“Well, we gave $900,000 to [Black Lives Matter],” shared Sharon. “And I’d like my money back, please.” However, the 69-year-old also explained why she defended Kanye. “I don’t understand why white lives don’t matter,” declared Osbourne. But the former talk show co-host did admit that she doesn’t “understand it. It’s not my culture,” she added. “Everybody matters, don’t they?”

But Osbourne also offered advice to those who got angry with the 45-year-old fashion designer. And she suggested that they ignore Kanye rather than slam him. For instance, Sharon recommended those against West stop reading his Instagram posts and listening to his music.

“Don’t go to his social media [or] listen to his music,” recommended Osbourne. “Leave the guy alone. Let him do what he does.” But rather than cancel Kanye, Sharon advised those against him to just “leave him alone.”

However, the creator of the Yeezy fashions kept on defending his White Lives Matter shirt. And West seemed to indicate that he feels misunderstood. For instance, in his original post, Kanye hinted that he expected gratitude for proclaiming the BLM movement a scam.

“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam,” he wrote on Instagram. “Now it’s over. You’re welcome,” added the designer. But West continues to receive slams rather than thanks in response. 

And the Twitter account for Black Lives Matter also responded. In a series of tweets, the users behind the account questioned the White Lives Matter shirt. “There’s never an appropriate time to attack Black people,” wrote the BLM Twitter account. “Black Lives Matter means more than words printed on a T-shirt.”

Based on this decision, it is clear that Kanye lacks vision from his vantage point.

The organization also directly addressed Kanye’s controversial shirt. And it tweeted that the Yeezy designer “lacks vision from his vantage point.” As a result of “twisting” the Black Lives Matter phrase, West “disregards our ancestors and the freedom fighters before us,” added the Twitter account.
