Actor Chris Evans slammed Kanye West on Twitter Sunday after the rapper called for the abolition of the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery in the 1860s
Actor Chris Evans slammed Kanye West for his 'terrifying' calls to abolish the constitutional amendment that ended slavery in a blistering tweet replying to the rapper's bizarre musings.
West left fans bewildered on Sunday after he posted a photo of himself wearing a Make America Great Again on a private jet and called for the removal of the 13th Amendment in the caption.
'This represents good and American becoming whole again,' the 41-year-old wrote. 'We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.'
Evans responded with a vitriolic tweet about an hour later, writing: 'There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue.
'The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying.'

Evans' blistering reply has been retweeted more than 50,000 times in a matter of hours

Evans' reply has garnered more than 200,000 likes as of Sunday evening.
Among the more than 50,000 users who've retweeted it are Busy Phillips, Josh Gad and Willie Garson.
The tweet's popularity is especially impressive given that the 47-year-old Captain America lead is not typically a very active Twitter user.
Kanye later attempted to explain his remarks in two other tweets, writing: 'the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals.'
In the second post he clarified: 'not abolish but. let’s amend the 13th amendment We apply everyone’s opinions to our platform.'
The string of tweets sparked confusion among fans who struggled to comprehend what exactly West is trying to say.
The main section of the amendment he referenced reads: 'Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.'

West's eccentric comments came hot on the heels of his performance on Saturday Night Live.
After his final song, West shocked the audience as he began talking about his support for Trump and claimed he was asked by the show not to wear his MAGA hat.
'You see they laughing at me. You heard 'em, they scream at me, they bully me. They bullied me backstage,' said West, who also alluded to running for president in 2020.
'They said, "Don't go out there with that hat on". They bullied me backstage. They bullied me.
'I wanna cry right now. Black man in America, you're supposed to keep what you feel inside right now,' West sang as he began his rant.
'And the liberals bully you and tell you what you can and cannot wear. And they look at me and say, "It's not fair. How the hell did you get here?"'.

Cast members and guests standing behind West on the SNL stage could be seen cringing during the artist's diatribe as the audience booed
'So many times I talk to a white person about this and they say, "How could you like Trump? He's racist.",' he continued.
'Well, if I was concerned about racism I would've moved out of America a long time ago. We don't make our decisions off of racism.'
'If someone inspires me and I connect with them, I don't have to believe in all their policies...We need to have a dialogue not a diatribe, because if you want something to change, it's not going to change by saying, "F**k that person". Try love. Try love.'
The entire cast was on stage, as were West's musical guests 070 Shake, Kid Cudi, and Ty Dolla $ign, as the crowd booed his speech.
However, Trump himself appeared to appreciate Kanye's words during the show that took aim at the president's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
'Like many, I don't watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm,' Trump tweeted on Sunday.
'It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told "no") was great. He's leading the charge!'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
