Kanye West‘s quest for the US presidency hit quite the roadblock moments ago.
Because the ever-outspoken star just uttered an incomprehensible statement about celebrated Civil Rights activist Harriet Tubman while on a campaign rally in South Carolina.
Watch the shocking footage below…
Speaking to a stunned audience, West exclaimed:
“Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people.”

Abhorrent.
His words follow reports that his family are allegedly concerned that he’s having a bipolar episode.
West previously made headlines for saying slavery was a choice.
Kanye said this and I left immediately. I went for a laugh and I got one. But when it got disrespectful for me it was over. pic.twitter.com/nNqjUp03mu

The fact that he’s actually having a rally & allowed to run, Shows how much of a joke our country is becoming. Harriet Tubman DID FREE THE SLAVES READ A HISTORY BOOK KANYE! I can clearly see what the media & government is doing. It’s all about shock value, getting clicks & views & money. No credentials are needed anymore to be president, sad..
Um actually she didn’t , actually read and know real history
. . . . . !
Isn’t it time this fool was Baker acted again?
Kayne doesn’t understand the difference between slavery (being owned by another human who can legally do anything they want to you) vs. being paid to work for a white person.
He’s such a COOONNNN.
His ignorance is no longer surprising at the point so it does not shock me. The shocking a d heart breaking part, is the fact that he openly talks about not wanting and considering an abortion of North at first. Somethings are better left unsaid and that was one of them. North is at reading age and can ask questions. Imagine reading this as a child and find out your parents didn’t want you but also considered terminating.
It’s time for Kim and Kris to step in and involuntarily commit this man. This is clearly a maniac episode he’s having and they’re doing nothing to stop him. He’s the one that needs a conservatorship tbh
I mean he’s not wrong. Today we are not “free” we basically work for white people in white america under an impression that we are free. So where is he wrong at?
Omg shut up. What are you, 12? Working is a choice. No one forces you to do it. If you don’t like it, start your own business or just quit your job. Easy.
I don’t work for white people even though you might
It’s still Trump for me 🇺🇸

+1
I wish that your parents paid more attention to you as a kid 😪Tired of reading your stupid ass comments just cause you want attention
Why do people dismiss all of the foolish things he does and continue to buy his music and clothing?
Bc he’s a man. If a woman did this she’d be done. Imagine Rihanna, Madonna, Bey Saying all this foolish ish
Why does he always have these episodes whenever an album is coming out?
But it’s true, the “freed” slaves went to work for other “nicer” white people
So, if someone works for a white person that person is automatically a s****? Slaves had no options, but free men did.
I promise these idiots are just repeating what they hear thinking they sound smart. So only black people work for a paycheck now?? White people work for white people too! You think they’re all millionaires? Cmon now
Instead of playing semantics with Harriet Tubman’s legacy, why isn’t he calling out any of.Trump’s 18,000 lies? Or Biden’s problematic legislative record? Mental illness is just a red herring, ego is the culprit here.
i hope the free britney people realize why she needs her conservatorship and to be forced on meds. i can imagine her being this mentally unstable and ridiculous. how embarrassing
No, Britney was never as crazy. Actually she just wanted to be left alone but was forced to be in the spotlight. Kanye on the other hand is a narcissist
And Britney is under conservatorship…
There’s really nothing she can do! You can’t get committed for being crazy or exhibiting odd behavior! That actually against the patients bill of rights and against the law! 51/50 holds are only used on people who are a danger to themselves or a danger to others! If you are holding someone at knife point or threading them with bodily harm then they can arrest you and put you on a 51/50 hold. Or if you write a public s****** note and try to take a hand full of pills and someone stops you and calls the cops they can put you on a 51/50. Beyond that he is free to be as crazy as he wants and refuse his meds too if he wants they can’t make him take it either.
He has to realize he has a problem! He’s in denial! Even if he’s in the hospital he can refuse all they can do is reapproach him later! But if he attacks someone in there ie: nurse/patient they will hold him down and give him a very strong sedative but that all they are allowed to do.
