West recently made headlines for allegedly discussing anti-Semitic views that have alienated the rapper from the majority of the public. West was spotted wearing a ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt at the Paris Fashion Week. However, this type of speech has been labeled as hate speech by the Anti-Defamation League due to its association with white supremacists, who began using the phrase in retaliation to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Moreover, this was only amplified after West made an appearance on Fox News where he stated that the reasons for wearing were obvious. “The answer to why I wrote ‘White Lives Matter’ on a shirt is because they do. The same people that have stripped us of our identity and labeled us as a color, have told us what it means to be Black.” he said in the interview.
