Wait, hold on. Actually I am absolutely on board with you and agree with 100% of what you just said. It just sucks that we live in an age where the speaker gets forgiven for communicating in shorthand and the receiver has to do some pretty nuanced and sophisticated interpretation. This is, again, another parallel to Trumpism where he can barely put string together a coherent sentence, followed by weeks of analysis of what he "meant." Sometimes the intent is clear, but it's still mangled in the execution. Kanye might have meant what we think he meant, but he still said what he said while trying to express it.
I think you correctly identified the sentiment (although I'm not quite sure how to square it with his earlier statements that slavery is actually just a choice), but Ye's phrasing still puts that on Tubman and not on the system she was living and operating in. I stand by the opinion that it's a weird choice (or deficiency in his ability to communicate clearly) that in trying to describe the problem, he put it in words in a manner that puts Harriet Tubman on blast.
As for Cannon, all of the Black Israelite stuff is a pretty loaded topic and I have to confess that it gets pretty confusing for me sometimes. Please join me in the Wild 'n Out thread for more.
