I don't feel like I should have to make a comment about my own situation just to feel like I can make a valid comment but the weight of white guilt being plugged here is just  |
I didn't say my comment b/c of her mentioning "white, female, Australian" etc.
I mentioned race b/c that's the undertone of this ENTIRE conversation of Iggy vs. Azealia.
Did you listen to Azealia Bank's Hot 97 interview? It touches on it. Although she comes off as bitter in most cases, she actually made a TON of sense in that interview (re: cultural appropriation).
I personally feel like Charli's comments were ignorant b/c of either of the following:
1) She's speaking out of turn...and commenting on stuff she knows nothing about (rivalry b/t the two rappers). Or...
2) She saw Azealia's Hot 97 interview and doesn't care (aka white privilege). Which wouldn't be THAT shocking....considering that we live in such a self-centered society, where only OUR individual issues are the MOST important - while ignoring other struggles of other minorities (whether it be gender equality, equality regardless of sexual orientation, etc).
Either way she needs to shut the **** up, until she's more educated on the situation. Plain and simple.
Just like Japanese people own Japanese.
