What Is So Couture about White Lives Matter T-Shirt, Ask Kanye West

Paris Fashion Week why do you even allow Ye to have a platform for his hate?

Twitter

Who needs white supremacists if you have these two ‘parrot’ dangerous hate speech such as,

White Lives Matter

While fashion is an expression, it is also a statement. And when Ye or Kanye West struts a shirt with these words on the catwalk, is it still fashion?

While writing this, I tried to understand Kanye or Ye. I know that he has mental health issues and among other things, he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

As for Candace Owens, you tell me?

And I came across this article by Julie A. Fast for Psychology Today, and you can read it too, to better understand Ye.

Julie also has bipolar disorder and she knows the highs and lows. The manic episodes and the sadness that comes after.

It is physiological and not psychological and all people with bipolar disorder have the same, episodic mood swings. There are three main mood swings in bipolar disorder: depression, mania, and a mixed episode called dysphoric mania in which a person is depressed and manic at the same time. The majority of people with bipolar disorder also experience anxiety and many become psychotic during strong episodes. — Excerpt, Is Kanye West Just a Grandiose, Attention-Seeking Rapper?

Kim Kardashian in an Instagram story comes in support of Kanye,

We as a society talk about giving grace to the issue of mental health as a whole, however we should also give it to the individuals who are living with it in times when they need it the most. I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this.

Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye’s well-being and for your understanding.

With love and gratitude, Kim Kardashian West

Before I can hit publish, Kanye West has already moved into another controversy with Khloe Kardashian.

It is hard to sympathize with the Kardashians, as one can’t tell when they are being celebrities or when they are being real people.

It is tough to be a Kardashian, with all the glitter and fame comes the heavy price of losing your privacy.

Deplatform Kanye West

Free speech is what Elon Musk said he champions as he finally makes good his offer to buy Twitter.

But look at how Twitter reacts to Kanye West every time he does something bizarre.

Racists are empowered by his words and deeds.

All lives matter.

Twitter

Black Lives Matter (abbreviated BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by black people. When its supporters come together, they do so primarily to protest incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people. It started following the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Pamela Turner and Rekia Boyd, among others. — Source

“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam,” Kanye West

White Lives Matter is nothing but a way for white supremacists to hijack the conversation BLM wants for America.

Racial inequality and police brutality often result in violence and even death.

Final words

Kanye West or Ye is complex. Most of the time we forget that he struggles with mental illness. He needs help, and one can only imagine the hell Kim Kardashian went through while she was living with him.

Even today, Kanye can’t keep his mouth shut when it comes to Kim, he bullies her to no end and even the people around her. Pete Davidson had to go through trauma therapy after he and Kim ended their relationship.

So, how can society help Kanye West? It can start with people who have the power to deplatform Ye.

But people make money from Kanye West — from his music to his fashion line and social media presence.

Can we pause for a minute and ask, could it be when Kanye West is crying in public he is crying for help?
