Azealia Banks is a quote machine these days.
Banks landed the April cover of Playboy and declared
her hatred for “fat white Americas,” “racist conservative white people who live
on farms,” and “everything about” America.
She also had some not-so-subtle words for Kanye West, who
Banks said
longed for white people to like him and his music.
“In American society, the game is to be a nonthreatening
black person,” she said. “That’s why you have Pharrell and Kendrick Lamar
saying, ‘How can we expect people to respect us if we don’t respect ourselves?’
He’s playing that nonthreatening black man s—, and that gets all the white
soccer moms going, ‘We love him.’ Even Kanye West plays a little bit of that
game — ‘Please accept me, white world.’ Jay Z hasn’t played any of those games,
and that’s what I like.”
Ouch.
Banks’ other comments on America were also startling.
“I hate fat white Americans,” Banks said. “All the people
who are crunched into the middle 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 rapper also threw some support behind the idea of reparations
because her white fans get “handed down” their grandfather’s estate.
Never change, Azealia.
