Mallory said told Jasmine, “You’re basically weaponizing black people and basically saying, I’ll wear this shirt, which first of all let’s be clear, I believe now people have talked to him and helped him to develop some sort of talking points that resonate more with people, but if you remember when they first asked him about the t-shirt he said ‘I thought it was funny.’ That’s what he said, and then he has developed to the point of if you don’t want me to wear it then the whole culture should get behind me, and that has been his behavior over and over again, when his deals go bad, he wants everybody to fight for him…What he’s doing right now, mixing it with his relationships, with people who support white supremacists is very dangerous, because it’s the same talking points that white supremacists have, he’s using the same talking points.”
She added, “I think that Kanye is upset because he lost his woman. He’s trying to weaponize other communities to help him fight his personal battle. In one of the clips from the recent interview he did on Drink Champs he said ‘If y’all don’t want me to wear white lives matter t-shirt, then the culture should get behind me, when they take my child, the culture should get behind me.’ So now you’re saying that we should be involved in your custody issues, your family business. How many black men has Kanye helped that can’t see their children. What is he involved in?”
