This wasn\u2019t received well and basically the war wages on.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Azealia is now embarking on a new project. The 23-year-old is determined to find the descendants of slave owners with the sole purpose of making them atone for the crimes that were committed in their name.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds quite ambitious and we would probably assume this was a joke if she hadn\u2019t tweeted her mission for all to see \u2013 \u201cI wonder where the descendants of the \u2018DeWolf\u2019 family are today. they should all have their houses burned and their finances seized\u201d. \u201cThis generation of young black kids needs to make a CONCERTED effort to seek out living descendants of major slave trading families. They OWE is Money\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm\u2026I think we can collectively agree that slavery was and still is a major black mark in American history \u2013 but pursuing the families of the ones who were guilty so many centuries ago may not be a rewarding or salvageable effort.<\/p>\n<p>But we still have to give props to Azealia for her renegade spirit \u2013 hopefully it will continue to serve her well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Azealia Banks is not ready to give up the fight when it comes to the ongoing debate she initiated [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,38,6],"tags":[1086,1906,1938,1935,1937,1936],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 -
