your wife sounds like a peach
your wife sounds like a peach
Are you serious? Have you actually read Azealia’s twitter rant history, most of which she’s gone back and deleted over the years? She uses her platform and privilege to either plug her lifestyle or spew violently hateful bile at whoever her target of the day is. She was not joking, she was ranting unchecked—and then…
It’s in extremely poor taste. You should tell your wife that most people don’t find it funny. Most people don’t joke about rape even in private. Anecdotalizing your wife’s humor as a way to validate Banks behavior only makes your wife look as bad as Banks does in this instance.
Your wife jokes that she wishes people she doesn’t agree with would get raped?...which makes it okay in this instance? So points to the asshole making rape ‘jokes’? Hmm.
Yes, she didn’t actually literally want these things to happen to Palin. No, it is not OK to say things like that even if you are “joking” or “venting”.
Me thinks your white guilt is preventing you from criticizing a black woman and blinding you from the obvious which was that Banks vitriol was genuine.
She was legitimately out-classed, out-reasoned, and shut down by Sarah Palin.
