It's Time To Start Ignoring Azealia Banks

Last Sunday night, Azealia Banks addressed the growing LGBTQ backlash against her for her frequent use of gay slurs. Unfortunately, it wasn’t an act of contrition:

All I had to do was say one word and I moved a whole community. What weaklings!!! ?

If I am to be a part of an LGBT community I want to be in it with people who aren’t so weak or so easily moved ya know. — AZEALIABANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) September 28, 2015

Because all the time spent being mad at word could’ve been used to help people who really need the help! — AZEALIABANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) September 28, 2015

I’m not a weak bitch, being called a dyke or a nigger does absolutely nothing to move me.

So yes! You CAN call me a nigger and I won’t get mad! …. I’d be like “That’s all you got???” ?????

You boys gotta toughen up!!! Don’t be so weak !!! If one word can put your entire community in distress you’re DOOMED. LOL — AZEALIABANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) September 28, 2015

Words are not tangible things. You all CHOSE to get upset. Remember… Offense is only TAKEN, it is never given. ? — AZEALIABANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) September 28, 2015

Hope you enjoyed that, because this is the last time Unicorn Booty will ever mention Azealia Banks. She’s done this multiple times: As soon as she stops getting attention lately, she’ll slip into gay bashing to gin up controversy. We’ve taken the bait before, but no longer. Instead, we’d rather focus on people who are actually trying to help the community, like Angel Haze or Lizzo.
