Imagine if Lady Gaga tweeted this:

"Brazil, y’all are just going to have to take the L and smoke it. I ain't goin to Rock in Rio smdh.”

:ladyhaha:

My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3

the racism in GGD is so deeply rooted now, it saddens me srsly :(

yes, AB is not a saint, but you don't get to dismiss, invalidate or make fun of her experience, struggles as a black woman in a foreign country. 

Sis, where did she provide any legitimate examples of being targeted for her race in Australia? All she said was that people were throwing **** on stage, which literally happens to almost every pop star, regardless of their race.

I've heard from quite a few people that there is a racism problem in Aus though...

I mean I’m sorry that she got stuff throw at her when she’s performing

But it doesn’t mean they are being racist. Being rude mannered and being racist are two different topics 

Also the entire earth is freaking racist af. There’s literally no place on earth where racism doesn’t exist tho

But I can also sympathize because when you are POC, you got racist remark pretty often which may lead to generalization or projection in certain situation. 
 

Racism or not, what she’s being through is not really ok

 

So I hope she will feel better

Highkey don't think it's racist, just concert goers being idiots as usual, but I kinda stan her attitude here :bear:

As much as I hate to say that :bear:

If Gaga told her stans off like this from time to time for being disrespectful, I would live :deadbanana:

True, I did serve a customer in work the other day that said they moved to Aus but then moved back to the UK cos it was real backwards and racist but I guess it depends which area they lived.

celebrating that she has been hate crimed multiple times in Australia and that’s why she’s not returning… did you read the article or just decide to blindly hate again?

Gurl… this is Azealia we’re talking about. The fact she’s black was definitely the last thing on the mind of people who allegedly threw stuff at her, and using the racism card each time she’s being disrespectful and unprofessional herself (meaning: all the time) is really in bad taste.

A lot of conflict in here but as someone actually from Australia I can confirm that racism runs deep here, and while lots of artists get stuff thrown at them on stage getting a water bottle thrown is NOT the same as getting a plush toy thrown at your face. We don't have a lot of black musical artists here and it's definitely seen as more of a novel thing and the majority white audiences don't know how to act, it's really sad.

 Not excusing ABs problematic behaviour but what she said abt this country is right and we don't deserve to have any black international artists tour here tbh. Simular experiences were had by Burma Boy this year and Tyler the Creator so this issue isn't just her overreacting or playing the victim. 

no king, or court!

Sucks she cancelled last minute but tbh Australia (and esp Brisbane) can be very racist and that's from someone who's born here

I feel like I'm going insane here, is there ANY evidence that she was attacked just for being black? 

Do you feel him sir?
