Kanye West took his “Sunday Service” rolling gospel revival to Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday to preach to the unwashed masses ahead of the presidential election in 2020.
“Abraham Lincoln was the wig party, that’s the Republican party that freed the slaves,” he told the crowd of about 9,000 worshipers.
“People want to call me a coon because I chose my right – in America, we got the right, right? We got our own right to our opinions, right?
“Somebody trying to tell me, because of my color, who I’m supposed to pick as the president. You Black so you can’t like Trump,” Kanye said, as the crowd booed.
Kanye continued, “I ain’t never made a decision only based off my color! That’s a form of slavery – mental slavery!”
West also slammed social media users, adding, “Do not read comments on the Internet. These people don’t know you like that. Social media is designed to make you think slower… They want to slow you down and control you.”
According to WENN.com, the controversial rap star also touched on American prison reform, adding, “There’s one in three African-Americans in jail in this country.”
But there was no mention of his long-awaited and oft-delayed Jesus Is King album, which was expected to drop on September 27.
