I’m white, I’m American, but thank goodness I’m not fat and living on a farm, because if I was, I would be deemed a racist by default according to rapper Azealia Banks. In an interview with Playboy, Banks declared “I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma — that’s really America.”
The statements by Azealia Banks are ignorant, moronic, mindless, and most importantly, racist! Azealia Banks is a racist! There is no other way around it. Instead of judging individuals by their own individual actions, Banks states that everyone who is white, living on a farm, who has conservative values, is automatically racist. Someone who classifies people based on the color of their skin and not the content of their character, encourage racism and jingoistic tribalism.
She also said “My little white fans will be like, ‘Why do you want reparations for work you didn’t do?’ Well, you got handed down your grandfather’s estate and you got to keep your grandmother’s diamonds and pearls and shit.” Should Azealia Banks not be able to hand down her fortune to her children? Would that be racist? She implies that.
Banks claims to “hate everything about this country”, but does that include the free market economy that allowed her to make millions and become famous selling noise pollution? Does she hate the Bill of Rights that guarantees her freedoms? Ultimately, Azealia Banks’ career will most likely be short lived. I was not familiar with her music before this article, and I definitely won’t be familiar with it after.
