She really frustrates me because she'll say 10 things I completely agree with, and then one completely insane thing.

[@crystalchampagne]

in ur family / close circle, is there anyone who u fully agree with on everything? probably not. the difference btwn azealia banks and other artists is that she doesnt censor her wacky opinions to get likes

agreed! i need an interview to fully in depth with her cause she has so much to let out, despite the headlines of her "controversy"

[@FirstnameLastname-nx1oh]

I feel if she matured, stopped being barbaric and started being more civilized people would actually take her seriously and maybe listen. She sounds like an annoying emotionally unstable 14 year old you have to be careful not to offend. Maybe she would get there by taking some kind of hero's spiritual journey through the desert, starved, fought to survive and learn and stuff or something.

[@ghengistron1425]

I think her Persona is calculated, which is why I would like to hear a longer interview. Most artist are temperamental, so I wouldn't hold her "outburst" against her or see them as barbaric and uncivilized. It's theatrics meant to push your buttons like a living installment, leaving you both bewildered and unsettled, yet wanting more.

[@EdwinVazquez4119]

As a gay man what she said about white gays is sooooooo true

[@luxlagerfeld]

+Edwin Vazquez AMEN, I agree. I'm a gay Latin man, and white gays are my Hell.

[@kyleg4689]

+Kira Highwind I feel like this happens due to cultural reference points. Most young gays in the media are white and portrayed as overly opinionated and crass without reprisals. Especially if you look at examples from 1990s and early 2000s the white gay characters on TV were able to speak on any social group in any way they wanted and the conversation and analysis would never go any deeper than "Oh how amazing to see a gay person on TV" Young white gay men see these portrayals and end up mirroring this behavior. I hope as the scope of LGBT community comes more and more into the spotlight this issue will be highlighted and addressed.

[@EdwinVazquez4119]

+Kyle G i disagree, i believe white gay men want to be oppressed and feel as though the "oppression" they feel gives them the right to comment about or to even discriminate other oppressed groups such as blacks and women when they themselves fail to check their privilege as white men. White gays first need to understand that their experience as white gays will NEVER be equal to the experience of any other race of homosexual let alone any other type of oppressed group. Im not saying their struggles are not valid but by comparison its a walk in the park.

[@luxlagerfeld]

Azealia is just such a difficult case. I fuck with her and her music but sometimes she be wrong as hell, like dead wrong and it's like she can't see it. It's very destructive and heartbreaking.

[@WarmLittleDiamond90]

+BlizzyBry The only real stupid, dead wrong thing I've heard her say was in this video regarding male producers (I mean...she was obviously just trying to cover her ass and make excuses for the fact that she doesn't work with female producers and it was transparent af - girl just needs to make more of an effort to practice what she preaches). Other than that, I think most of the stuff she says is on-point but she just says it in a shitty, inarticulate way and ends up sounding like a crazy bigot. It's unfortunate because she's so intelligent.

[@RaiRaiBrown]

BlizzyBry Yeah, I see that. I really hope her controversial shit can be quelled so we can enjoy all her positive musical qualities. She's interesting and beautiful, I really love her music And I want to see her make it. Maybe she needs meds, I just want her to make it.

+Aprill Golld Well, I said all this before that happened so yeah. I think she crossed the line.

[@Zeeeeeeeex]

I love her passion & her music but most of all I admire her voice. She says whatever the fuck she wants when she wants. I would argue that despite her surroundings trying to take away her agency she fires back and protects it. She is actively distinguishing her own self-agency and for that, I will support her no matter what. And with all women of color is sucks, at the stage she sits on her ability to make choices and speak freely doesn't afford her the same desired outcomes as a white male. And It's unfortunate what the media does to people who are willing to say things against the status quo. Think about it billion's of people exist on this offline world yet take a look at the ferocity of the online media that seeks to undermine this young lady. Why is the media so passionate on making her a demon child? Of all the users.. fuck it why not report and examine unbiasedly (as the media should) what she's sharing. She's unapologetically, Azealia Banks.

[@APR944]

+Zee P Thank You. XX

[@harrisonthreadgill8308]

Honestly she's great and the media does try to take her down constantly. But how can you stand behind her referring to a large group of people as if they're on person? Don't you think she's showing her personal prejudice and alienating some of her fans?

