Azealia Banks Has a Shit Ton of Excuses (VIDEO)

Azealia Banks bleached her skin lighter. Banks is a racist and a homophobe and nearly impossible to like, but she was easy to admire in her laser-like focus of racial rage. Malcolm X was probably annoying as fuck on a car ride, but you had to respect how he stayed on point. Banks was so comfortable with her skin lightening decision that she recorded a twenty-two minute video filled with an array of rationalizations:

The oppressive patriarchal white culture forces this on black women
Skin lightening happens naturally when you clean your skin
Whiteness as a social construct is making everybody sick
It’s the companies selling cheap skin lightening to poor women that are horrible
White girls get fake asses
This is no different than a nose job
Other black celebrities have done it and nobody cared
In places where I don’t live dark skinned women have to bleach to be marriage material
If you think this makes me less black, that’s on you
This is all about a woman’s right to choose
Studies about black women lightening their skin are conducted by white scientists

Banks teases that her skin bleaching is to be explained in greater detail in a forthcoming essay. Nobody in the history of the world has ever been teased by a forthcoming essay. Does it include a picture of your tits and are they startlingly white? I could maybe go for an essay.

It’s unfortunate to see Banks sell-out. Not because of how she just shivved the kidney of racial progress, but because this world has about twenty public figures left who speak their mind freely. The uncensored speech of hateful annoying assholes provides the cultural avenue for the uncensored speech of slightly less hateful annoying assholes. If you haven’t purchased the Volvo yet, we can still walk this back. You’re still ten shades away from a Taylor Swift Fourth of July party invite.
