^I don't see where the part of the article I posted isn't addressing the race issue, since it says:
the sexism entrenched in the capitalist process in which black women fare significantly worse than white women.

Furthermore wether I nor the article I linked to ever said you shouldn't address racism when you see it or that Iggy isn't guilty of being racist. And to quote the article once again:
None of this absolves Iggy from the money she is making off her notoriety, nor is it to suggest that we shouldn’t be calling racism when we see it, but simply to argue that Azalea is an effect of a messed up world, not the cause.

It's great that people openly spoke out that Iggy is being racist with her comments and behaviour, but like I said people were acting as if she invented racism calling her things which sadly takes every credibility of the actual valid and important criticism. It's nice that a lot of people can identify racism when it's so obvious like in Iggy's case, but calling her (sexist) names without questioning the system behind her won't change anything. On the contrary, now people can blame a dump young woman for all the evil in the world and call her a slut or whatever but still keeping the status quo.
Just fighting Iggy without addressing the general sexism in the industry from which all the big names take profit from won't change anything. And I think the article demonstrated that pretty well with the example of TI and Iggy. Most of the time not even black men in the industry respect black women. I mean see Nicki Minaj. The woman really has talent but gets slut shamed all the time out of her own scene for things other big male artists let women do in their videos all the time. Not to mention that Nicki Minaj despite all her talent has to play the typical cliché role of how people expect black women to be. And how many women in general are big hip hop/rap artists? There are maybe 3 or 4 that are considered relevant within the scene. There is so much racism and sexism in the industry that by just talking about Iggy won't take us anywhere.
I never meant to say that you don't see the context and maybe I was just not clear enough: no one here in this thread said that there isn't a bigger context but the internet went nuts over Iggy for weeks without just once questioning the status quo and whenever the debate comes up again I'm just like "what about not only shaming Iggy but the whole system behind her and therefore actually changing something?".
But well that would mean that all white people who shamed Iggy would need to question their own behaviour and that all the black male rappers who shamed Iggy would need to do the same. I don't think anyone really wants this, it's much more easier to blame a single woman, who like we all know isn't very clever and even proud of it, for weeks.
