Okay So recently Kendrick said some really controversial things during an interview with Billboard Magazine. One being how people need to get off the back of one Iggy Azalea, known arch nemesis of Banks, and another being that black people need to learn to respect themselves more in light of recent events.
Well Banks didn’t take to kindly to either statement and had this to say.
"When we don't respect ourselves how can we expect them to respect us" dumbest shit I've ever heard a black man say.

There are things in society that benefit a select few of us. fine…. But don't put down the rest by saying they don't respect themselves

I really pray for the minds of the urban youth, I really do because I was once on the side of feeling like I wasn't owed anything…

Once on the side of feeling like black people ain't shit because that's what America and my social studies textbooks taught me

Becoming an adult and doing my own research has REALLY opened up my fucking eyes, and I get upset to know that…..

There are still young black kids in our public schools being indoctrinated with the same shit they pumped into my head.

And fuck all this shit about erasing racial barriers and getting along… Why does white America think blacks even wanna be here?!
