In an interview with Los Angeles radio station 97.1 AMP, he explained that since he has been involved with Kim Kardashian, he no longer believes that slavery in the south was as widespread as history tells us. West also said he is convinced that it happened in only a few isolated incidents, but definitely not on a large scale. He concluded by stating that all African-Americans should be grateful that slavery was finally abolished by Thomas Jefferson in 1802.
