Here in Australia, we had a delightful anti-Aboriginal policy we now know as “the Stolen Generations”.

I benefit from white privilege every day - generational wealth, teachers who didn’t assume my mistakes were agression, access, etc. and I have for my entire life. The starkest moment of, “Damn, this is some white privilege,” I’ve had recently was:

I didn’t discover him, but I never sat in that chair again after that, nor did I let friends sit in that chair. Eventually, they got rid of it when they re-did the decor. I’m also always giving people second looks when they’re sleeping on the bus or the train to see if there are signs of life, like breathing or…

The thing is, if you call 911, the DISPATCHER decides whether or not to send police, and PD decides whether it’s a priority call or not. She might be the Beckiest Becky in all of Beckydom, but Philly PD has clearly been enabling her.

How did her employees not call the DM for wasting fucking time at a busy place where she then routinely had to be taken from customers to talk to the police? Everything about this Becky screams privilege and laziness.

You beat me to it, girl!

My question is, once you get to like...20 calls with zero arrests made, don’t the cops have an obligation to, ya know...stop humoring her? Because there’s clearly no crime? How did the police let this happen 41 times and not tell Becky With Too Much Time on Her Hands to, at the very least, only call in case of actual…

Precisely. Whilst Azaelia Banks is not without problem (girl just needs to learn when to sit down and shut up sometimes) she hit the nail on the head with her comments about Iggy Azalea loving all the “fun” aspects of Black culture but remaining silent on Black political issues. I can understand why a Black female…

Would a black woman who wanted to rap have been told to do pop instead?

Sure, but there’s also the fact that everyone said she just wasn’t a very good rapper. I don’t think people were like “She shouldn’t rap because she’s white.” they’re saying “She shouldn’t rap because she’s not very good.”

White people can rap. What people object to is her trying to pretend she is black while rapping. Its not really a difficult distinction. Macklemore, Aesop Rock, there are other white rappers that people dont have a problem with. Hell, Eminem sounds hood as fuck but people dont care because he is actually hood as…

You are ignoring the many, many times that Ms. Hope makes the case that ultimately the problem with Iggy is that the raps are not good. The contrast with Eminem is instructive; his raps are technically great with clever, meaningful rhymes and a grace and ease to the flow; more importantly his voice feels authentic and…

Uhhh, black women are told they are not welcome constantly, from all different sources in all corners of American society. Including in hip hop.

She wasn’t told to go pop bc she was white. it was because she literally could not rap. Her being white and austrailian just exposed her mediocrity more so.

The point you seem to have missed is, at the end of the day, pretty or no, she’s wack. Got no lyrics. No bars. Motherfuckers like you think you can be cute and just show up and the world is supposed to support you.

“Would a black woman who wanted to rap have been told to do pop instead?”

I feel bad that OBJ was dragged into all of Lena Dunham’s unnecessary drama. He really seems like a sweet dude who just wants to live his life and enjoy his Instagram.

Ya know, there are times I just wonder what the fuck is the point of humanity. I am a dad, I cant even think of this with out tearing up.

CHRIST, are they also asking what the little was wearing to provote this?

I am officially lost for words here. Just gonna go stare at a wall for a while while my brain tries to reboot.
