Kanye West’s art is so complex and deep that it is totally okay for him to use the Confederate flag to sell overpriced T-shirts and if you don’t like it, you just don’t get it. Or something like that.
Yeezus is selling T-shirts emblazoned with the Confederate flag on them at his concerts and people are not happy about it.
(Background: The Confederate flag is a highly controversial symbol of the Confederate states [the group of predominately pro-slavery states that lost the Civil War back in the day] and is widely considered by many — with the exception of Ted Nugent — to be quite racist.)
But Kanye paired the Confederate flag with skulls and other Grim Reaper-type imagery to sell for $50+ to drunken hipsters in between sets at his concerts.
Hip Hop Wired took some photos of the merchandise at the first stop on Kanye’s Yeezus tour in Seattle, Wash. on Saturday.
