But let's say this.

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

Undoubtedly, Jewish people have a lot of movies about...

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

that pain.

And Black people have a lot of movies about the pain of slavery, right?

It's almost impossible to find a movie about Mansa Munsa.

When you go to the African History Museum in Washington, D.C., it doesn't start with the idea of Africans being kings.

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

It starts with the idea of Africans being slaves.

But here's another interesting point about this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

This was said to me one time and it stuck with me as a family member of mine.

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

With Africans, how many times you've heard like a rapper, you know, talk about we were kings.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

That's incorrect if we're Jews.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

If we're Jew, and since we are, we weren't the kings.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

We were the slaves that Moses freed.

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

Africans have always said, we've heard, you've listened to rap music and hear Black people say, we kings, we blood of the pharaohs.

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

And if we are Jew, then we weren't.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

We were the people that Moses freed.

#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

And when we talk about, have you heard black people talk about 400 years of slavery?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

All right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

That is, and we're having this history lesson, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#332 โ€“ Kanye โ€˜Yeโ€™ West Interview

Absolutely.
