear catchy slogans on back of their jerseys for the fight and then chose not to do it himself because it’s about him.

Can’t wait for millions of liberals to tell Kanye how well blacks have it these days and that they are in fact very free to follow their dreams.

Bro, the NBA is in bed with a pro-slavery and anti-religious government and Black athletes are the face of the NBA. Kanye is a crazy like a fox.

Where do I sign up to get onto one of these slave ships? Do I need to have a certain type of privilege? Are the white, Hispanic and Asian people in these industries also on the slave ship?

Lol I’ve seen major leaps to connect imaginary dots in this thread alone but pretending an assumed upvote is the same thing as judging validity or character is on another level.

Yeah, then they can be just like everybody else, and work for a living. That's not slavery, they have a choice. The only thing they are slaves to, is their own greed. He was talking about contracts, do you think slaves ever had contracts?

The music industry does actually frick a lot of artist. Like majorly. My cousin is in the band My Morning Jacket and some of the shite he has told me is crazy. You basically get trapped in horrible contracts and raked over the coals for years. Own your masters...or masters own you.

NBA that is some bullshite. They make 50 percent of revenue.

Lotta plantation hands on this board. You’ll find them in threads vehemently defending pedophiles, rapists and murderers every single day.

I see white guys who get rich via the NBA and see no way slavery can be evoked. Color has nothing to do with it.

Does the NBA have some bs, hypocritical strings attached to playing for them? Absolutely. But that’s not exactly unique to that career, and it’s just silly to compare it to slavery. There are actual slaves around the world, and no NBA player wants to switch places with them.
