Rapper and singer Azealia Banks took to her own Twitter feed and asked that very question regarding her beef with T.I. Now admittedly she did get that beef popping.
Banks makes a
valid point and so did someone on Twitter who pointed out that Beyoncé, Nicki
Minaj, and Rihanna get called all kinds of names and get all kinds of
disrespected and they just throw shade in their own way and keep it moving, because
if they don’t then no one else will.
But Iggy had
to be saved. Like T.I. had to put on the cape and come get her. Well once her
boyfriend Nick Young couldn’t do the job. But it’s bigger than that, it’s about
how the mainstream media especially can regurgitate certain stereotypes and
paint the picture a certain way. Good on one side, evil on the other. This
person’s worthy and deserving of being angry about. The other, ehhhh not so
much. Now, Snoop was dead wrong. Point blank. Period. You shouldn’t go around
calling women b*tches and c*unts, unless I guess you put it on a rap song. But
I digress.
When a white
woman cries, the whole world stops. Ignore the fact that this is hip hop, that
talking trash, beefing, making diss records is what you’re supposed to do.
Someone steps to you. Then you come back harder. Maybe T.I. needs to give Iggy
some refresher courses since she wants all the perks of being a Black woman –
big booty, the voice, the “swag”. But then when things like this happen, it’s a
quick reminder that no, she is in fact a white woman because she gets to be
rescued.
Black women
on the other hand, we just have to fend for ourselves.
