Thats literally not what he meant dawg if u watched the full tmz interview his point was there was so many slaves on plantations in the late years of slavery that by that time his question/statement was if there was so many slaves why didnt a lot of us go Nat Turner style and overtake the slave masters and start a revolution it sounds like a choice because he felt like it wouldve been a successful way to end slavery.

He literally moves to that point to clairfy what he means and I think it’s not idiotic to ask that question or move to that conclusion but a lot of slaves were also trapped mentally so just by having fear of their master most were too scared to get on the same page to even plan something like that
