Ahmaud Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-James, is the latest to speak out against Kanye “Ye” West‘s controversial Yzy Szn 9 runway show.
In a statement to Rolling Stone, 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.”

The man convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery was sentenced to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime on Monday, Aug. 8, The Associated Press reports.
Travis McMichael, as well as his father Gregory McMichael, and their neighbor, William Bryan, were all convicted on multiple federal hate crime charges back in February. All three men were found guilty of depriving the 25-year-old Arbery of his right to use a public street because of the color of his skin and attempted kidnapping. The McMichaels were each found guilty of brandishing or...

The defense lawyer for a man accused of filming the murder of Ahmaud Arbery — a Black man who was jogging through a Georgia neighborhood when two residents shot and killed him in 2020 — said that he didn’t want “any more black pastors” in the courtroom during trial.
Reverend Al Sharpton sat with Arbery’s family on Wednesday to observe the court proceedings. Gregory and Travis McMichael, a father and son, stand accused of murder and aggravated assault. Also on trial is William “Roddie” Bryan, who filmed the incident. Bryan is represented by Kevin Gough,...

Former President Barack Obama delivered blistering criticism Saturday of President Donald Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, during a virtual commencement speech to graduates of historically black colleges and universities.
Obama did not mention Trump by name, but it was obvious he was referring to the Trump administration.
“More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing,” Obama told the Class of 2020. “A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge.”

Emmett Till was lynched 65 years ago, but it has been only three since Carolyn Bryant Donham admitted that her lie got him killed. She copped to what, I’d wager, most black Americans had already figured when she gave a rare interview to Duke University professor Timothy B. Tyson, who was writing the latest volume about the 1955 lynching of the Chicago boy in Money, Mississippi. She had been 21 on the day that she claimed young Emmett committed the capital offense of making verbal and physical advances on her; he was...
