Azealia Banks goes on Twitter rant, calling for $100 trillion in reparations
The hip hop star says African Americans are owed 'major bucks' by JP Morgan, Chase and American families. She incites violence against descendants of the DeWolf family: 'They should all have their houses burned and their finances seized.'
Azealia Banks says major corporations made bank off slave labor.
And now she wants them to pay it back.
The hip hop star published a series of accusatory tweets on Friday, arguing that major corporations owe African Americans major bucks - up to $100 trillion - after profiting from slavery in the 18th century.
ITS MY MONEY, AND I WANT IT NOWWWWW!!!!!! Banks tweeted on Friday afternoon, after linking to stories from various newspapers describing the ways in which American Indians and Holocaust survivors have sought reparations from the American and German governments, respectively.

azealia never planted or raised nuffins!
All lower case
Including my great-great-grandfather, on my mother's side.
Any reparations should be paid to descendants of union soldiers for their sacrifice to end slavery.
I want my money! Azealia, you owe me! My great-great-grandpappy died to set your folks free!
They’d blow through the money in a month.
He has the funniest danged vines!!

You’ll have to come and get it, honey.
I’ll be ready when you come.
I just looked her up. She “is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Raised in Harlem, New York, Banks pursued an interest in musical theatre at a young age, studying at the LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts before dropping out to focus on her musical career...
...Banks came to prominence by topping NME’s Cool List in 2011 and finishing third in the Sound of 2012. Her debut single “212”, first extended play 1991 (2012), and first mixtape Fantasea (2012) received critical acclaim. Banks’ debut studio album Broke with Expensive Taste (2014) experienced several delays since its initial announcement before being unexpectedly released to online music stores.”

Hideous noise. I’ll be damned if there is any reason for anyone to listen to her on any subject.
OMG.
Who?
Geez, not this crap again.........
Any slaves still alive from 1865? Didn’t think so.
We need to pay reparations to people like Trayvon and Michael Brown, why??? Someone explain this to me........
If this rioting, looting, and killing of cops continues, then I will have to sue these race baiters and their protestors for ‘emotional distress’.
There were never more than about 8 million slaves at any one time, and only about 20 million total, over three centuries. There is no way all their labor, added up, comes to anything like $100 trillion. Probably not 1% of that.
IIRC, Thomas Sowell estimated that the slaves consumed 90% of what they produced. They had no incentive to produce anything more.
The REAL crimes against black in the country are: 1) the systematic destruction of their families; 2) the systematic, targeted abortion of tens of millions of black babies.
The party of slavery, segregation, government schooling, destruction of the family, and abortion wants blacks to think about anything other than the real racism: the racism of the Democrat party.
i’m for stripping their citizenship and shipping them back to their so-awesome motherland continent. can’t ever come back.
truth is the ones that came over here were the losers of tribal wars. or were already slaves of other blacks, or arabs.
We can pay them in Zimbabwe dollars. That comes to . . . . What? . . . . Oooh about 3 dollars and eighty cents a piece.
this is what listening to 20 years of violent angry music, and racist pc-bs does to someone.
Who is Azealia Banks and why should I care what she thinks?
“Do blacks realize Democrats push idiots like this to keep the esteem of the black community low”

“Large-scale representative surveys of 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students in the United States show high self-esteem scores for all groups. African-American students score highest, Whites score slightly higher than Hispanics, and Asian Americans score lowest.”
Its problem is low average IQ, excessive self-regard and anti-social tendencies, much of which is genetically-transmitted, combined with a separatist culture.
