She only mentioned Iggy twice in last what, year? But she keeps attacking b/c she questioned why she wasn't vocal on black issues, or b/c she was asked about her in a grander scheme of and interview. And Iggy attacked right back with personal insults as well, but only Azealia looks like a freakin animal in those photos.

Why is not relevant now? Does her posting a link magically erase everyone's brains to the topic at hand? People will always use "jealousy":, or promo, or "she didn't say it right", to stop conversation and invalidate her.

She's using Iggy to promote herself. It's actually kind of sad how she's taking advantage of real issues to play victim to help her career. No one is taking her seriously. Her attitude is horrible, and the images the media have handpicked reflect that. And Azealia is playing victim again.

So by calling it a promo opportunity, you just proved that she is beefing with iggy for promo. I dont see iggy tweeting links concerning her music when she is responding to azealia so why did azealia have to tweet her album? And stop saying we are distracting from he bigger problem. You wanted iggy to say something about black issues? she did. you wanted her to address the racist tweets? she did. You wanted her to address the slave master lyric? She did. You want her to fix a problem that stems from years and years of oppression and institutionalized racism? She cant. So whats your argument?

Iggy did literally one of those three things. And even if Azealia used it for promo, it doesn't make what she said false. It's TRUE, but yea she is using it for promo. Big whoop. It's coming to her anyways.

What does she expect, she is acting like an angry bitch and attacking Iggy. She can't play the victim when the media starts turning on her.

The point is that the visuals and side they're on is already determined before anyone even takes a millisecond to actually LISTEN to Azealia and try to understand her... and that includes the media. They don't have to represent her like they do, but they do to push a racist agenda. even if it's subconscious which is no better than intentionally being racist.

She did everything i mentioned actually
Azealia is using her platform to attack individuals and not the system itself. Have you noticed that there's more to why the media is portraying iggy is a nicer light than azealia? Look at how azealia proposes her arguments: azealia tweets threats, violence and slurs while iggy tweets like shes reading a ****ing fortune cookie, one is less negative than the other which is why she gets painted as an aggressor. While what azealia says might be true, the way she says and how she carries herself overshadows everything she is trying to say

So the media is siding with Iggy Azalea instead of a very openly racist homophobe who has repeatedly used the word f****t, made anti-semitic comments, insulted and attacked almost everyone with a pulse, and has just now been tweeting racist comments against white. This is the same woman who, mid-feud, stopped to push for album sales. She's using this for promo and doesn't actually mean a word that she's saying.
I don't see the issue. Literally anyone is better than Azealia
EDIT: In b4 I'm reminded of Iggy's several year old twists that the media ALSO (deservedly) dragged her over because Azealia dug them up for promo

Azealia doesn't have a s****y media representation because she's black (the media ADORES Bey), she has a s****y media representation because her personality is awful. She can't just make a point, she has to lace it with insults, racism/homophobia, nicknames, mocking, promo-for-her-album, etc.

No one is going to listen to her if she is acting a damn fool. The media just care about hits, they will post bad pics of anyone and use pics that go with their stories.

Do you see how much of an attack on me there is JUST BECAUSE I am a black woman speaking about things that matter to ME.
|
This is where she goes wrong.
No one is attacking her for being black, or for speaking about things that matter to her. People are attacking her for being a bully. She is unable to make points without calling names, posting disgusting memes, adding in homophobic or racist comments (in many cases) and, as always, victimizing herself.

This. SO MUCH this. Plenty of other black woman have been able to discuss major issues like racism or sexism without getting NEAR the level of hatred Azealia does. It's not because she's black, it's because of her personality period.

Even then, your don't preface you articles with one girl in full makeup, and the other looking like she got out of bed. Like what don't you get? Why is it necessary for them to post those pictures? What does her appearance have to do with the content of her words? Like some you are so clueless.

Bad guy/good guy storyline. Portray the person you think is wrong in an unattractive light. It has nothing to do with her being black, but it has everything to do with her being a bully, attacker, etc
