Azealia Banks posted a list of “The 8 White Identities” on Instagram today (January 5). They are “White Supremacist,” “White Voyeurism,” “White Privilege,” “White Benefit,” “White Confessional,” “White Critical,” “White Traitor” and “White Abolitionist,” according to the post.
The rapper then said on Twitter that “White people on Twitter are attacking me like black people are the only group of people who feel a way about whites”and also said, “I promise you: EVERYONE FEELS VICTIMIZED BY THE WHITE MAN, Indians, native Americans, Asians, Latinos…… It’s not just me lol.”
These tweets arrive after Banks’ exchange last month with Iggy Azalea, whom Banks accused of “cultural smudging” after it was announced that she was nominated for Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Best Rap Album Grammys.
“The message I see when I see these Grammys being given out—Cause it’s bigger than just playing shit on the radio,” Banks said at the time. “I have a problem when you’re trying to say that it’s Hip Hop,” she added. “And you’re trying to put it up against black culture. Even Nicki Minaj over the past two, three, four years has done so much to kind of create this social presence and this hold on just like social consciousness…It’s like a cultural smudging is what I see. And when they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is like ‘Oh yeah, you’re great, you’re amazing, you can do whatever you put your mind to.’ And it says to black kids ‘You don’t have shit, you don’t own shit, not even the shit you created for yourself.’ And, it makes me upset.”
Banks’ Instagram post and tweets are as follows:

All that is true but all this broads music is made for a white audience so she’s basically full of shit.
Replace white with black and you have the same thing. It’s just a ladder of self-loathing. Society has been set up to carry African Americans for 50 years, it’s very telling that the only complaints are cultural and about who is allowed to use what sort of beats. it’s just a kafkatrap, the exact sort of stupid shit women like her use. “Denial of the crime is further evidence of guilt.” Hahaha fucking racist idiot taking white culture and acting like some white Australian rapping is the end of the world.
I disagree. Affirmative Action benefitted White women the most along with other set asides. It’s always these dummies such as yourself that tries to deflect your bs like White people does no wrong. No matter what Iggy’s color is. She’s a gimmick and garbage. A modern day minstrel show.
“It’s always these dummies such as yourself that tries to deflect your bs” Oh the irony. Where did he say white people has never done anything wrong? nowhere. Deflect that, dumbass….
tired of this bitch
If you are so tired of her, why are you reading articles about her?
^ I don’t he think he read the article, I think he just came in here to comment that he is tired of her. Are you not reading what he wrote?
Shes gotta realize at this pt white ppl just dnt care lol were winning as a whole ur right. We dont consider those a diss wr consider that great everyone keeps talki about white man
U dont talk about winners all day everyday if their losing. Fact.
Hating whites for being racist is like hating spiders for having eight legs. She’s got it wrong about Asians though, they hate us more than the whites do, but at leaste they’re not covert or insidious with their hostility.
A racist complaining about racism how ironic LOL. This bitch us a joke.
*is* damnit
if you think she is a racist, you clearly have an erroneous understanding of what racism is.
I will enlighten you, ignorant one. Racism is a denial of access to others of in most instances socio-economic and socio-political opportunities – what has historically happened to black people in this country. merely having a prejudice which we all have is not enough. you might be prejudiced, however, if you have no power then you cannot unilaterally deny people economic opportunities, educational or housing opportunities. you are one of the people who throw the word around without having a thorough understanding of ACTIVE racism.
rac·ism
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
if that “8 kinds of white people” post isnt racist then i dont know what is
ok, Bigot Banks it is
If that is your definition of racism, then that begs the question:
Why do neither the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Dictionary.com, nor The Oxford Dictionary define racism as necessarily institutional, systemic, or uniquely purveyed by white people?
Why would anyone grant this definition as valid, let alone a fact? It seems like nothing more than a revisionist defintion of the term/word.
i merely relayed what the noun racism actually means, not how it feels to your specific worldview.
i would suggest for you to learn how dictionaries (and college dictionaries) function as far as family definitions/distinctions go.
a sociology 101 class wouldn’t hurt either.
also, to think that azaelia banks is a racist would be far from erroneous. she is the textbook definition. overt and plain as day, which unfortunately is why she is dismissed from constructive discussion.
people like her use other people’s wrongs to justify their own.
I like what she has to say.
She has at least one thing right. Black kids do not own hip hop. No one owns hip hop.
I like where you going with this!
The majority of her listeners and people buying tickets to her shows are white, lets be honest here. I don’t disagree with the 8 degrees of white because that is true but the same goes for every single race. All she does is pick a topic people are sensitive about and talk about it in order to stay relevant because her music is no where near good enough to gain recognition on its own.
im a white male that came up with 1 parent, a family fulla addicts and poor as fuck..
miss me with the fuckin white privilage shit..if thats 8 there is a 9 called struggle.
no; I think she is making reference to the dick you and your mom suck on daily.
