Kanye West Declares "Black Lives Matter Was A Scam" And Wears A 'White Lives Matter' Shirt At A Yeezy Fashion Show

Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West has never hesitated to speak his mind, even if it meant he was heavily criticized for his political affiliations. He has proudly associated with former President Donald Trump and conservative political pundit Candace Owens, and now he's taking a bold stand against Black Lives Matter.

While it may attempt to market itself as a non-profit organization that does charity work for various black communities around the country, Black Lives Matter is nothing more than a company (with no 501c3 status) that gets rich by exploiting the common narrative of suffering and oppression amongst minority communities. The organization raised millions and millions of dollars during the George Floyd riots, but not a single one of those dollars was funneled back into black neighborhoods to help minorities in need. It was later discovered that Black Lives Matter secretly used $6 million of its donations to buy a 6,500-square-foot mansion so the leaders could throw extravagant parties and film swanky YouTube content. Kanye West highlighted how fraudulent the popular movement is, and he did it with a t-shirt that had an explosive message on it.
