It's no secret that Khloé Kardashian has been through an awful lot in recent weeks.
Ever since the drama started, Khloé has been keeping her Instagram story up to date with motivational quotes and memes apparently relating to the situation.
Over the weekend, one of those posts was a photo of a slogan T-shirt encouraging people to "love thy neighbor". Khloé added her own caption: "Love is the only cure."
People immediately fixated on one of the lines in the photo.
A tweet including a screenshot of the story quickly went viral, amassing 7,000 retweets and almost 30,000 likes.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN REALLY OUT HERE SAYING LOVE YOUR RACIST NEIGHBOR ???? WHHHAAATTTTTT IS THIS IM SICK
People understandably weren't happy with the post.
i KNOW khloe kardashian didn’t just tell me to love my homeless neighbor and my racist neighbor all in one post…this year forreal ain’t her year huh
Some pointed out that Khloé and her sisters have been accused of appropriating black culture on several occasions, and at this point should be more sensitive when it comes to discussions about race.
Khloe Kardashian: appropriates black culture to the fullest extent and her and her sisters (ex. Kourtney) reinforce the systemic oppression of minority groups Also Khloe Kardashian : disregards racism towards minorities by saying shit like “love thy racist neighbor” 😌✨🤞🏻
And many, many people brought up the fact that Khloé shouldn't be encouraging people to "love thy racist neighbor" when her daughter, True, is black.
Imagine having a black daughter and saying “love thy racist neighbour”, what (and I can’t stress this enough) the fuck https://t.co/Wr6Kg68G7x
THY RACIST NEIGHBOUR?! YOUR CHILD IS BLACK KHLOE! THROW THE WHOLE WOMAN AWAY!
Especially considering Khloé has received racist comments about True in the past, prompting her to disable comments on some photos of her baby.
do you know how many racist white people look at me, my children, and their father when we are. like its disgusting that we live in this world. and Khloe is gonna wear a love thy racist neighbor... when she's a mom of a black child...
i really can’t get over the fact that khloe kardashian literally has a black daughter and she posts “love thy racist neighbor”
However, a few people did defend Khloé, saying the post wasn't encouraging people to excuse racism.
Do people not belive in loving your enemies anymore? Loving someone does not mean you support what they say or what they are standing for. If you are showing love to wrongdoers this is the only way they can see the truth and light. Hate does not drive out hate, Love does. https://t.co/jY5Pt2BLBI
Why not? You just going to reinforce their views of you by acting like a dick in return? Find the reason they’re racist in the first place and change their mind about it https://t.co/85VEyrRRWq