She honestly thinks she is doing the right thing…but is just another racist making things worse.
NOBODY OWNS HIP HOP YOU RACIST FIZZUCKS
^ Them your mama jokes should be extinct! Come out with new material bruh!
This bitch looks like she stinks, she has hairy arms & a general manly look to her.
Has anyone ever actually listened to her music? I don’t understand her concept of furthering black culture. Iggy is trash, but her music sounds like classic records next to Banks.
Banks is super salty that jocking Brittany Spears ain’t work out for her.
this is racism And this women will destroy sales in rap music cause she is going to cause a boycott on the music from white people or anyone who feels racism should be over with now (the only way to get rid of it is treat everyone equal(this means if tiger woods wants to play golf he can if iggy wants to rap she can if a white man is resisting arrest he is treated the same a anyone else) this shit is going to cause a revolution)
tiger woods came into golf and dominated and white ppl embraced him
jackie robinson was hit with heavy racism but how long was that? thats how far back black people as a whole are mentally still talking about what and what race cant join something when the world is for everyone.
eminem is a certified civil rights leader
Wait?! She raps?
black people
n!ggers
theives
crackheads
drug dealers
HIV patients
welfare reciepents
bums who always use the race card bc their 2 stupid 2 use their minds.
Sorry you cant handle the truth, and if all this is true why are you on this website caveman ? Why ?? You know this is a hiphopwebsie right??? White people fit the same description you just made, and you know you wouldnt make that statmet face to face with a strong militant black male . You know your whole face would get stomped in. U cavemen are all cowards.
I guess ican ask u then
Why r u on the white mans internet
On the white mans computer or iphone
Using white mans language
Wearing white owed and produced cloths
Playing white man sports
Making music on white invented instruments like saxaphone to make blues and hiphop and jazz and guitar too??
U answer that then ill go..
Agreed. I love my culture!
I don’t care much for this Ms. Banks music but she got more heart and has been more honest about this reality than ANY one of these dudes that’s out rapping now…Lupe won’t say it. Jay-Z married to it. Kendrick confused by it. Kanye turned out by it and Drake is one of them…
what a retarded ass comment. she is saying nothing new. afrocentric arguments and talking points (some are which completely irrational) have been around long before azealia was ever born. hell, she has to post someone else’s words and parrot other people’s ideas with her wannabe problack pseudo-intellectual ass
I agree. Banks is dope for speaking so openly about this stuff and making whites uncomfortable. lol
Hahahah if u think banks comments make us any thing other than laugh then u underestimate us a whole race. We can careless. She just dropped an album sold 4k lmaoo and she sucke the same dick for money shes talkin shit about now to
Black ppl should be more upset how shes maling u look. Bitter haters
Has anyone actually listened to her music? That shit is pop garbage, and if she was white people would accuse her of trying to gentrify Hip Hop. At least Iggy got famous off a fake DJ Mustard beat. Also everything she is saying is straight up racist. Imagine if white people said “Oh no black people can’t play basketball because we invented it!” If you were unbiased you would realized she is being just as racist.
Her music is incredible and innovative. Unlike rappers like J Cole and Kendrick, she actually makes an effort to do something different. I applaud her for that.
LOL this has to be tongue in cheek. Her music is trash.
i bought her album. she’s got an amazing flow. better than any other female rapper i’ve heard.
this chick is trash… her music nobody cares about so she tries and call for attention anyway she can… go away fuckin thot
i just read an old interview where homegirl said she was FUCKIN 57 YEAR OLD WHITE GUYS when she was 17 because they would buy her stuff and take her to nice restaurants! she victimized herself, fuckin hoe!
racism is a system of injustice that oppresses people socially, economically and politically. its way more than just I dont like you because of your culture and skin tone. but those in the dominate society like to use the reverse racism thing to avoid blame, however, blacks are not in the position to oppress and disenfranchise anyone. they dont make the laws or control major industries therefore, how can they be racist? prejudice or stereotyper, perhaps.. bigots at times maybe. but not racists.
DX really need to stop giving this idiot attention. She spends most of her time attacking white people on Twitter then tries to pull the victim card? Get the fuck out of here.
Still yet to see 1 post about this chicks music, smh. What’s one positive thing she has brought to the culture? I can’t knock the sites for posting about her on a slow news day though because at this point she’s become so damn annoying that I have to click to read what’s the latest outlandish shit to come out of her thirsty ass mouth.
f em crackas. I will pipe their mothers with my 10 inch BBC
smh yep everyone feels that way but obamas president dr dre is a billionaire and jay z is richer than everyone of my white friends parents combined…but yea this statement is true
But you would never look at Dr. Dre and Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet and see them as the same. For every Rich Jay Z there is a Petersons and Smiths that no one knows living in a mansion in NJ. Why even compare? There is no comparison.
