"Kanye West made a statement at his surprise Yeezy fashion show on Monday, wearing a black sweatshirt with the slogan 'White Lives Matter' written across it."

"Fashion models in the rapper’s show also wore clothing with the message written across it, a response to the Black Lives Matter movement that was founded in 2013 following the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. Also posing with West, 43, was the right-wing commentator Candace Owens, who beamed while wearing a complementary version of the 'White Lives Matter' shirt, and Kanye's daughter North West, nine, was even roped into the event."

The Daily Mail reports.

I mean, BLM scammed maybe 5 million-dollar homes. And they only represent 13% of the population.; 10/3/22, 3:47 PM
YoungHegelian said...: How can anyone possibly defend the BLM movement now? It has been exposed as yet one more massive grift by would-be "black radicals". It's so bad that even the state of California is investigating it for fraud. BLM = Buy Large Mansions.

I know Kanye West is being provocative here. I don't know if this hurts or helps, but the mythos of BLM as a force for change in American culture has to be forcefully put to rest.; 10/3/22, 3:52 PM

I'm guessing that might be what West is saying.; 10/3/22, 4:46 PM

cubanbob said...: From a business point of view I don't know what he is trying to do. I don't see any commercial upside to this. But he is a billionaire and I am not. I'm not sure this also helps with his custody issues with his ex-wife.; 10/3/22, 5:15 PM

Drago said...: New Soviet Democratical Overseer Howard continues to "whitesplain" things to those blacks that just wont do what Whitey Libs lime himself insist they do.

Hey Foghorn Leghorn Howard, why dont you just leave those independent blacks alone. They dont need the party of slavery and segregation and Jim Crow to lecture them.; 10/3/22, 8:14 PM
Drago said...: The "good news" for our New Soviet Democraticals?

Biden's Earpiece is practically Puerto Rican! And Jewish!

And that's just over the last 2 weeks!

In another week the addled dementia-ridden drugged up zombie will be claiming West Side Story was stolen from his autobiography and he showered with Maria when she was 10.

You know, like how he showered with his own daughter.; 10/3/22, 8:18 PM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Candace Owens is only described as "right wing " because the left-wing fascists cannot abide a black women with a brain.

William said...: My knowledge and understanding of Kanye West is less than Olivia Wilde's knowledge and understanding of Jordan Peterson. I'll stay out of it. Maybe he knows something, maybe he's a flake. I'm not qualified to say, but he definitely has his very own drummer..... Has anyone here ever listened to his music? I've heard a few songs. Not for me, but it connects with a lot of people.; 10/3/22, 9:58 PM
Mark said...: Yancey, I didn't realize that Black Lives Matter (and it's inverse) had no political connotations.; 10/3/22, 10:05 PM
Bunkypotatohead said...: He claimed he was running for president in 2020. Maybe he plans to try again and thinks the t shirt might get him some white votes.; 10/3/22, 11:09 PM

Andrew said...: @William,
"Has anyone here ever listened to his music? I've heard a few songs. Not for me, but it connects with a lot of people."

I've listened to some of his gospel/worship music, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Lurker21 said...: Kanye - 71,000 votes in 2020. More than the Constitution, American Solidarity, Prohibition, and Socialist Workers got. A bit fewer than the Reform/Alliance/American Delta and Party for Socialism and Liberation candidates.

If idiots and tyrants had forced ranked choice voting on us, he might have been my #2. Or at least my number 3 or 4. With RCV he might actually have won?; 10/4/22, 8:11 AM

There is hardly the child who wants be an activist, let alone be seen with mom and dad in an activist role.
