Kanye said that liberals try to control black people through the concept of racism, asserting, “You think racism can control me?”

A reporter tried to follow up with another question, but Kanye shut her down and said he doesn’t speak in “sound bites.”

“You had one question and then go into another question,” he said. “I answered your question.”

“I don’t answer questions in simple sound bites,” he said. “You are tasting a fine wine; it has multiple notes to it. You better play 4D chess with me.”
