Given her Armenian descent,
Kim Kardashian has always made sure
to commemorate the horrific genocide her people experienced back in 1915 at the
hands of the Ottoman Empire.
And when the Wall Street Journal ran an ad denying the historical holocaust,
the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star took to her blog to voice her
disapproval- “Money talks, and right now it’s talking sh*t. My family and I are
no strangers to BS in the press. We’ve learned to brush it off. Lies make good
headlines, good headlines make great covers, great covers sell magazines. But
when I heard about this full-page ad that ran in the Wall Street Journal denying
the Armenian genocide, I couldn’t just brush it off.”
She continued, “For the Wall Street Journal to publish something like this is
reckless, upsetting and dangerous. It’s one thing when a sh*tty tabloid profits
from a made-up scandal, but for a trusted publication like WSJ to profit from
genocide — it’s shameful and unacceptable. Advocating the denial of a genocide
by the country responsible for it — that’s not publishing a ‘provocative
viewpoint,’ that’s spreading lies. It’s totally morally irresponsible and, most
of all, it’s dangerous. If this had been an ad denying the Holocaust, or pushing
some 9/11 conspiracy theory, would it have made it to print?”
