Romans did that all the time.

I really wish you didn't make this topic about the Holocaust, because being unsure of the past is an interesting subject but if you make it about the holocaust the thread will be a shitshow

"Trapped in a theater like Hitler"... as you may already know, in real life, Hitler was never actually trapped in a theater. He died in a bunker. Kanye is referencing the movie "Inglorious Bastards". Kanye isn't referencing real life, he's referencing the media's version of real life.

Another line goes like "300 like the Romans..." Now, he's referencing another movie loosely based on real life, "300". In real life, the forces of the 300 didn't belong to the Romans, it belonged to Greece. He's deliberately mistaking reality for his own version of it.

Kanye deliberately referenced two historical events, that had famous movies based on them, and referenced the media's version of these real events, as opposed to what actually happened. By doing so, Kanye is making an extended metaphor on how real life can be altered by the media, a concept which correlates to his own life (how the media perceives him as an ****, etc).

By doing so, Kanye is making his own version of REALITY with this song. These themes may be extended within the album. Since he calls himself a God in "I Am God", the album might be about his own shaping of reality. His version of the world, since he is a god. During "Black Skinhead", since he is God, he can alter reality and perceive it the way he wants to.

All the movie references actually have a bigger meaning. He's talking about how the media (ie movies) can alter the perception of things. The King Kong line is a reference to how the media perceives his relationship with Kim. They portray him as the giant ape, trying to kidnap the white woman. In addition:

You had to go with the holocaust denial thing, didn't you? This thread is going to end up with 300 posts and probably 270 of them are going to be /pol/ tier shitposting.

To answer your question, though, yes. When you start taking stock of the sort of primary sources used for some things we take as fact you realize what shaky ground a lot of our history is based on. It's certainly possible there are some events that historical accounts skewed / wholesale made up that we didn't pick up on, and history is constantly politicized with views falling in and out of favor.

>implying there isn't a BIG chance all his "knowledge" of said things came solely from those movies
