Someone was listening a little too hard to Kanye’s “New Slaves.” A Pennsylvania newspaper had to apologize on behalf of their editorial cartoon, which compared modern-day air travel to the “Middle Passage” aka slave ships. The trans-Atlantic leg of the slave trade continues to be a very touchy topic that involves brutal experiences of most of our ancestors. The slave trade involved transporting captive Africans to the Americas to be sold into bondage… YEA, nothing to make light of.
