The branded merchandise was unveiled at the Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit (TPUSA), a meeting of young black conservatives held in Washington on Saturday. The shirts feature the word ‘Blexit’ and ‘We free’ slogan’.

“Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” TPUSA’s Communications Director Candace Owens told Page Six.

Next year, the Blexit movement will hold rallies “in every major city in America that the Democrats have destroyed,” Owens announced. While West was not present at the event, he was there “in spirit,” according to her.
Did you know:
The first seven black Americans elected to Congress were ALL Republicans
Democrats try to erase the truth from our history books
This is why it is time for a #BLEXIT from the Democrat party

Adam West is misinformed, the Republicans do not have a ‘decades long’ history of racism trying to silence black voters.
Kanye West is making "Blexit" merch to encourage a black exit from the Democratic Party. What he actually seems to be encouraging is acceptance of the Republican Party's decades-long racist effort to silence black voices via mass incarceration, voter suppression & gerrymandering.

Apart from clothing, the Blexit.com website was launched, featuring stories of the black defectors from the Democratic Party. Owens herself has left the Democrats, urging other black Americans to follow suit and get rid of the “hamster mentality” that the party is somehow by default the only good one for black people.
My two favorite hats. #BLEXIT is about making America great by recognizing that we are ALL AMERICANS. We will no longer allow the media rhetoric and angry leftists to keep us apart.
I love you all. https://t.co/ByEoMNA59T pic.twitter.com/S3daqkwdP0

The Blexit clothing surely goes well with the red MAGA hats, since Kanye West is a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump. The two recently met in the White House, with the rapper giving one of his most fiery speeches that the President’s office has ever seen.
