Vernier 3,786 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 We stop looking for racism at every opportunity, instead educate that the past is the past and work on rehabilitating the views of some who are still living in a time period which has expired. Not using events that happened 100-200 years ago as justifiable excuses to call every white person a cracker. How do you go about telling people that the past is the past when there are still generations of people suffering and will continue to suffer due to those events? You can't just educate people and say "well sorry that happened hundreds of years ago, can we move on now?" when those events still influence millions till today Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernier 3,786 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes millions of africans are still slaves today to the british empire yup that hasn't gone at all, the british empire is still around No need to speak in ridiculous hyperbole Yes technically no one is enslaved anymore, but are the repercussions of those events still felt today or nah? So how exactly does educating people and banishing those events to the past fix that? Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Draco 2,531 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I hate how she is dumb enough to think that some white people who are racist and are “cultural smudging" count for all white people. There was a black man who robbed a bank last week, does that make every black person robbers? She should stop it. P.S, I love Azealia and I agreed with what she said in the interview, but this is too much. I pray for her All of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
myOWNtable 182 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It seems like she keeps alienating anyone who would want to be her fan. I don't want to say anything about Black people in general, because I'm sure someone will shout "racist!" Then I'll shout, "truth!" Really though, she needs to promote her music first and foremost.

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 you dont need to take her words so literally. she is saying that she feels bad for white people because they are so afflicted by white guilt. that is her point. how exactly is she generalizing It's not like if she tweeted a metaphor or something that should be interpreted. She generalized and you are generalizing too by saying "white people are so afflicted by white guilt". I'm not saying that you or Azealia meant to generalize but the way you say certain things can affect the way others are going to interpret your statements. So you can't blame people for interpreting her statement aa a generalization because she literally said that. A better use of the language would have fixed everything.

The problem is that she wouldnt use better formulation anyway. She literally feels irrational hate to any white more successful person. Iggy being the prime example.
