And maybe it didn't make sense to them until they were put in a culture where the discrepancy between being a slave and not being a slave was, like, really fucking obvious.

I don't know, but maybe the mentality of slaves came from, like, a culture that kidnapped and imprisoned their own people and sold them as slaves and shit. So even when they were brought to a new land, they thought of themselves as slaves because that was their first culture and it just was how shit was.

I mean, that's fucked up and shit, but I think that maybe that's kinda Kanye's point: they were already, like, imprisoned in their minds, and they couldn't comprehend how things could be different, no matter where they ended up.

Because when you're not treated as human, it can be hard to understand what being human is. And maybe it didn't make sense to them until they were put in a culture where the discrepancy between being a slave and not being a slave was, like, really fucking obvious.

And then maybe the biggest turning point was the slave-owners teaching the slaves Christianity and shit. Because, even if you're being told you're a slave, you're also being told that you have a soul, and are worth redemption.

And if you're worth redemption, maybe you really are worth being free. So teaching the slaves about Jesus and shit maybe let the cat out of the bag. But then they stopped reading about Jesus and the Bible and shit, and the cats went back into the bag. Because I have a cat that likes getting into bags, even though there isn't rally anything in there for him to do. But I don't keep him trapped in the bag, he can come out whenever he wants, and that's cool.

I figure I'm probably wrong about this, because it kinda makes sense to me, which is usually when someone smarter than me says I'm, like, wrong and shit.

I mean, straight men in their seventies don’t dress like a pirate unless they are actually a pirate, okay?

I always thought the song was, like, Mick’s way of letting Keith know gently that, no, Mick was not going to fuck him and shit. Because if you can’t tell that Keith Richards is gay then you just don’t know how to look. I mean, straight men in their seventies don’t dress like a pirate unless they are actually a pirate, okay? So when Mick sings “I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection” The ‘her’ is Keith, and Keith and Mick are at, like, some party or shit, and Keith’s looking for his drug dealer, because he’s not going to get to fuck Mick and now he needs some more drugs. Pretty obvious. Then Mick sings “But I went down to the demonstration To get your fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse" And the ‘demonstration’ is a metaphor for the recording studio, where Keith is abusive of Mick because Mick isn’t rock-and-roll e...

I mean, most of the time the cattle prods are like a metaphor and shit, but sometimes you need a real cattle prod to make your shit obvious.

"our favorite characters are unrelentingly tortured — electrocuted with cattle prods, kicked, threatened with dogs, chained to a gas stove and burned, left alive on a gallows covered with urine." This does kinda sound like harsh shit, but it's, like, a corollary of Internet Rule 34: if it's on video and involves a chick, some dude somewhere will masturbate to it. It's just how media works, if it can't get chicks outraged and dudes masturbating then it isn't doing the job. But "The Handmaid’s Tale" is, like, for chicks to masturbate their feminist clit. Because a lot of chicks feel the most represented in art when they are a victim, like, getting electrocuted with cattle prods. I mean, most of the time the cattle prods are like a metaphor and shit, but sometimes you need a real cattle prod to make your shit obvious. It's kinda like how chicks get Oscars for portraying hookers: because all chicks are hookers and being electrocuted by catt...

Because if you look at rock stars from back in the day, they all pretty much look like twinks, too.

So, like, I did a little research, because some of the gay dudes I know say all twinks are bottoms. And the first Google article has some twinks who say, no, that's a misconception and shit. But then Queerty actually did a survey of gay dudes, and they said, yeah, most twinks are bottoms. But I don't think all twinks are gay and shit. Because if you look at rock stars from back in the day, they all pretty much look like twinks, too. I mean, Mick Jagger: when he was young, he was pretty much a twink, and he wasn't, like, gay ALL the time. And David Bowie was a twink, and HE wasn't gay all the time. There is even that rumor that Jagger and Bowie fucked each other once, but I don't remember if it was ever said who was the bottom. I bet it was Bowie, but that's just a guess, really, maybe he and Jagger both took turns being bottoms and shit. Now, Freddie Mercury: he was pretty much gay all the time, but I don't think he was a twink, I don't think most ...
