Kanye West Calls For Repeal Of Amendment That Abolished Slavery

Kanye West on Sunday called for abolishing the constitutional amendment that outlawed slavery, prompting some celebrities to suggest the rapper had been emancipated from his senses.

Following his pro-Donald Trump speech on “Saturday Night Live,” a MAGA-hat-wearing West tweeted a convoluted message that included a plea against the outsourcing of jobs and, curiously, a call to “abolish” the 13th Amendment. That’s the one that outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude.

...tee shirts, sweat shirts, hoodies, denim, bandanas etc, and one of my clients is mass producing two different Kanye designs on custom made sweat shirts.

One of the designs features this profoundly deep Kanye thought: "Do By Not Doing."

So, Ye's brain seems to be working in reverse - therefore, by repealing the 13th Amendment, everyone will be FREE!!

Now he makes sense, no?
