Meh....she makes some great points, but to be honest she only cares about racism when it is affecting her profits and ability to grow as a star. Don't get me wrong I understand and agree with a lot of what she said. On the other hand the messenger herself is a nutcase. She's always starting some drama, and will rarely speak about racism unless it is affecting her/black women. Kanye West does the same at times. He talks about racism now mostly when it is affecting him. Don't get me wrong he does make great points but most of these black Hollywood folks mostly care about themselves.

Her beef with Iggy had more to do with jealousy. No I don't believe that she was jealous of Iggy being white, but more annoyed that Iggy became famous before her. Azelia Banks is not a class act and if she was given the chance to do the same exact songs that Iggy does she would be on board. That's part of why I gave Nicki the side eye for beefing with Iggy. Nicki represents all of the bad stereotypical images of black women yet she wants to speak about racism against black women? She sexualizes herself all the time, but then makes a song about nikkas looking at her?

At 35 minutes she's start getting into black American culture and how it is easily co-opted by white mainstream society...it amazes me the emotion and the self awareness she has about black American culure. And the irony of the radio heads not being African americans but mainly white/latinos.
Just like she is easily "co-opted" by white men.
