Kanye West's 'White Lives Matter' shirts given out to homeless people in Skid Row
"A known associate of Kanye West posted a video of a group apparently handing out the artist's infamous "White Lives Matter" shirts to people living on Skid Row.
In the video someone could be heard shouting, "courtesy of Kanye West."
"They dropped off a big box here and told everybody to come here to pick them up," said resident Stephanie Arnold-Williams. "I was like this is not a good spot. I don't think you should bring them here."
West, now known as Ye, debuted the shirts at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month. The pieces of clothing feature Pope John Paul on the front and the controversial phrase on the back.
The Anti-Defamation League has called the phrase "White Lives Matter" hate speech. Many in Skid Row are confused about why anyone would do this."
