It was rumored weeks ago during the VMAs that Kim Kardashian and her sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner were texting during the moment of silence held for Mike Brown, but now Kim is getting called out on social media because she actually tweeted pictures of herself not too long after it was revealed that Mike Brown’s murderer will not be indicted.

International Business Times writes:

After news of the verdict broke, Kardashian took to social media to show off her outfit of the night and promote her latest fragrance called Fleur Fatale.

Her profile-raising message angered social media users, who accused her of sidestepping real issues. Members of the African American community also insisted that it was her duty as a mother of a mixed-race girl to speak out on issues of racism.

Were people right to call Kim out or was the anger an overreaction?

  1. Why even be angry? Kim has made an entire career from using black people and throwing them under a bus when they’re no longer useful. She does not and never will care about black people. So I’m not sure why people are even upset.

  2. Honestly, I wish that black folks would stop wasting their time with this narcissistic, blow up doll. At the end of the day, because she f-cks black men doesn’t mean she respects them, or gives a sh-t about us. North is going to be raised as her caramel-colored WHITE baby, and that is the end of any references to that child’s color.

  3. Kim just showed the whole world her vag and a-s again for free, so no I don’t want her speaking about Ferguson. It would only cheapen the seriousness of the situation.

  4. I’m assuming the people mad she doesn’t give a damn are the ones who don’t know about her and Khloe saying they would go to the hood with fried chicken to pick up black men in that Howard Stern interview. That whole family is racist and uses black people to extend their 15 minutes. That’s all we’re good for to them.

  5. But Kim still isn’t anyone important. I think people are letting these Vogue covers and Kanye’s connections make them forget most of the world and those in power see her as a big joke. It’ better for her to not say anything.

  6. But why are people surprised by this she doesn’t care about anybody but herself let alone black people. Doesn’t matter if she has a mixed baby or a black husband people still think too much of Kim.

  7. This the same chick who didn’t know racism existed. Smh. I don’t understand why ppl be so shocked about these smut buckets not supporting black folks. Honestly I’m glad they don’t *shrugs*

  8. Kim did the right thing by not saying anything. If she did, she would have been dragged much worse. Everything she does is criticized to death anyway.

  9. SMH,do you guys really expect anything better of KK.This airhead doesn’t give a rat’s a– about anything unless its involving her.She somehow manages to bring the spotlight back to her no matter what the focus is at any giving time. Ignore her, stop playing up to her ignorant antics.Attention is what she thrives on and doesn’t care how it comes.I hope better for her daughter.

  10. It’s ashamed this failure of a woman used black people to create her empire but really doesn’t seem to care about what we go through. I know we call Iggy a culture vulture but Kim is the biggest culture vulture of all.

  11. I don’t want this thot to tweet about anything but the superficial ish she tweets about daily. No need to pretend she’s about something when we all know she isn’t.
