We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

"I've been attacked for presenting new ideas"
Kanye West just said 400 years of slavery was a choice
Tuesday brought us two Kanyes.
The first was a man who opened up about his mental health, his family, and his art in a nearly-two hour interview with radio host Charlamagne Tha God.
The second was a Kanye who appeared at the TMZ headquarters where he had this to say:
"When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... For 400 years? That sounds like a choice."
When the predictable furor ensued, Kanye complained:
"Once again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas."
No, Kanye, these aren't new ideas. Been around for a while. Of course, you once had to go to a klan meeting to hear such drivel.
