Azaelia is conveying things wrong but her hearts in the right place. When Nicki complained about black discrimination in the music industry (a legitimate point) Miley dismissed it as Nicki making things about herself and to make matters worse Miley comes to the VMAs donning dreadlocks (aka cultural appropriation of a natural black hairstyle) whilst black celebs get routinely slated for it (like Zendaya a few months ago who donned dreadlocks and was labelled as a smelly druggie by the media - but white celebs get called edgy etc when they do it. This is fact; Kylie Jenner is another example). Nicki, Azealia, and many other black celebs are fed up of having their culture exploited by white celeritiee so they're understandably frustrated and gonna come out with these tweets. Focus on WHY they're saying these things - they're saying white people have no culture because they feel black culture is being exploited and stolen to make up for it. It's not because they're racist it's because they're FED UP. The fact that people will RUN to the opportunity to call out black celebs for 'racism' but didn't bat an eyelid when white celebs like Miley were donning dreadlocks, whilst black celeb Zendaya was slated for it, says a lot really. It just proves that there is solid basis to what Azealia and Nicki are fighting for, and indicates that a lot of people lack an integral level of education and empathy.

Azealia is clearly not an idiot and although i thought Nicki's rant was a mess she was still able to put across her views in that deem one race inferior to another. Imo some of Azealia's tweets are jut insane.

Talk about a false equivalency. Let me give you some info.
To be racist you require privilege and power, which white people (within our society) have whereas black/asian/jewish people do not. Racism is not just “omg she called me a cracker”. It’s institutional and cultural oppressions that affect your life on a daily basis, not isolated instances. |

mmm it is food for thought. It's harder to listen though when people are insulting you, you immediatly go on the defensive but I do think there is a problem there. Actually reading Ithinkiloveyoutoos posts has made me think more about it

I realise that we will likely never agree on this, but just because white people may have not been 'oppressed' in the past, doesn't mean they cannot recieve racial hatred for being white. At the end of the day, racism by definition, is when you hate on anyone for their race. These double standards that people have are completely ridiculous and actually do more damage than good. Yes, I'll agree that Hollywood is racist, but it's also sexist, homophobic and ageist. The sooner people get over the idea that Hollywood is brilliant, the happier people will be. I'm sorry, but I can't deal with a number of people on here acting like white people can't experience racism when they've not travelled to anywhere other than the UK. You have no idea what goes on in the world when you've only lived in one country. I have a friend who has moved to the states and she says she's never felt so unwelcome in her life. All because she's white. It's disgusting and it's wrong. Just because white people havent been 'oppressed' doesn't mean that they should be pushed to the side because' LOL WHITE PEOPLE' .

![]() Josh perhaps you should look into this subject more before you start going "let me give you some info" as if you're the expert on the matter - clearly you don't know what racism actually means ..anyone can be racist, so please stop with this "only white people can be racist!!!" nonsense.
