Pusha T about the Drake Blackface & Statement: "You are silent on all black issues", “You have all the platform in the world."

The idea that slavery involved systemic brainwashing is hardly a new concept. Maybe if you never read or learn fucking anything.

Obviously he expressed his point terrible but you are literally a retard if you think he meant that black people CHOSE to be enslaved like we choose to go to the grocery store.

He was saying that while black people sometimes outnumbered white people 100>1 on the plantations, they did not rebel due to widespread fear and the violent and terrible way other rebellions were put down.

You are the one being obtuse if you are acting like you don’t get that.

He was also comparing the plight of the current black American to slave times, in that maybe once a system has absolutely no right or priviledge built into it that you don’t have access to, the reason for your oppression may be cultural.

Please explain to me how white people force 78% of black fathers in cities to abandon their children.

Im sure it’s much easier to just rehearse and reinforce your same narrative over and over again instead of actually thinking critically though.
