Here in America we get offended by the dumb shit people say ALL THE TIME. We get offended by comedians' jokes ALL THE TIME. The issue here is mass murder. I don't know what your news media is reporting, but "no one should have been offended" is not the underlying current here. No one should have been murdered is.

Do you guys realize how truly important Bill Cosby is to black people. It is not the man's legacy she doesn't want forgotten, it's the legacy of culture and understanding that he had built for black people that she doesn't want forgotten. Cosby's legacy did not just belong to him. I think it's easy to forget on this…

No. What a bunch of bullshit. Bill Cosby is white America's favorite house negro. They let him get away with raping white women for decades; they wouldn't willingly throw "a good one" under the bus. There is definitely an important dimension of race involved, but there is also an incredibly powerful sociopath with…

Nephew was not charged with anything. +1 for the police this time around.

What fucking assholes for relatives she must have, caring and asking questions. This poor girl.

Maybe it's because your answers were smug, unpleasant, and unfunny. I don't think your family members are the ones who need to "get over [them]selves."

Maybe she does have particularly unpleasant relatives. Maybe that's why she turned out so obnoxious.

Have you ever thought of looking beyond your own little selfish bubble and thinking that maybe it's a big deal for relatives, especially older relatives, to get to see their extended family once or twice a year?

Teen snark is not as funny as teen thinks it is. People ask these questions because they want to interact with you, and this is an easy, safe way to do it. Your time would be better spent learning how to make polite conversation. I joked about doing the same thing when I was a teen/young adult, but I didn't, because I…

jezebel hates her. And having a different opinion only breeds more hate your way. I don't get it, but that's how this shit seems to always go. Snaps for voicing a different view though.

This is just so god damned stupid. What Iggy has done is no different than what the Rolling Stones did with the whole 'appropriation' of black music. Fuck that, art is art, everyone has a right to make whatever art they want, regardless of who influenced them or how good or not good the art is.

Okay, so I understand that she has made some racist tweets or whatever it was (I don't know the specifics), and she was stupid to have that "slave-master" line (wtf was she thinking?), and that is definitely an important part of the context here. But what, really, is wrong with anything she said? I think she's right…

Thanks! Nywoman made some good points but I still think it's ultimately like, "Oh no, this celebrity didn't give her [presumably] ignorant opinion on a subject she is [presumably] unqualified to talk about? Shame on her! Let's release a sex tape of her." I wish more celebrities would shut the fuck up more often! I…

i think banks is way more genuine as an artist but iggy does have a point that she needs to calm her ass down

Just because your Black or a sympathizer with Black Culture,doesnt mean you have to share the same political views on every issue. Hell there are Black Republicans who listen to hiphop. Im Black and a Democrat and I think there should have atleast been trials in both Eric Garners and Mike Browns death,but I dont…

Anyway, yeah, Iggy's ignorant as fuck and a problematic figure in our current pop culture, but just because she Azalea has leeched her style and persona off black culture does not give anyone the right to release any part of her sex tape.

I didn't say they weren't. I specifically said she's terrible. "Blatantly AS vile." Banks' was taking crib notes from Mein Kampf with some of her comments about Jewish people. She's also said horrendously ignorant things about gay slurs.

Ol'Igloo, terrible as she is, has never said anything as blatantly vile as Banks' comments about Jewish people.

So I looked up what Iggy Azalea said about Eric Garner and it looked like people were just mad because she didn't say anything? Did I miss something? Because, if that's all it is, I get the idea that if she is a white woman profiting off black styles of music she has an additional responsibility to show solidarity…

Iggy Azalea sucks, but.... Yeah, this is a seriously messed up way of 'punishing' her. It only works if we assume that the sex tape is showing her doing something 'wrong' or 'shameful'. She's just having private consensual sex. It has nothing to do with her racism.
