I think @EmeraldHeart should start a big black blog and log off. 

Oh sorry! I didn't know this was an exclusively white space!

I didn't know black opinions that challenged white supremacy wasn't welcome here!

Dunno but you mentioned my color first, not me. I just thought that's where you wanted this to go!

You are so ignorant and I can't

You literally just told a black person to leave the site and to avoid posting here because they are bringing up their experience as a POC.

That's so different from me pointing out your privilege and blindness on this issue by calling you a white boy.

Grow up.

You sound psychotic. Do it all day but don't drag people because of THEIR color. That makes YOU a racist. I don't care what the **** color you are.

And you sound like a racist

I'm not dragging you because of the color of your skin white boy, I'm telling you that as a white person you shouldn't be telling POC how to feel about a white woman caricaturing black woman

Clearly you do give a f*ck what color I am! Because you clearly just told me that I should leave the site because I'm a black man and then told me:

"Dunno but you mentioned my color first, not me. I just thought that's where you wanted this to go!"

That implies that

#1 you took it to another place based on race

#2 you are willing to go to that place

Macklemore got humiliated from every hip hop station talking **** about him to the ESPY awards when Drake called him out with his "Real talent doesn't always win championships, like real music doesn't always win Grammys," line as a huge photo of Macklemore holding his Grammys appeared on a screen behind him

 

 

At least Macklemore did walks for BLM though. At least the dude acknowledges his privileges, at least the dude admits his whiteness contributes to his success, at least the dude isn't pretending to be black or rapping/talking racist ****.

 

Iggy puts on a slave accent, gets on stage and acts like the most ghetto and ignorant representation of black culture, describes herself as a runaway slave master, contributes basic rhyming schemes with clichéd topics and metaphors with her music and then gets on stage and can't actually f*cking rap her own songs...

 

Not to mention her tweets like “Just saw 5 Black men get arrested out the front of popeyes. #damn #stereotypes” or “Owww studio. Me chief. You Indian. I speak…You listen.” 

 

Iggy doesn't get heat for being a white female rapper, she gets heat for being a racist, white woman who appropriates black culture, represents herself as ****ing parody of black women and raps worse than any black female rapper I've heard in my life.

 

If you think she gets it worse than some white male rappers - it's because she refuses to acknowledge her privilege, lacks remarkable talent as a rapper and acts like a racist buffoon.

 

There are some white, female rappers that I **** with - but they are authentic, talented and don't spew racist ****

I LOVE YOU YAS THANK YOU! SLEIGH!

I didn't tell you how to feel about it, big black boy. I didn't tell you anything about it actually. But if you don't think at least part of Iggy's downfall is because she was dismissed for being a white rapper, you're sadly mistaken. And I totally get how the things that she said would disenfranchise an entire group of people and they're horrible things and I'm sorry she said them and that they impacted you.

Anyway, I want to make sure that you understand that to me your color means nothing (not to be mistaken with I don't see color) and I want for you what you want for yourself, but I'll go any place you go my friend and the color of my skin clearly took you there. And that makes you racist.

I'm going to go ahead and lock this since it's been completely derailed.

If you want to discuss your opinions on race issues and how Iggy Azalea is or is not problematic in whatever way, create a thread for it and keep the discussion there. Don't ruin existing threads for people that just want to talk about her as a musician.

Thanks.
