Kendall Jenner has made some regrettable fashion choices in the past. She describes the outfit at the top of that list as âgreen denim pants, [a] full neon greenâ ensemble. But as her modeling careerâs taken off, so has her style. Sort of. The 19-year-old slipped up this weekend. On Sunday, she paired her white jeans with nude strappy sandals, a striped Celine bag, and and a vintage band tee, which would be totally cute if not for the Confederate flag printed on the front.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band on Jennerâs T-shirt, long used the Confederate flag, or the âDixieâ flag, as part of their logo. But as the contentious symbolâs become increasingly associated with racism, the groupâs pulled away from using the emblem. "Through the years, people like the KKK and skinheads kinda kidnapped the Dixie or Southern flag from its tradition and the heritage of the soldiers, thatâs what it was about,â Gary Rossington, the bandâs guitarist, said in an interview with CNN. "We didnât want that to go to our fans or show the image like we agreed with any of the race stuff or any of the bad things.â
Jennerâs affiliation with the band and therefore the Confederate flag and therefore racism is most likely unintentional â Kanye West is her brother-in-law, her sister Khloe Kardashian is dating French Montana, and Kylie Jenner is going out with Tyga â but still boneheaded.
Funny enough, her half-sisterâs husband, West, has had some issues with the Southern cross in the past. Numeroase pieces of merchandise from his Yeezus tour featured the white supremacy coat of arms. "The Confederate flag represented slavery in a way. Thatâs my abstract take on what I know about it, right? So I wrote the song, âNew Slaves,'â he explained as his rationale. âSo I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. Itâs my flag now. Now what you gonna do?â
Perhaps Jenner should have learned her lesson from the rapperâs past mistake: associating oneself with slavery is never good for oneâs image. And for a Kardashian (for all intents and purposes), whose life is under a microscope with paparazzi, reporters, and reality show cameras waiting around for one wrong move, itâs especially misguided and unfortunate. |
