The aftermath of Kanye West’s latest appearance on Saturday Night Live has reignited controversy regarding his support for Donald Trump. Yeezy’s continued use of the “Make America Great Again” hat and a tweet about abolishing the 13th Amendment have sparked outrage.
Fellow celebrities such as Captain America star Chris Evans have publicly criticized Kanye, and the Hip Hop community — most notably Swizz Beatz — has also reacted strongly to Yeezy’s latest MAGA endorsement. Hours after Kanye’s MAGA hat-wearing tweet about the 13th Amendment was posted, Meek Mill bluntly addressed Kanye’s love of the Trump-created catchphrase.
“Make America great again is disrespect,” he wrote along with a link to a video for Kanye to watch.
The accompanying video features an explanation of the Black Codes, which were laws passed after the abolishment of slavery in the U.S. These included the vagrancy laws and convict lease system, which were designed to essentially enslave people again under a different name.
Although Kanye’s original tweet was shocking, much of the controversy likely could’ve been prevented if it wasn’t so poorly worded. His subsequent tweets have since revealed his views are in line with the above video.
“The 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals,” Kanye wrote. “not abolish but. let’s amend the 13th amendment. We apply everyone’s opinions to our platform.

Lol says the guy making songs with a pedo
A pedo that’s probably a cartel plant
you aint bout sh!t so sit you sheep a$$ down comfortably back in your baby crib
69 is that you?
If you don’t like the United States (one of the first countries to end slavery) or white people (the people who ended slavery), you can move to whichever country will have you. Realize that tens of millions of slaves still exist on this planet in 2018. Don’t believe me? Do your research. Stop letting others tell you you’re a victim. If you believe in free will and your own agency over your life, tell the people who are pushing this victim narrative on you to go fuck themselves
You lost me the second you said US is one of the first countries to end slavery. Do some more research bro.
You guys aren’t mad at Muslims though. They enslaved 10 to 20 million Africans during their slave trade. Wanna know why you don’t see any blacks in the Middle East? Because they were all castrated. Sort of like you limp soy boys are, by all the propaganda you’re force fed daily.
Source?
Google Arab slave trade. You’re on the Internet. Don’t be lazy.
Oh OKKK, maybe you should pick up a book other than Mein Kampf once in a while. When all your research is conducted from biased sources, of course you’re going to have biased rebuttals in your debate. I’m sure you’re going to respond to my reply, but IDGAF as I’ll never see it since I have a more constructive things to do, like a company to run and a family to take care of, so I can’t spend all day running my mouth, trolling, and watching American History X all day like you. Hope you catch fire when lighting the cross at your next Klan rally.
FBI crime statistics are as unbiased as it gets. Even the SPLC, a far-left organization, admits they’re credible. Unless you can identify some way I spun or manipulated those stats, you lose. Calling me racist instead of refuting anything I said is just an ad hominem. You’re attacking me and not the argument. But that’s really just a mark of weakness. Remember- Facts don’t care about your feelings. Honestly, I do this for sport. I don’t go to echo chambers to hear my opinion over and over. If one person read this and learned something then I’m happy. And if not, at least I had fun running circles around you.
You live a very sad life if this is what you do for “fun”

Ummm you had to fail all your history classes miserably. United States wasn’t one of the first . White ppl didn’t end slavery. Slavery was being abolished around the world which was fucken up slavery business in the U.S. so fuck off with your misguided info You go and do your research please before you make an outrageous idiotic Statement again. White ppl tell lies like they life depended on it
First to the white guy looking to score points with blacks, you’re a try-hard and probably have zero black friends. There are 45 million slaves currently on the planet today, and none of them are in the western world. When did FACTS become racist? Bunch of vaginas
Umm I’m black btw. Thought you should know that. Sorry to kill your whole comment
Cool, if you read closely, that comment was directed at the guy who identified himself as white. It was a group response. You fruity leftists love to dogpile. By the way, how do you feel about the fact that although black people are 13% of the population, you commit 50% of all violent crime in the US? You must be proud
Wrong again . Where do you get your information? On the back of cereal box?
Violent crimes? On FBI UCR site it analyzes different crimes by race and sorry to burst your bubble but violent crimes by whites is at 59% while us blacks are at 37.5%. You can actually go on the website . NO BULLSHIT. Nice try and keep trolling alive. Your good at it
According to FBI UCR gov’t website (real website) it has white ppl committing violent crimes in the last 10yrs at 59% while us black folks are at 37.5%. Love to know where you get your info.
