However, fans quickly noticed that the shadow of the placard was not there on the ground with Kendall Jenner's shadow. This made everyone surmise that the model has photoshopped the placard into the image. She was called out on social media for this gesture. 

However, taking to her Twitter account, Kendall Jenner clarified the situation. She said that someone else has photoshopped the photo and it was not even posted by her. Take a look:

In the post, she wrote that she was researching and educating herself to become a "better ally" to the community who have been victims of racism. She added, "I will never personally understand the fear and pain that the black community go through on a daily basis, but I know that nobody should have to live in constant fear. I acknowledge my white privilege and promise I will continue to educate myself on how I can help".
