Yesterday, Azealia Banks shared a series of tweets in order to open a discussion about race, feminism, and how the two have historically been intertwined.

“Having your blackness judged or worthiness determined by BLACK WOMEN based on how well you deal with respectability is annoying,” the Harlem rapper wrote, adding: “Those same girls are sitting at their desks with their blonde kinky Afro weaves struggling not to seem too black in front of their bosses.”

She then discussed her distaste for black women who identify as feminists, saying: “I’m also really tired of the trend of black women hopping on this feminist train. Like…for fucks sake…Feminism never supported black women. We fell for that shit in the early 1920s, helping white women gain the right to vote…Black women helped the “feminists” gain the right to vote and they turned around and shitted on us. Leaving us in the dark. With nothing. I don’t trust any woman who says she’s a feminist. No matter what colour she is.”

Banks then described herself as a “womanist”, citing Alice Walker’s 1979 short story “Coming Apart", which first used the term womanism to describe a social stance deeply rooted in the racial and gender oppression of black women. Twitter users were quick to point out that many women identify with being intersectional feminists, to which Banks replied, “I know who bell hooks is. I just like Alice Walker's womanism more.”

This isn’t the first time she has been vocal about her distain towards the priorities of white feminism. Earlier this year, the rapper started a dialogue with musician Ryn Weaver, who posted this armpit selfie on twitter. “I find that non-colored feminists cloud the feminist sphere with shit like free the nipple and hairy armpits,” Banks retorted. “Women everywhere are in much more dire situations than worrying about pussy hair or whether or not they can show a nipple on instagram.”