Perfect, I’m glad you found the chart! Study it. (1) You’ll notice that Hispanics aren’t listed on that part of the chart- for one reason or another, they’re factored into the white percentage. (2) even at the number you quoted, that’s 13 percent of the population committing 37.5% of all violent crime- that’s what you would call DISPROPORTIONATE- which means black people are several times more likely to commit violent crime than any other race in this country. White people make up 60+% of the population. Even if the 59% of violent crime you quoted was ONLY attributed to white people (which it isn’t), that would be on par with the overall population per capita, assuming all groups are equally committing violent crime. The fact is, they’re not. Sorry bro.
Hispanic column all the way to the right. stop that “they’re factored into the white percentage”.
You’re wrong. “A survey of state criminal justice data showed that 40 states reported race (e.g., “white,” “black,” “other”) in their arrest records, but only 15 states reported ethnicity.” Add up the percentages. Listen, on the bright side, now you know the truth. Pass the red pills on.
I should clarify- add up the percentages of white, black, American Indian, Asian, and Native hawaiian. Notice how Hispanic isn’t listed in that part of the chart. Now- If the numbers you’ve added equals 100.0, congratulations- you added correctly. Also notice how under murder/manslaughter, look at that number next to Black. Is it around 50%? Good. Now send this chart to all your “woke” friends and tell them how you just got destroyed over the internets.
Damn, some folks just love to hate. BTW, crime is a socioeconomic issue, not a racial issue. Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power.
Sorry, but poor whites still don’t commit crime at the rate that poor blacks do. But that’s definitely a factor. Here’s a bigger one- 70% of black children are raised out of wedlock. No father equals no discipline. Also, culture is huge. Look at Asians for example. They succeed for many reasons, but ultimately they work hard, value education, and instill those values in their children. Any culture that follows those principles will succeed, and that’s why Asians are the most financially successful race in the US.
Which books are you reading? Slavery still exists all over Africa. Today. Like, right now. Your Marxist professors must be proud of how effectively indoctrinated you are, you mouth-breathing fruit
bruh your not even coding your racism you just said if you dont like white people leave im white but if you dont like white people which for about half of us i dont you dont have to fuck off the country americas not a fucking white utopia you pig
Why are you so angry? White people are still in charge. Relax. Go steam clean your white hood and get ready for the next klan rally
Bro you must have zero self esteem. No race is in charge. Anyone can make it in America now. Get off the plantation of the Democratic Party, you’re just a pawn and don’t realize it.
Why would you say that brother? I am white. And I’m agreeing with you. See you at the rally! Unite the right!
This is the most ignorant statement I ever read in my entire life! You need to do some intensive research my friend! Please! Do not suggest anything about any dimension of slavery until you do some research. White education is an epic fail at best!
Lol bro. I feel bad for you. Google is your friend. Just search “how many slaves are there in the world today” – and see how many western countries are included in the modern slave trade. Africa STILL has slaves. Asia STILL has slaves. Tens of millions of them. I’m not happy about any of this- but it’s the truth. Stop blaming white people for all of your problems.
Meek Mill better be careful, Officer Kanye can easily get his house raided and his ass arrested.
Who you think invented the slave codes? Hint: Democratic Party.
Democrat republican same bullshit if you gotta be honest
Instead of attending a meeting with President Trump to actually discuss matters of importance, he’d rather send tweets at Kanye.. Yea, slavery today is a choice. A choice that Meek Mill has clearly chosen.
obama made america great!
he killed lots of kids if foregin countries and brought america GLORY!
When Kanye was in heavy debt asking Mark Zuckerburg fo’ some change, we was clowning him and none of “us” could assist. Now he got himself a financier in Trump and is fulfilling his obligation with this MAGA thing.
Don’t take it personal, it’s strictly business. Even his promo rant are just that… Promo rants. We think Ye is crazy but he got the upper hand here.
People are stupid, you think Kanye cares what you sleeping slaves think about him. You are all slaves, forget conspiracy theories you are all slaves. He doesn’t care what a bunch slaves think about him, if he did he wouldn’t have married a Kardashian. He is on his own journey he woke up and realised he can either obey the programme or disrupt it. And he has, all this guys meek, swiss, Jigga they know democrats are b.s they know the media is a giant propaganda machine, but they wanna buy their own kids out of the programme so they play their part, and keep you slaves docile and asleep. fyi these are the end times. Everything you knew as truth will turn into myths, conspiracies will be revolutionary breakthroughs. Kanye for better or worse is staying true to his path, the rest of you carry on sleeping.
