Kanye West apologized Wednesday on a Chicago radio station for calling slavery a "choice," and he broke down on air over an old friend.
"I don't know if I properly apologized for how that slave comment made people feel, so I want to take this moment right now to say that I'm sorry for hurting, I'm sorry for the one-two effect of the MAGA hat into the slave comment," West told 107.5 WGCI radio in his hometown.
"And I'm sorry for people who felt let down by that moment, and also I appreciate you guys giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the way I was thinking and what I was going through and what led me to that," he said.
West also addressed a question that left him speechless on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" about why he feels President Donald Trump cares about black people. He later tweeted he wasn't stumped by the question and didn't much appreciate how the show cut awkwardly to a commercial break after his extra-long pause.

(8,146 posts)(forced, unpaid labour) was not that bad, unless the slaver was a gopig type: most slaveowners were nice people....we were taught that poor people were lazy, and the 1st nations were savages (tell that to 35million bison, or hundreds million other animals who lived very well in the americas during the Injun's watch!) gorillas were monsters as were sharks and wolves and ...the point is the majority of people believe what they were taught, and the nazipoohs made sure the text books went easy on the facts.
