Kanye West just announced he’ll be running for president again as a climax to the wild ride that is the past few years since his divorce from Kim Kardashian that’s shown him incessantly trolling her and her new man. The announcement came in an ABC special recently where he’s looking to have another go around after losing in 2020 where he was a part of what he called the “birthday party” and not long had apologized for calling slavery a choice.
Well now Kanye’s ramped up the drama factor by entering the doors of his Yeezy fashion show for his season 9 collection in Paris wearing a White Lives Matter shirt alongside Candace Owens who was donning a matching one as well. A number of models wore a variation of th same design.
For context here, the Anti-Defamation League labeled White Lives Matter as a hate slogan citing members of the KKK wearing it as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement. It’s similar to All Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter, both of which were created for the sake of delegitimizing criminal justice reform issues. Some of you may know me from my past life of trying to teach cultural competence to politicos, particularly Republicans where in the middle of 2020 I determined it was a lost cause speaking to the Right being that we had a President that was harping on division and I watched candidates for office choose to make no comment on the police issues and just say they stood with police as though they somehow were the bigger victims out of all this.
People have said since the death of his mother that Kanye needed help and his progressively worse behavior has been enabled since. I’ll just sum this up saying this is very disappointing.
Kanye west making Black models wear “ white lives matter” shirts is a culmination of his anti blackness and his immersion in white supremacy ideologies and methods. Disgusting pic.twitter.com/yIaVKPYEBB

It seems like we go through these continuous cycles of sympathizing with Kanye every time he makes poor decisions, but this really has stop…like, today. So I’m going to bring this video back since the words of brother @VanLathan have fallen on deaf ears. pic.twitter.com/koo6PSaTGu

Kanye West decision to wear a “White Lives Matter” shirt is disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible. Some of y’all will rush to defend him. You should ask yourselves why… pic.twitter.com/YT4a6c9tKI

So many folks are trying to excuse Kanye wearing a white lives matter t-shirt as just a troll move or marketing. Maybe it is. But it’s a dangerously dumb message to send for someone with his massive platform. I been off dude. But y’all go ahead labeling his foolishness as genius.

Kanye West and Candace Owens have to be the 2 stupidest individuals on earth. The fact that they are using racism directed also to them, to get attention, is just on a whole new level of pitiful. This is not even pathetic. This is embarrassing. pic.twitter.com/jSKpHb7j0j
