Kim Kardashian Does Damage Control After She Misquotes Kanye West Slavery Comments
Dec. 7 2018, Updated 1:23 p.m. ET
Yesterday, December 6, a new clip of Keeping Up With The Kardashians was released and then promptly taken down. In it, Kim Kardashian addressed the controversial comments Kanye West made about slavery as a “choice.” However, the KUWTK star misquotes his original statement.
In the clip, Kim told the cameras, “I always know what Kanye’s intentions are and what he’s trying to say, but I also know that they’re going to write a headline and people are gonna assume that that’s exactly what you said and what you meant.”
She continued, “He didn't say slavery is a choice, he was saying if you're going to still be enslaved for another 400 years then that's some bulls**t.”
However, Kanye's actual statement was, “When you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Like, you was there for 400 years and it's all of y'all?”
