Alabama Klan Leader Plans To Order 10,000 Kanye West ‘White Lives Matter’ T-Shirts For Rally

Kanye West Wears 'White Lives Matter' Shirt at His Yeezy Fashion Show

The former leader of the Klu Klux Klan has posted on social media about his plans to make a massive order of rapper Kanye Wests new clothing line. He claims that the White Lives Matter T-Shirts are a gift from GOD and that Kanye is the messenger.

In his post on social media, he wants to mobilize the klan across America to hold rallies in each state wearing the new uniform. In his post he stated “This will be our new uniform!”

Kanye West is on another social media warfare. After wearing a black t-shirt with ‘White Lives Matter’ emblazoned on the back at a YZY fashion show, the Donda 2 rapper-producer sent a message to disappointed critics on his Instagram Story on Tuesday morning (October 4).

“EVERYONE KNOWS BLACK LIVES MATTER WAS A SCAM,” the 45-year-old wrote. “NOW IT’S OVER. YOU’RE WELCOME.”

In support of Ye’s message was conservative influencer and author Candace Owens, who matched the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

Kanye West has been the focus of an intense backlash this week after wearing a controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt, part of his Paris Fashion Week Yeezy season nine presentation.

From celebrities like Jayden Smith to Vogue stylist and fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson to commentators like Marc Lamont Hill, the outpouring of outrage about West’s irreverent stunt from the Black establishment has been endless.

In a post on Instagram, West responded to his zealous critics in an Instagram story, writing, “The Black Lives Matter movement was a scam” and ” Now It’s over, you’re welcome.”

In subsequent posts, he doubled down on his choice to feature the shirts and flippantly disregarding the wave of backlash. He captioned another post featuring one of the shirts with the words, “THEY DO.”

Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” stunt might very well be a soulless media stunt intended to drum up attention for his fashion line and incite controversy. But the backlash toward his stunt points to a larger hypocrisy within the Black media establishment that came for him.

Because the truth is, when it comes to Black Lives Matter, Kanye is right. And Black celebrity outrage should be directed at the Black Lives Matter organization itself instead of Kanye.

For years, there has been an outcry from the Black Lives Matter constituency itself about the organization’s commodification of and capitalization on the spectacle of Black injustice in America.

Most notably, Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir Rice, and Lisa Simpson, the mother of Richard Rishner, released a joint statement in 2021 admonishing BLM for profiting from the spectacle of police brutality and demonstrating a lack of transparency regarding fund distribution across BLM chapters, organizers and communities.

“Tamika D. Mallory, Shaun King, Benjamin Crump, Lee Merritt, Patrisse Cullors, Melina Abdullah and the Black Lives Matter Global Network need to step down, stand back, and stop monopolizing and capitalizing off our fight for justice and human rights,” the statement said.

“We never hired them to be the representatives in the fight for justice for our dead loved ones murdered by the police. The ‘activists’ have events in our cities and have not given us anything substantial for using our loved ones’ images and names on their flyers.”
