A Jenner/Kardashian stealing from black women? Not a new concept! From hair to clothing, the Kardashians have been stealing from black women for about a decade now. Recently, Kylie Jenner announced her new ‘camo’ collection that will be dropping very soon.

The collection looked eerily similar to PluggedNYC signature clothing that has been seen on people such as Rihanna.

What’s even more coincidental is that Kylie is releasing a swim suit line weeks after PluggedNYC released their newest ‘camo’ focused swim suits.

To some people, it may all seem like a coincidence because camo is a really popular pattern. There’s no way Kylie knows of this line, since it seems like a small line, right? Wrong! PluggedNYC has gifted Kylie some of their clothing, so Kylie knows of their line. The Kardashians/Jenners don’t have a creative bone in their body. Everything they do revolves around stealing from black women and black culture — from getting surgery to have a more curvy figure and big butt (that black woman are degraded for) to getting braids and wigs and acting like they invented it.
It makes me laugh when people assume that black women dislike the Kardashians because they like black men; it’s far deeper than that. These women are profiting from black women, from their likeliness to their ideas. Just recently, Khloe Kardashian stole the designs of a black designer. Without black culture and black women, these women wouldn’t be where they are. People are hypocritical to support the Kardashians for things black women get shamed for, which includes having curvy figures that white people deem ‘unacceptable’ and ‘sloppy’ to wearing braids that jobs wouldn’t allow them to have.
Black women have a right to be angry. This is a huge diss to black creatives. Kylie will probably end up making millions with this line — the same line a black women originally had an idea for. Please support real creatives and not people who steal from them.
