      I don't think this is right at all. Kanye isn't trying to push black voters to the right. He's literally said that he liked Bernie's policies over Trump's. He liked Trump for stuff besides his policies.

      You gotta take the slavery was a choice thing with a grain of salt. His words get ahead if his thoughts in situations like that TMZ interview. He needs a lot of time to articulate his thoughts, and when he doesn't get that things come across wrong.

      Obviously he didn't mean slavery was liteterally a choice. He was trying to make a greater point.

      It's the same thing with the Harriet Tubman didn't free slaves. There's two ways to take that.

      1. Kanye is crazy and thinks that the Harriet Tubman freeing slaves is some sort of lie and never happened. This is what the media is trying to make it seem like he meant.

      2. He meant that even after slavery, former slaves still weren't free. They just moved from slavery to wage slavery.
