Kanye West‘s claim this week that slavery was a choice by Black people has led to threats of boycotts, calls for advertisers to drop their sponsorships, and one Detroit radio station to stop playing his music.
West also was widely condemned last week after he once again declared he is a Trump supporter.
Trump-supporting bloggers and social media personalities Diamond and Silk are now getting s slice of condemnation as well, after falsely claiming Kanye West’s First Amendment rights have been violated by the radio station that is refusing to play his music.
“For a Radio Station to stop playing @kanyewest music because of his views is a violation of his First Amendment Rights,” the pair tweeted. “You can’t just silence someone because you don’t like their Free Speech. Thoughts?”