[@Zeeeeeeeex]

+Harrison Threadgill, of course, she alienates some her fans, even the ones closely aligned with her own identity. And that's what I mean, she'll say 3 things where I'm rooting for her and do or say another where I'm completely dismayed but I would still argue that that's the beauty of her. She's said things in the past that really made me say "enough girl, it's time you focus on your music." And then I say to myself hold up, Artists are placed on these platforms in order to distract us from having some real conversations. Why is "showing her personal prejudice" a crime. We all walk with some prejudice even the marginalized and I believe it is through these conversations with one another that can help reduce the prejudice's we carry from our raised environments. She may not always articulate her point the best but I can see that she's always striving for new information and is always willing to share with her audience where her mind is at. Ask any performer to speak freely for what they believe in and they'll be looking straight at their publicist for an escape as to not shake any feathers.

[@harrisonthreadgill8308]

+Zee P +Zee P I get it and I like what you said. I'm just disappointed that she's using a shitty stereotype to describe a group of people it kinda makes me sad. But at the same time I don't think she's a bad or dumb person. She meant to say it's not okay for gay white men (which idk how this applies to only white dudes) to treat women with disrespect just because they're not attracted to them and people are okay with it because they feel like white gay men are different than straight men/gay men of other races. Instead she said all white gay guys act like the same shitty person. She's still a great artist but she is wrong at that point. It's true everyone does have prejudice but they should really strive to look past that and realize that it's wrong to describe thousands of people as one person. (Not saying you don't know that.)

[@Zeeeeeeeex]

Harrison Threadgill Yeah the generalization isn't the best. Azealia shouldn't demean and write off an entire group. On the flip side generalizing may be the best under this circumstance (this interview) to illustrate her point. She is speaking from her own experiences and --back to generalizing-- implicating anyone who identifies as a gay white male. I can only wish that due to her out spoken-ness someone will challenge her notions and maybe have her re-think or maybe reassert her own. Point is the free flowing of thought is admirable. Thanks for this open dialogue as well! =)

We need to stop dwelling on something that happened 200 years ago. People are targeted for specific reasons, AGAIN In NY, it's more common.Here's the thing, You MAY THINK You can go out here & act a fool & try to be cute, BUT Guess What?!? There are laws saying NO You can't Loot, No You can't walk up & hit old people knocking them down. Just because You're Butthurt you didn't get your spoiled little way, it's ALWAYS CALLED RACISM, ALWAYS!!!! If anything it's Anti-Asshole. Guess what, Shit is getting WAYYY worse. So... Our options are to give up petty childlike behavior,& preprogrammed bullshit of yesteryear & Band & Bond Together! Grow TF Up People!

People are too focused on her approached and NOT what she is saying.

[@cameronvonbetz4031]

I'm gay, AND OH NO IM WHITE! I don't fucking disrespect any-fucking-one and I fucking hate how people generalize gays, and anyone for that matter. The only gay guys that disrespect women are the overly femme gay (which fucking annoy me btw), I would say I'm feminine but I ones that go around saying "YYYAAAASSS", are the ones that give us a bad name and why we have a generalization. I'm so over it. now shut the fuck up.

[@CHICAANDTHEG101]

+David Totterdale Many white gay men have a tendency to be extremely racist. Some appropriate cultures, some sexualize cultures, some proclaim that they have a "sassy Black woman" inside them, some pretend that because they are gay, they are just as oppressed as a Black woman from Harlem.

[@CHICAANDTHEG101]

+David Totterdale I don't like hearing her homophobic language, but as a white gay man who has encountered a lot of horrible white gay men, I completely understand why she would use it. Because it's not out of ignorance and blind hate. It's out of frustration that white men are AGAIN exploiting Black culture and Black women for their own gain.

[@CHICAANDTHEG101]

Andrew Addison Yeah, it's perfectly justified to attack me but how *dare* I even muster the gall to question what your favourite celebrity does! Azalea would probably attack you too, only in your case it would be for being an ass-kissing little bitch. She doesn't seem to take well to those.

As an ethnic gay, here, it isn't limited to only white gay guys. Many gay guys from the general pool of races often feel they can get away with disrespecting women and anyone else. It's a bit ridiculous to think it doesn't transcend beyond one ethnic group.
