You know when you learn the rapping part in a song and you low key feel Like you can rap? I feel like that’s what happened to iggy and she really fooled herself into thinking she can.

Do not forget Michael Brown

Do not forget how the media dehumanized him and tried to justify his murder

Do not forget how peaceful protests were painted as savage riots

Do not forget police armed with military grade weapons terrorized and arrested black civilians

Do not forget Darren Wilson being awarded over $400,000 in fundraiser donations for murdering an unarmed black child

Do not forget that this system was not built to defend us, but to control us

Do not forget Ferguson

M.I.A. is a non black female rap artist and I think no one ever felt offended by the fact that she uses this art form because she stays true to herself and doesn’t represent a mockery of rap culture like igoo azolzole

"But didn’t he rob a store?" I mean the cashier at the store didn’t think it was him but yeah I forgot that the penalty for stealing is public execution without a trial or any kind of due process that seems like a logical leap to me too stealing = death penalty no no you’re totally right totally omg thank you for pointing that out thanks

Very important

And this is the importance of representation, especially for young children.

Stop using "thug"

Every time you uses it, it’s in reference to a black person.

Every time you use it, you reenforce beliefs about black people.

Every time you use it, it becomes more and more of a slur, designed to oppress black people and “put them in their place.”

Look to the media, dehumanizing black men and children with it. It’s never positive out of a white person’s mouth.

It’s become the new n-word. Don’t use it.

Pro tip: Just because you don’t find something racist and offensive does not mean it’s not racist and offensive.
