Ahmaud Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-James, is the latest to speak out against, Cooper-James expressed her “extreme disappointment” for West’s “White Lives Matter” stunt.
“As a result of his display ‘White Lives Matter’ started trending in the U.S., which would directly support and legitimize extremist behavior, [much] like the behaviour that took the life of her son,” Cooper-James said per her attorney, Lee Merritt. “That is the thing that Wanda and families like hers continue to fight against.”
“This mockery of the Black Lives Matter movement and his now denunciation of the movement as some sort of hoax flies directly in the face [of what he’s said,]” the statement added. “It’s confusing for her, it’s confusing for the families to receive his support privately, but publicly to set us all back.”for his Oct. 3 presentation, where the rapper wore a T-shirt with the phrase “White Lives Matter” as he addressed attendees at the YZY show in Paris.
