Azealia Banks

yakub smirnoff

imo five-percenter stuff doesn't have to be believed literally to be useful

a helpful reminder that white people are the creation of an evil scientist is good from time to time

I wish I had been created by a scientist in the Caucus mountains
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her

I don't understand anything you guys are on about anymore. Go back to AB again.

I fear for the 85 who ain't got a clue

Lol @ skee lo

i dunno man i feel pretty stoked that i was created by an ancient scientist to rule the world by trickery and deceit

5%-er bullshit is just as funny as kabbalah bullshit, or people who are super deep into Norse paganism, or any of the rest of it. To me, it's no different (and no less sad) than if somebody told me with a straight face that they were a Jedi. That said, "tricknology" is one of my favorite words ever.

can we get a wu tang/30 odd foot of grunts collabo?

Just a reminder that Russell Crowe is also 'crazy' and once plead guilty to second degree assault. Hardly 'civilized' behaviour either. It sounds like he got his shit together, though, which Azealia Banks also needs to do.

Maybe Crowe was actually filming a new episode of fightin roun the world?

thx for the reminder

I keep seeing this thread title and thinking it's going to be about Azalia Snail.

I was about to post this and then I thought "I wonder if I have posted this in this thread before" and indeed I have.

RZA is "slightly racist"? Good grief, Moka, the mess you made here... Smdh

if you think moka is wrong to object to five percenter ideology just disagree with her like a human being. the moralistic condescension thing is getting pretty old around here.

there there

Sorry for bringing RZA into this thread and making a mess out of it. You asked me why I thought he was a little excentric and there I said it and suddenly this becomes a race and religion thread and that's just a fucking bore... let's move on and sorry about that... next time just ignore me. I actually think RZA is very intelligent and didn't meant to say that I find him a tad crazy as a racial slur neither was I trying to dumb him down. Relax.

Going back to Azealia Banks: I was on her facebook page just an hour ago and she posted first that Crowe spit on her and a second post that said 'spitting is not self defense' but erased them. I guess she wont back down.

I think its not only fair but a downright necessity to call out anyone who claims "reverse racism" exists. It doesn't. There is no such thing. That's not "moralistic condescension", something you seem to be fed up with. Which is very convenient for you, guessing you are white, to get tired of. But "reverse racism" is actually a dangerous myth affecting actual non-white *human beings* in their every day lives that should not be perpetuated, or worse, be propagated casually like on this thead.

I value Moka as a poster and a person, and truly believe she did not intend to cause harm. She apologized as well, and that's end of story as far as I'm concerned. But if you perceive calling someone out on reverse racism bullshit as "moralistic condescension", that is on you.

you could have said that instead of "the mess you've made here... Smdh."

Yeah well I'm far from perfect and seemingly needed your remark to be able to state what I meant.

Importantly, RZA does not know the difference between 'rationale' and 'rationality'; this calls everything into question

Guys I don't want to be the one who sparked a fight please stop :(

Also thanks Treeship! Look guys maybe I'm wrong or not seeing the full picture at thinking the 5% thing is kind of wack maybe it's not but if you don't explain me why and just make fun of me then I end up scratching my head without knowing what ignorant shit i just said.

Anyhoo deeply sorry and meant no harm, next time just ignore me or school me and please dont fight with one a other.

great revive

Anytime

moka is european or something fwiw, not that it necessarily excuses anything, but just a little context

wtf does this mean

referring to black people in terms of being "civilized" or not carries different baggage. maybe worse baggage. idk.

bong

Dude you're the one who brought race to the conversation I was saying crazy civilized since when is civilized a word that means white people? It didn't cross my mind at all and you wont make me feel like I was being 'accidentally racist' because I wasn't being racist at all. Civilized crazy was a way of saying I dunno 'normal crazy' like a person that says or acts crazy from time to time but not in a menacing way that required psychiatric help.

I don't appreciate you calling me racist when you're the one who was thinking about weird stuff. Get offended from your thoughts all you want but dont fucking spread them on me.

ahh the grand ilx tradition of "piling on"

when is civilized a word that means white people?

Generally this is how it was used for most of the colonial period where Europe was invading and colonizing other places! I get this is not how you meant it. I am not getting offended by "my own thoughts," I'm pointing out this is generally loaded language when used to refer to classes of people in the United States. If you didn't mean it that way, cool. I meant the language you kept using definitely codes as racist here. I have no idea what your intentions are, but you've made them clear (and then again)

"you're saying stuff that really sounds racist" isn't "omg burn the racist" btw

Ok then next time I'll say crazy-not-crazy

the antonym of civilized is savage. there are definite connotations when you used the term civilized with reference to people of colour in the english language.

angsplaining

they have a lot to 'splain for

Even then I see how the word might sound racist but context is important for it to sound racist and you implied terrible things to be honest. In your mind I was saying RZA is cool because he acts white while Azealia acts black. Like wtf you seriously thought that was what i was saying!?

not consciously

btw throughout all of this I'm thinking "man, Russell Crowe acted really restrained for an australian" so we all have biases to fight

Not unconsciously either I could have said the same thing about Russell Crowe and you wouldnt be calling me racist. I know what I meant you're not making me feel like I wronged anyone.

And no I'm not biased because we dont think in terms of race in my country since we dont have racial struggles. We struggle with economic differences since the middle class is almost nonexistent and sexism (including homophobia in there) I know it's something that might sound unreal to you but yeah here you can be in a room with people of many colors and noone is actively thinking about it. We don't tiptoe around you'll know when someone wants to offend you and I have never in 30 years heard someone angry use racial slurs.

what magical unicorn of a country are you from that has literally zero racial struggles

also mh no amt of reasoning is going to get through to moka if their definition of racism is "actively thinking about race" and "using racial slurs"

Alright then I'm a terrible racist, ban me and get this over with I'm bored with this conversation.

ok moka you are dumb this isn't a cultural difference

every country has racial struggles. and you're a hispanophone no? trying to think of the spanish speaking country that isn't deeply racist ... can't.

if you're in spain: my dad was called a sudaca when we were on holiday in spain when i was a child

if you're anywhere in latin america: I've heard anti-indigenous slurs in every latin american country I've been in

i just want to say i am sorry my love of five percent slang contributed to this

come on this is better than discussing azealia banks

Literally anything is better than discussing azealia banks.

If you must know I was born in California, Spanish parents and raised in Mexico.
