Music artist Ye, better known as Kanye West, appeared in a shirt emblazoned with the slogan “White Lives Matter” during a speech at the YZY SZN 9 event in Paris, France on Monday.
The shirt immediately induced outrage among left-wing activists and the racially obsessed on social media.

The design on the front of the shirt is not clearly visible, and while it is unclear what the full message of the new merchandise will entail, Black Lives Matter agitators were quick to launch racist attacks against Ye. Many claimed that that was somehow morally wrong for Ye as a black man to believe that white lives do indeed matter.
“White lives matter” quickly became a trending topic on Twitter following the release of the photos.

I try to wish the best for Kanye but I’m so tired of this try-hard contrarian stance him (and other coons alike) be trying to make.

Watching all the people getting upset at that charlatan, Kanye, for wearing a 'White Lives Matter' shirt [as if they dont], and we're supposed to NOT act like that's high-key racist behavior is peak Twitter.
