Is he artistic? Undoubtedly, and just about controversial, as the musician and fashion designer, Ye (formerly Kanye West), continues to cause uproar amidst finding White Lives Matter t-shirts funny.
Is "White Lives Matter" The Obvious?
It's unequivocally obvious, and true, that "White Lives Matter" (WLM). Believing the latter, that white people's lives don't matter, at all, is undermining and discriminatory - in our most humble opinion, using that very context. But what has caused the obvious (of WLM) to be deemed hate speech? Is it racists or Ye (AKA Kanye West)?
Even with 24 Grammy's under his belt, Ye (who was formerly known as Kanye Omari West), 45, hasn't slowed down in attracting attention to himself for his vision of... whatever Ye thinks is best at time including, the wearing of "WHITE LIVES MATTER" text, very bold, on t-shirts - happily flaunting an inverted equivalent to Candace Owens, 33, during Paris Fashion Week.
Ye's Kids Are White'ish, Do White Lives Matter Then?
During a last minute (surprise) show witnessed by 100 guests including "a big part of Ye's friends", the "Heartless" artist thought it "funny" to wear a long-sleeve t-shirt, in black-and-white, with sans-serif text saying: WHITE LIVES MATTER. Whilst stressing the obvious, the statement has insensitive attributions affecting POC and Jews.
In response to the Black Lives Matter movement being formed, white supremacist groups began using the phrase adjudged "hate speech" by The Anti-Defamation League - an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the US. Ye's idea of "funny" and the "obvious thing to do", was stressed in an interview with Fox New's, Tucker Carlson, 53.
Adding further salt to injury, Ye was temporarily disabled from social media platforms including Instagram and Twitter after violating their community guidelines with hate speech. After his media accounts were locked, news surfaced regarding clips from a scrapped series of a YouTube talk show, The Show: Uninterrupted, entailing a slew of anti-semetic tropes and "bizarre" claims.
In the midst of all of this, we came across a tweet that intrigued us enough to ask a question. Are Ye's children half-white, and does it mean that it's ok for him to endorse White Lives Matter?
"Do black people know that Kanye's kids are white and black," a user said who infuriated another user prompting a counter-response implying: Armenians aren't white.
At Least Ye Impressed His Father, Right?
Clearly unapologetic about his viewpoints, the Yeezy genius took to Instagram to share alleged communications with his father, a former Black Panther and was one of the first black photo-journalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Ray West, 73.
In a post on Instagram, Ye shared a screenshot of an apparent chat with his dad, captioned: "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 45 YEARS I MADE MY SUPER EDUCATED FORMER BLACK PANTHER FATHER PROUD And by the way dad There's an NPC trying to pick on me What should I do".
"I thought that was so funny... What did you like about it," a message bubble read. Followed by a response saying: "That a Black Man was declaring the obvious".

Just so you know, Ye is African-American. The mother of his children, Kim Kardashian, 41, is half-Armenian (from her deceased father, Robert Kardashian, a third-generation Armenian-American); and Dutch, English, Irish, German and Scottish, as a consequence of Kris Jenner, 66, her mother.
