Rapper, record producer and businessman Kanye West caused a major stir when he and conservative commentator Candace Owens showed up at a Paris fashion show wearing shirts emblazoned with the slogan “White Lives Matter,” but he upped the outrage by besmirching one of the left’s most sacred of all cows, the Black Lives Matter movement.
The 45-year-old celebrity who goes by the moniker of “Ye” smacked the hornet’s nest on Instagram with his opinion that BLM has been one giant grift, an idea that there is ample evidence to now support with the scandalous financial dealings of the organization that became sanctified during the summer of race riots following the death of career criminal and drug addict George Floyd.
“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now its over. You’re welcome,” wrote “Ye” in a since-deleted social media post that infuriated “woke” leftists still stewing over the “White Lives Matter” shirt.

Founded in 2013 following the shooting of black Florida teen Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, the organization specialized in demonizing law enforcement and whipping up racial resentment during the Obama years such as the 2014 incident where hulking teen Michael Brown, aka the “Gentle Giant”, was shot while trying to wrestle a gun away from a Ferguson, Missouri police officer, setting off weeks of unrest.
But it wasn’t until the 2020 “summer of love” after Floyd met his unfortunate demise at the hands of Minneapolis police while he was being arrested that the movement was mainstreamed, as violent riots swept the nation and the Marxist-inspired BLM agenda was embraced by politicians, the media, the entertainment industry, professional sports leagues and all of Corporate America that it hit it big, cashing in on anti-police sentiment and festering animosity toward white people.
However, the shine eventually waned on the BLM halo with a series of scandals involving top figures, including co-founder Patrisse Cullors and murky dealings such as a $6 million California mansion, which only served to validate West’s opinion that it was a scam.

West’s blasphemy struck a nerve with some who angrily lashed out.
Kanye has been a very vocal white supremacist for years. A lot of Black men are vocal supporters of white supremacist ideals and rhetoric. Have ya been on Tik Tok? https://t.co/UF1nyuPzuR

“Ye” (shit formerly known as Kanye West) said, “Black Lives Matter was a scam. And now it’s over.”
Just b/c he is worthless and his career is over, he really shouldn’t project that towards his entire race.
Oh, and Ye is a delusional, arrogant Uncle T.

Somebody better tell Kanye he’s black

But while his remarks had some howling angrily, others were completely down with his keen observation.
Black Lives Matter was born out of a few scam artists wanting to line their own pockets and purchase expensive homes in predominantly white neighborhoods.

Black Lives Matter was a front for racism on a ground level
cultural Marxism on a political level
And a scam at the organisations level

The black lives matter organization was a scam. The organizers got rich, media personalities stopped taking the knees and the black community are still were they left off with no improvements so I stand with Kanye west on this.

The foundation became the message. We were exploited by our own people. This group actually benefited whenever anything bad happened to someone black and did not give that back to the community. It’s expected when others do it to us, it’s even more evil when it’s our own.

West is no stranger to controversy, often drawing the ire of the “woke” community for his off-the-cuff remarks and his relationship with former President Donald J. Trump.
Fox News Digital sought comment from both the Black Lives Matter organization and the Black Lives Matter Grassroots Organization, but reportedly, neither immediately responded.
