Azealia Banks Is ‘Very, Very Optimistic’ About Donald Trump

Plus, she has a warning for Black women.

Azealia Banks has been paying attention to this weekend's ongoing coverage of the countless women's marches that were organized throughout the United States, and although she didn't participate herself, she has a warning message for those who did support.

Taking to ​her Instagram, the rapper brought up a valid point about being careful with "mainstream feminism," but following that brief woke moment, she goes on to explain why she's still excited that Donald Trump won the presidential election.

"Why do women fall for these white feminist tricks all the time?" she begins a series of four rants on the subject. "Now that some white dude has taken office who SIMPLY said something silly about grabbing a p***y they want to March in the streets under the guise of 'standing up for human freedoms' BUT WHERE THE F**K WHERE THEY WHEN BLACK FOLK WERE GETTING SHOT DOWN EVERY DAY LAST YEAR?? Why weren't they standing up for human freedoms then?"

While the rapper brings up a very important criticism pertaining to the problematic realities plaguing non-inclusive feminism, arguing that past protest movements such as #BlackLivesMatter did not receive as much support from white people as this weekend's marches did, she almost voids her points by continuing to support Trump, even recently stating she wishes she could have performed at his inauguration.

"Nothing has happened yet," she concludes. "I'm super duper intuitive and really think he'll do a great job. I'm very very optimistic."

She then goes on to post several other rants further elaborating on the grievances she has with feminism in general, such as asking if "intersectional feminism" even exists and explaining that she feels our country is "having one big anxiety attack."
