Artist Protests Dolce & Gabbana's Ties To Trump While Walking The Runway
The Huffington Post - South Africa ^ | June 22, 2017 | Carly Ledbetter

One man took a stand against Dolce & Gabbana's ties to Donald Trump at the brand's fashion show in Milan this weekend.

While all eyes were on Miley Cyrus' feud with the designers, Atlanta-based musician Raury protested D&G while walking the runway for the Italian design house. Near the end of the runway, Raury took off his D&G top ― revealing the phrases "Protest D&G," "Give me freedom," and "I am not your scapegoat" ― and raised a closed fist to the sky.

He posted the powerful photo on Instagram and wrote about the emotional experience in the caption.

"I never felt so alone, so terrified, yet so alive...Found myself in tears when I realized the people understood, and I'm not just screaming in the dark anymore..." Raury wrote. "If ur in this industry remember that there is a god, and god protects the good... so do the work when aligned to. following my heart from this day forth knowing that I am living truth... If it ever means my end so be it."(continued)

Wow. Good thing models are so irreplacable that he can’t get fired for this stunt. He must be an ambiturner.

Glad to see that Miley Cyrus was able to take time off from her busy daily schedule of entertaining visiting football and basketball teams in the all-together.

What does she have in common with Seattle Slew, again? 😀

There he stood - all alone on the runway - staring death and danger right in the face.

What courage!

Supposedly, he "only" "found out" about D&G & Melania.

Probably also ticked off at Ossoff's rejection by GA voters.

And didn't hear that P. Diddy said "Blacks don't care about Trump".

Somebody flicked on the light or what?

Still a screamer and still a fart in a whirlwind.

That guy was a model?
He looked like your basic wannabe rapper in oversized gym shorts that are never worn in the gym.
Somebody standing outside of a local college with a petition to mandate three years of Minority Studies, regardless of major.

LOL! Someone sneak up behind this drama queen and make a loud noise. The gerbils will run screaming.
