    Speaking with the owner of the “White and Privileged” Lethbridge clothing company today. He says he never intended it to convey racist or white supremacist messaging but was meant to be a jab at the concept of white privilege. #yql

        He adds that he, his children and family have had death threats and child services called. He says Lethbridge Police checked out his gun licensing earlier and gave him the all-clear, after concerns over the weapons in advertisement photos. #yql

        I spoke with a Lethbridge BLM activist earlier today who said he hopes the community views this as an opportunity to continue discussions about race and white privilege. He adds that this is also an opportunity for white allies to step up and take meaningful action. #yql

        The website and Facebook page have both been removed, and the owner says he will not be pursuing further sales. #yql

        Officials from the Canadian Brewhouse say they were not aware their logo or Lethbridge location were being used in an advertising photo. They immediately asked for it to be removed and say they do not support or want any affiliation with messages conveyed by the brand. #yql

        Owner of #WhiteandPrivileged says the TikTok videos with messages about race and white privilege were created by him. He says others involved in the company have since abandoned ship. One woman who modelled in some advertising photos has posted an apology for her involvement.

        When asked about the white supremacist themes of some of the memes, videos and content shared on the company’s Facebook page, the owner says that is not what was intended. #yql #WhiteandPrivileged

        To clarify: the owner says he DOES understand why people are upset, but does not believe white privilege exists because of his own personal experiences. Some people have reached out to have open conversations about race and privileged and he says he’s appreciative. #yql

        A jab?? Seriously?! Possibly the most disingenuous things I’ve read all year. Whoever this person is gets to own their racism and it’s consequences
