Kanye Explains His Latest Slavery Comments
by EG
Kanye West doesn't want slavery to be reinstated. He just didn't realize that that's what he was advocating when he said the 13th amendment to the Constitution should be abolished. Read on for an explanation.

Kanye West was supposed to drop his ninth studio album on Saturday, Sept. 29. Two days, three “SNL” performances, one tweet from Kim Kardashian-West and an appearance on “TMZ Live” later and Kanye’s “Yandhi” is pushed back to Black Friday, November 23. West admitted to Harvey Levin that he “didn’t finish” the album in time, and a member of his management staff suggested pushing the release back.
Like many, I don’t watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told “no”), was great. He’s leading the charge!

“I started incorporating sounds that you never heard before and pushing and having concepts that people don’t talk about,” West said of the project. “We have concepts talking about body-shaming and women being looked down upon for how many people that they slept with. It’s just a full ‘Ye’ album and those five albums I dropped earlier were like superhero rehabilitation and now the alien ‘Ye’ is fully back in mode … We’re going to Africa in two weeks to record. I felt this energy when I was in Chicago. I felt the roots. We have to go to what is known as Africa.”
the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals

Kanye also clarified a tweet he posted on Sunday calling for the 13th Amendment to be abolished. After reading a prepared statement by frequent collaborator and friend, GLC, he discussed his intentions.
“‘Abolish’ was the wrong language,” he explained. “I misspoke by saying ‘abolish.’ ‘Amend’ is the right language … What’s beautiful about our Constitution is we can amend it.”
