Kanye West Says Slavery Was a Choice, Accidentally Spawns a Meme.............. - Gimbiya - 05-03-2018

21. A couple of people imagined their ancestors making this choice

Yes, people can directly trace how far back their ancestry goes to slavery. It's not as far as you'd think.


22. This person had the same idea
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-22-ghana-to-ba...-chose.png]
This version of the past is what plenty of people would love for others to believe.


23. Some of these are wild

Anachronisms make for great humor.

24. You'd get weekends off, right?

Again, actual slaves had zero of the "luxuries" for which modern, voluntary workers have fought.



25. We guess that you make your own schedule
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-25-your-own-schedule.png]
We don't know enough about agriculture to say whether these months would work for cotton, but that's not the point.

26. If it's a choice, you can leave
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-26-whos-gonna-check-me.png]
In real life, there were bounty hunters and even regular law enforcement who would hunt down escaped slaves. Heartbreaking.


27. More anachronisms

Rare to see Family Guy used in a funny context


28. And, of course, sick days
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-28-out-sick.png]
The woman who went viral for "ain't nobody got time for that" later got clean and turned her life around.


29. Hard pass
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-29-no-contract-extension.png]
Hard to see someone signing up for more. Or, you know, any.

30. This Big Brother meme again
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-30-free-ship-hispaniola.png]
Hispaniola is a larger island in the Caribbean.


31. Another slur warning
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-31-cotton-or-fired.png]
Bye!!

32. And the hits keep coming
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-32-hard-pass.png]
Another hard pass.


33. A classic reference.
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-33-kunta-kinte.png]
Kunta Kinte was LeVar Burton's famous character from Roots. He was renamed "Toby" to erase his personhood and origins.


34. A real dilemma
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-34-revolt-prom...uandry.png]
Sadly, by pitting slaves against each other, slave-owners were sometimes able to make real slaves feel similarly conflicted about their loyalties. It's psychological warfare.


35. Oh no!!
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-35-rachel-dolezal.png]
That is Rachel Dolezal. She is not black.

36. If only people had known that they had a choice!
[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-36-kanye-enlightenment.png]

No meme is complete without bringing Kermit, the ultimate meme-inspirer, into things.


37. And this one strikes a more somber note

[Image: kanye-slavery-choice-meme-37-chains.png]
Those chains were real, and they were just one of many factors that white people used to keep black people enslaved and afraid for centuries.
