Is slavery a choice - In defense of Kanye West



Some Palestinians chose to die fighting for what they believe.
Refugees chose to risk it all trying to escape a repressive regime.
Illegal aliens chose to risk their life crossing the border for a chance at a better life.

A slave chooses to remain a slave.

Well..., when you spin it that way it is easy to see that you are playing devil's advocate in order to get people riled up ;)

At various stages throughout history every nation or race, has been vulnerable to subjugation and exploitation by more powerful aggressors.

In the event of the indigenous population of a country or or a group of countries being overrun and enslaved there are options available.

1) Passively accept your fate without active resistance and take what's coming, or,

2) organize a campaign of sustained, relentless and bloody rebellion until your oppressors recognize that the price of subjection is too high and look elsewhere to apply their iron fisted tyranny.

As the Bongo had neither the organizing ability nor the will to resist they chose to submit to their slave masters.

The ending of Bongo enslavement was due to the actions of articulate, intelligent white men such as England's William Wilberforce and James Oglethrope who were incensed at this trade in human misery.

Left to their own devices the Bongo would still be picking cotton and singing 'Ol man River'.

Note how the Bongos show their appreciation.

Kanye should spend a month in the life of a Syrian citizen back when chemical weapons were being used and police brutality was normal. :)