@guest– then instead of all your people wasting their time on rapping, balling and chasing bitches
study, work hard and become a doctor (even tho theres millions of black doctors, lawyers ect around the world)
thats a black people prob ur not focuse on anything besides music and bball
You are making vary racist generalizations, and you need to shut the fuck up…
white ppl feel entitled to everything… hence why when ppl question them, or tell them about themselves they get upset… yet pp of colour are questioned daily, and if they dont answer they get questioned even more… white ppl have always been on top, and when they r not.. they steal and kill… just look at the history. anyway what she posted is true… we live in a white society the evidence is everywhere.. all visible minorities live it and see… white ppl live in this bubble, hey cry wolf, ask them if racism is alive and they say not really… cause they dont live, they dont understand as hard as they try. they never will…well they might in the next 150 yrs.
100%. We do live in a white society that is always pandered to. And fuck, racism is as alive as it’s ever been, it’s just packaged differently than it used to be. I am white and I absolutely don’t know what it’s like to live as someone who isn’t but I certainly know that the current structure needs to be destroyed and rebuilt without such an obvious bias. I also don’t pretend to be another race that I’m not but I will damn sure try to empathize whenever possible.
Let me disclose, I am white first. I can’t really disagree with what she’s saying. The white man runs the world, and to the detriment of almost every (if not every) non-white race on the planet. A new paradigm must be forged with the old, fat, rich white man getting taken down a peg or 7 and actually have to work for his status. Call me an uncle tom, call me whatever, but what i do know is shit needs to change.
while i get your point..the chinese (asians) dont bow to anyone and have the largest population in the world..so if america went to war with them wed lose more than likely.(if not both countries destroyed)
your white but calling yourself an uncle tom? im pretty sure your black ive seen ur posts before on here.
WOOOOW THATS UBER RACIST!HAHA WE LIVE IN 2015 AND SHE TALKS ABOUT WHITE BENEFITS BECAUSE SHES NOT SUCCEEDING.HAHAHA THERES PLENTY OF BLACK ACTORS,COMEDIANS,MUSICIANS WHO SUCCEED SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD START LOOKIN AT YOUR MUSIC?!?BECAUSE THATS 8 IDENTITIES OF TRASH!HA!#THISMADEMYDAY#SHEJUSTCANTLETITGO#TRASHMUSIC#RACIST#KUKLUXKLANSHIT#VOTEOBAMA
everybody feels victimised by azaleia banks
Bitch is more of a Fox News anchor than a rapper. With all of the damage and and cultural regression this bitch is trying to cause, I honestly don’t think there’s a practically-thinking soul alive who wouldn’t celebrate if this cunt got a bullet to the back of her head
The same way YT’s can hate blacks on Fox news, this woman is also entitled to her opinion. See, this is the power of white supremacy. Only whites have the right to hate other races, because they are superior…fuck that!
Lord Jamar,is that you?
yawn
as much as i dislike this girl for her outbursts and bullshit white music, yes her music is white europop.
this post is great
Black people didn’t come to America out of choice and it isn’t YOUR country you dumb, ignorant hick.
To think she actually googled this shit!HAHAHA!And of course on the internet you always find something that benefits the purpose!Shes a black racist!We about to be opressed!
Whoever feeds into this 1960 racist bullshit is about as ignorant as the person who started it…how does the white man “run the world” when there’s a fucking muslim in the white house…say…didn’t muslim’s try to blow us up??? the racist shit is worn out…move on and quit playing the race card just because your career isn’t taking off like you want it to…it’s work your ass off…not to many people know what that is anymore….people in music can just get signed without talent anymore and brainwash “some” people into thinking its good…most rap out today is trash anyway…black or white…so idk what the fuck she’s blabbering about to begin with
I remember Obama denied he was muslim in order to get in the White House. Saying it was his father’s religion and it wouldn’t matter if he was Hindu we all know who run pull the strings, at least the color of his skin
considering all she puts on ig is fake post’s of fake info just shows u have no clue!
I love this woman, she is unafraid to speak truth and speak freely without fear of backlash from
white-skinned people. Every culture on earth has been victimized by white males because we live under a system of global white supremacy. You can go all around the planet and you will see Apartheid on the continent of Africa, Jim Crow in North America and savage racism in Australia just to name a few and this behavior has been consistent throughout history when white-skinned people interact with other cultures.
These albino Neaderthal mutants are slowly dying off and will ultimately become extinct like their mating partner the historical Neanderthal but they I tend to destroy as much of this earth as possible before they die out.
