Azealia Banks to Obama: ‘I Want a President Who Isn’t Afraid to Kill for What He Believes In’ [View all]

Azealia Banks is done with President Barack Obama not aligning himself with Black interests. The rapper posted a lengthy Instagram message in response to Obama’s message on the Baton Rouge, Louisiana shooting July 17. In a post made the same day, she lashed out at the leader of the free world for making gay marriage legal and issuing reparations for the Holocaust, but not lifting “a single finger” for the Black community.
“You sat in the White House and let your people die in the streets and didn’t do a god—- thing about it,” she wrote.
On Sunday morning, Atlanta Black Star reported via Twitter that a gunman was involved in a shootout with Baton Rouge police, killing three officers. In a statement, Obama called the act unjustifiable.
