Diddy Takes on Kanye’s White Lives Matter Shirt: “Don’t Wear the Shirt, Don’t Buy the Shirt, It’s Not a Joke”

Sean Combs aka P Diddy, to me, does not look well. He looks, well, puffy. He’s also been saying strange things about his former recording artists.

But right now Combs has taken to Instagram to criticize Kanye West over his White Lives Matter t shirt. Combs joins dozens of other celebrities, black and white, in denouncing Kanye’s latest offensive public move.

Watch this video. Combs says: “Don’t wear the shirt, don’t but the shirt, it’s not a joke.” He says all lives matter, but Black lives matter because — “all they [white people] have planned for us is poverty, incarceration, and death.”

If you hear that and you’re white, you say, Oh that’s ridiculous. But is it? I’m not so sure.
