I am watching Carlos's link. The way Cos acts with Theo at 1:20 or so is how I imagine he plays with unconscious women's boobies. That weird stuff with the hands coupled with an idiot face.

Azaglia 's a c nt for being so free with faggot.

She's also a c nt for being so free with c nt.

She's just a useless provocateuse who's pulled the wool over the eyes of some of the "faggots" she despises most.

She's such a pig, making fun of illiteracy or somebody having his GED. I once hired somebody who "only" had his GED and while working for me he went to community college, transferred to a 4 year, got his bachelors and then completed his master's. So, eff you, c ntalia spanks.

That sounds like the story of Dr. William H. Cosby Jr. Ed.D.

Even a stopped bigoted clock can be right a few times in its lifetime. Yes, "the other F word" didn't always mean homosexuals, nor will it necessarily ALWAYS refer to them. But It's still a nasty word used primarily by nasty people for nasty sentiments.

She has a point that "faggot" is a cyclical word, and it always refers to the punching bag of society, whoever the lowest and most accepted target in society was. False etymology about burning homosexuals aside, the phrase is short for "faggot carrier" as in "only fit to be a faggot-carrier." Selling kindling was a job so menial and thankless that the village idiot could do it. "Faggot-carrier" and then just the now-popular "faggot" or "fag" were later abbreviations that lost the "useless imbecile" connotations and just became "the worst kind of person." First it was the handicapped, then it was the poorest of the poor, then it was widows and old maids, then became homosexuals. It all depended on who mainstream society hated the most.

No, actually, she hasn't.

I am so tired of hearing from anyone whether it be Uhzeelyea Banks or Louis CK about what faggot does or doesn't mean. I'm 40 years old and I've had faggot lobbed at my since I was about seven, and I ALWAYS knew what it meant (and what the people calling me it meant). People who use it know that, too.

Hate never changes. I'd even venture to say, fatalistic as it may be, that hate never CAN change. All that changes is who gets the hate.

People claim to be enlightened and progressive, then they just pick up the targets they took down and pin them on some other group. It's usually the same people doing the hating, though. THAT rarely changes.

So will Azealia ever stop hating gay men?

[darquegk]

Posted: 12/21/14 at 7:06pm

Nope. If she doesn't even realize in her simple way that she DOES hate them, she probably never will.

Ideologies can be proven wrong. Ingrown, casual and thoughtless prejudice must be exploded.

Azealia Banks should leave the schooling to Q-Tip who tweeted this to Iggy Azalea over a an epic series of 40 tweets.

"HipHop is a artistic and socio-political movement/culture that sprang from the disparate ghettos of NY in the early 70's Coming off the heels of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT and approaching the end of the Vietnam war it was a crossroads 4 America specially for blacks in the US our neighborhoods were PROLIFERATED w/a rush of HEROINE."

"Our school systems here in NY dungeon traps with light for learning… blk men some of whom didn't return from tours of duty n the ones who did came w/war baggage (agent orange, addiction, ect..)… these men had families but due to these events and throw into the mix the public emasculation… they proved to be handicapped parents. The surrogate parents? The STREETS… the streets of gangs, crimes, and the hustlers coddled us and swept us up."

"But! Being a spirited, rhythmic & expressive people music art dance outlined our existence… it proved a way for us to exhault to scream to dance to laugh and find OUR VOICE… we weren't at the time skilled musicians as kids. We had records, turntables, ideas and INGENUITY being natural chemist we took from whatever was availed to us and we created something mighty and special."

"We cut breakbeats back n forth we took a hybrid of Jamaican toasting along w/ radio jock rap( hank Spann, Gary Byrd, ect.) and we put our rap down.. it was a neighborhood thing really. Black and Latino Kids were carving out their space and it became infectious… eventually Keith Cowboy coined the phrase hiphop . Yrs later the first rap record was recorded and now we r moving."

"But during these strides this country still had the monster of racism and racial insensitivity breathing and ruling… believe it or not young black n Latino lives specifically weren't acknowledged in mainstream American culture unless Of course.. the convo was abt gangs , being criminals or uneducated. And hey! Like I stated early our families were rushed our schools sucked and we were left to put devices to survive… but HIPHOP showed that we had DEPTH, fire, and BRILLANCE… the music was undeniable! It moved from NY N became national and even GLOBAL."

Hiphop now was FOR EVERYBODY!! All of those who cld relate to the roots, the spirit, the history, the energy.. It reached YOU… it touched your spirit n took u up. We magnetized you! That's what BRILLANCE does… now u are fulfilling your dreams … BUT! you have to take into account the HISTORY as you move underneath the banner of hiphop. As I said before… hiphop is fun it's vile it's dance it's traditional it's light hearted but 1 thing it can never detach itself from is being a SOCIO-Political movement."

"U may ask why … Well once you are born black your existence I believe is joined with socio-political epitaph and philos based on the tangled and treacherous history SLAVERY alone this is the case it never leaves our conversation… Ever. WeAther in our universities our dinner tables our studios or jail cells… the effects still resononates with us. It hurts… We get emotional and angry and melancholy… did u know president Clinton was the ONLY PRESIDENT to apologize for it? did u know that remnants of slavery exist today thru white privilege? When certain "niceties" r extended your way because of how u look? Isn't that crazy?"

"I say this 2 say u are a hiphop artist who has the right 2 express herself however she wishes… this is not a chastisement this is not admonishment at ALL this is just one artist reaching to another hoping to spark insight into the field you r in. I say this in the spirit of a hopeful healthy dialogue that maybe one day we can continue… I've been on twitter a long time and this will probably be my last series of tweets pretty much but I'm Kool with it as long as I got to share this w u. Zzzzzzz's up! Peace!"
