Just days after a video surfaced featuring Azealia Banks calling a flight attendant a “faggot,” the 24-year-old rapper took to Instagram and claimed she’d like to physically assault gay people.
A comment from Instagram user @a_sanctuary_found inspired her rant: “Imagine the pain young gay fans feel when they hear the vile things you say @azealiabanks,” he wrote.
The ever-charming Banks responded: ““@a_sanctuary_found oh well imagine how I wanna spray a gay man in the face with pepper spray everytime he calls me a bitch a slut or a hoe. Kiss my ass. Goodnight”
The commenter responded: ““@azealiabanks if the shoe fits… omg what an evil thing to say??”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Azealia fired back: ““Keep f–king with me if you f–king want to. One day your hemmroids (sic) are going to burst and you’ll bleed to death bitch.

Her publicist would have responded, but apparently she’s a nobody and doesn’t have one, doesn’t have an assistant, and can’t afford to have one of the airport folks carry her luggage for her.
So in other words, just some basic broke woman who once got a song played on the radio?

The worst thing is that her frustrations about how women and black folks are treated and thought about (including by gay men) are real–she just deals with them so stupidly. She searches the Internet for her own name and waits for someone to be an example of something that bothers her, then goes way overboard trying to win a shit-talking contest with them on Twitter, like that’s going to do anything but make her look like an asshole.

Male homosexuality threatens women because it means male power. Azealia Banks’ attitude to gay men may reflect this innate fear that women have of male homosexuality.
Male homosexuality might seem cute and cuddly to women when it consists of gay men who segregate themselves away into their gay scenes. However, when male homosexuality becomes mainstream – ie when homosexuality exists in men who are also attracted to women – it becomes a threat to her ability to control men.

Black men are known to be swingers – ie they swing both ways. In fact, almost all men are capable of swinging both ways. Black women are terrified of their men turning to other men.
If you scratch the surface of a black woman, you will find a lot of homophobia directed towards male homosexuality. It’s a really dramatic, innate fear.

Well, she sounds like another Obama supporter to me when she told Billboard magazine earlier this year, “Oh my God, I want to fuck the president.”
Yes, she is a real charmer. In the April 2015 issue of Playboy she states, “I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these ra@cist conservative white people who live on their farms. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a r@cist grandma – that’s really America.”
Yep, sounds like a Democrat to me.

You sound like a typical republiturd to me… always using stupidity to justify your non-existent points.

groovinqueerly
First, when mud is slung your way and you reply in kind, you are no better. Telling a 24 year old person to go kill themselves is hardly enlightened or mature. Not defending her words or her behavior (how do you defend the inexcusable?), but she has a point when my fellow gay brothers use words like ‘B’ or ‘S’ when speaking to women (cis, trans, or presenting). Further, gay men are guilty of appropriating black women’s lives by saying crap like ‘I identify as a strong black woman!’ when they are Whiter than a lily.
To a commenter that said she has ‘literally’ never said anything of import, Sweetie, see exhibit A (I hope the link works?):https://youtu.be/uFDS-VEEl6w

@money718: I hope you are being sarcastic. If you aren’t, you are just as stupid as I thought you were. Dumb troll.
Brian
I don’t want to make fun of Azealia’s appearance. It’s not an issue. It’s her ugly words which concern me. They seem to be derived from an innate fear of male homosexuality. Maybe she fears the power of male homosexuality.
Women always feel threatened by male homosexuality if it can be used as an option to reject women. The “turning away” from women has always loomed large in women’s minds, and is responsible for much of homophobic law-making through the past centuries.
Men made the anti-gay laws, but it was their wives who encouraged them to do so.
Giancarlo85
@Brian: You are delusional. Men make antigay laws because they are the ones that hate us. Time and time again, women vote for pro equality candidates.
Come on Smeds, you can come up with a better argument than this overused pile of bullshit. It is getting old and boring. You must have a serious fear of women. Women in power must make you shit your pants, smeds.

I don’t know why the media is giving her so much attention. She’s got no respect or concern for anyone but herself, she’s made a career out of being unapologetically rude, and she has, quite literally, no talent other than offending people and looking like a slut. THIS is the only way she stays in the limelight….by media repeating her nasty comments. Can we please stop giving her the time of day????????

groovinqueerly
@Giancarlo85: I think I did a great job at overgeneralizing gay men, thank you very much! I don’t see where in my comment I defended her use of derisive language. I do see where I pointed out that she ACTUALLY had something relevant to say regarding marketing practices in regards to femcee’s and the whitewashing of black music. Two items of discourse that no one can deny occurred yesterday, occurs today, and will occur tomorrow. This is true because we exist in a capitalist culture that seeks to silence artists that ‘go against the grain’ and reward those that ‘play the game’.
Her use of ‘faggot’ isn’t excusable. When another gay man uses it when speaking to me, I may bat an eye, but NBD. When someone other than a gay man uses the term when speaking to me, then I take issue with them and address it then and there.
What I was hoping to contextualize were a few things: a) she’s 24 and in the age where this crude behavior is expected, but typically never condoned; b) wishing her, or anyone for that matter, death because she said something offensive is also never excusable; and c) yes! I do see and hear other gay men (and I am guilty of it myself) describe themselves as ‘strong, black women’ and using lexicon native to black women (I suppose its because both groups have been marginalized and have faced similar challenges in portrayed in a positive manner) having never LIVED THEIR EXPERIENCE, and worse, never deepening our understanding of their experiences, and misinterpreting their culture (you know, how it happens with ‘us’).
Now, Giancarlo85, please explain to me where I defended her? Unless I have an erroneous definition of ‘contextualizing’, I never defended her base behavior. But, for the sake of full transparency, I really dig her ‘Broke with Expensive Taste’ album and I dig her videos. I just don’t dig how she gets represented, through her doing or otherwise.
Like a friend of mine says to me in Spanish: ‘agarra lo bueno y deja lo malo’. Hmmm, I wonder if I was clear this time or refutted myself along the way? Peanut gallery, do chime in.
groovinqueerly
@Giancarlo85: And, oh yes, I do use the term in question when another gay men is being one of two things: being irritating or we’ve been friends for a long time and we feel comfortable with the use of the term between us.
Also, in my haste, I failed to see that I didn’t correct ‘in portrayed in a positive manner’ to ‘in positive representation’. I’d make a terrible pundit.
Giancarlo85
@groovinqueerly: What the heck is this pile of shit I have to read? You want a peanut gallery… then look at what you’re saying.
This isn’t just about her use of the word “faggot”. She compared us to the KKK and said she wanted to commit a violent against gay people. She has serious fucking problems and that basically discredits anything else she has said.
“yes! I do see and hear other gay men (and I am guilty of it myself) describe themselves as ‘strong, black women’ and using lexicon native to black women”
I don’t give a flying fuck what you see. That is your own personal perspective and has nothing to do with reality.
“I just don’t dig how she gets represented, through her doing or otherwise. ”
Then take that up with her. It was her own doing!
groovinqueerly
Had no idea about the KKK accusation you refer to (in fact, the article we’re commenting on fails to mention it) – news to me. But, kudos to you! for citing things I typed. With that, I’m done with and over this storyline.
PS: don’t like what I say, then don’t read it or better yet, ignore it. Don’t want to subject yourself to ‘shit’, then again, ignore it. Really, it is that simple. But, when you mention people, you can’t expect them not to respond. Your qualifiers of their responses are your own personal perspective
PSS: Banks isn’t the only one working with ‘serious’ problems. Pot, say ‘hello’ to Kettle.
