The Black Lives Matter motion is pursuing Kanye West for the questionable “White Lives Matter” t-shirt he used to his YZY Show, stating it’s absolutely nothing however a stunt to injure folks defending justice.
In a statement to TMZ, BLM states … “While some may see Kanye and Candace’s stunt as a distraction, we recognize that it harms thousands of families fighting for justice for their loved ones killed by state-sanctioned violence.”
BLM’s likewise ripping Candace Owens — who also wore the shirt — for what they consider as dispersing “toxic confusion” … declaring the t-shirts, and phrasing, can be “used to legitimize violent assaults on Black people.”
Kanye must understand much better, BLM states, informing us … “Kanye knows very well that ‘white lives’ have never been targeted for oppression. Black folks, in contrast, are at the bottom of virtually every economic, social, and political measure because of centuries of individual and institutional racism.”
For his part, Kanye states he used the “White Lives Matter” t-shirt at his style program due to the fact that he thinks BLM “was a scam.”
Naturally, BLM disagrees … they state the motion will benefit everybody in the long run due to the fact that “when Black people get free, everybody gets free.”
