Kanye West dares to defy Black Lives Matter

The Black Lives Matter organizations have gone full bore after Kanye West. His grievous offense?

Daring to wear a “White Lives Matter” shirt. Why the fury? Because BLM fully understands West’s deep purchase in the culture, a realm where it has become a major player itself and where it will not accept challenges. Political commentator Candace Owens appeared alongside West, also wearing a shirt saying “White Lives Matter.” The setting was the Paris Fashion Week, where West, now named Ye, staged a fashion show. Interestingly, Owens was less of a lightning rod. The original flagship group, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, ignored her, while the rival BLM Grassroots criticized both and invited them to attend a struggle session.
