As we all know, Kanye West is no stranger to争议.
If you recall, the musician turned fashion designer made headlines in 2018 when he vocallysupportedthe controversial former President Donald Trump.
He also faced backlash in 2018 after he said that slavery was "a choice" during an appearance on TMZ. He was confronted by former TMZ correspondent Van Lathan, who said, "We have to deal with the marginalization that has come from the 400 years of slavery thatyousaid was a choice. Frankly, I'm disappointed; I'm appalled."
Kanye shortly after apologized. "I'm sorry for people who felt let down by that moment, and also I appreciate you guys giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the way I was thinking and what I was going through and what led me to that," Kanye said during an interview with107.5 WGCI radio.
Well, the 45-year-old caused another controversy Monday in Paris when he debuted the ninth season of his Yeezy collection and wore a "White Lives Matter" shirt:
The phrase"White Lives Matter" is problematicbecause it was born out of a response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
根据ACLU, the BLM movement, which began in 2013, is a culmination of the work of several organizations — including the Black Youth Project 100, the Dream Defenders, Assata’s Daughters, the St. Louis Action council, Millennial Activists United, and the Organization for Black Struggle, and more Black organizations.
The movement itself has accomplished several things. For example, it led to the creation of fourreportsin 2014 that exposed widespread police corruption in Baltimore, Chicago, Ferguson, and Cleveland.
因此，“白人生命问题”的反应 - 坎耶（Kanye）穿着口号 - 更加有问题。因此，人们感到失望。
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.
看到你们和坎迪斯都穿着那件衬衫伤害了我的灵魂。无论是在他的时装秀的一部分中，与看到一个在政治上具有破坏性和应受谴责的人与Ye站在那里一样，有什么细微差别，这是显得苍白的。
Every three months Kanye SHOWS y’all and TELLS y’all he doesn’t care about the black community and yet and still y’all be right there at Sunday Service buying every GI Joe boot and every piece of raggedy fabric he drops. SAD
