Azealia Banks is ready to end her music career to take on a new mission tracking down the descendants of slave traders and making them pay reparations.
The 23-year-old rapper revealed her new passion after posting an article about the DeWolf family, who traded slaves from 1769 through 1820.
I wonder where the descendants of the DeWolf family are today. they should all have their houses burned and their finances seized, Azealia tweeted. This generation of young black kids needs to make a CONCERTED effort to seek out living descendants of major slave trading families. They Owe us Money.(continued)

Most privateers and pyrates got hung, died from gunshot, or a bad liquor.
They all had short lives and not many off spring “of which to speak”.

first, who the heck is this person?
second, know some individuals who won money from the black farmers case and moneys already gone. same thing will happen among these reperations advocates.
third, can whites sue for reperations too? according to history whites were slaves in America too.

Pay Reparations and the Whites would get all the money back within a few months.

She could start with a guy named Obama. His ancestors were slave traders, I have heard.

Wonder if she’ll start with the several thousand black American slave owners first. Then the african and arab slave traders.

A fools errand. Who’s going to foot the bill? Not her I’m sure. More government, more taxes? Nothing in return except more gibs me dat for the protected classes.
Give them a DNA test and send them back to Europe or Africa along with airfare depending on their percentage of each. Then they will appreciate the opportunities they had in America.

Azealia Banks Wants to Track Down Descendants of Slave Traders, Make Them Pay Reparations May we assume the payments will go to the descendants of Civil War Union veterans who gave their lives and limbs to win the war that ultimately resulted in the slaves being freed?

Azealia Amanda Banks (/əˈziːliə/ born May 31, 1991) 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. In late 2008, she adopted the pseudonym "Miss Bank$", and began releasing music through MySpace, eventually being signed to XL Recordings at age 17.[2] After signing a recording contract with Interscope and Polydor Records, 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.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azealia_Banks

Were the Walton’s involved in the slave trade back when? She might be setting up an national looting program?

It would be ironic if Azealia found out some of her Black ancestors were slave owners and she owed reparations.

Sorry, Azealia, but I am not responsible for what my ancestors did. With the Emancipation Proclamation and the 40-acres and a mule, the former slaves got more that most of us ever got.

40% of y’all are on welfare.
How much better can it get?
You want us to limousine your cars with dingle berries, smoked out windows and bean bag chairs?

Pushing for reparations might sound good, but if you come to my house looking for them I will pay in gold. Remington Golden Saber and Speer Gold Dot, in 230 grain packages.
