Last night, as hundreds of New Yorkers took to the streets to protest the Staten Island grand jury's decision not to indict an NYPD officer for his role in Eric Garner's death, Azealia Banks went on Twitter to call out white artists who appropriate black culture but fall silent when civil rights issues are brought up. The "Chasing Times" rapper fired out a handful of tweets and then focused in on Iggy Azalea or "Igloo Australia" for her silence on "black issues" following the events of the past month.

its funny to see people Like Igloo Australia silent when these things happen... Black Culture is cool, but black issues sure aren't huh?

— AZEALIA ⚓️ BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) December 4, 2014

You can be down without making a mockery.

Iggy responded, albeit less directly, shortly thereafter:

Theres more to sparking a change than trolling on social media. World issues shouldnt be used as a poor excuse to promote fan battles.

Make sure you do something to let YOUR government know how you feel when something is unjust., not JUST your followers on twitter...

— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 4, 2014

Make sure you sign petitions, hit the streets and protest or donate to groups helping to support and rebuild the community too.

Also try not to judge anothers support or 'lack there of' solely on if they have ranted on twitter about it, thats not right or helpful.

— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 4, 2014

The world is too hung up on what is or isnt said on twitter. theres an actual world out there and multiple ways you can promote change.

— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 4, 2014

Be mad but be productive, please! Night twitter kids. Peace be with you. xoxo
