In an interview with Vulture, hip-hop singer Erykah Badu said something she probably should’ve just kept to herself. But leftists can’t help themselves.
“I’m a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler,” she said without the slightest hesitation.
Badu has been accused of being anti-Semitic as a follower of noted anti-Semite and Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan.
“I’m not an anti-Semitic person,” she added. “I (didn’t) even know what anti-Semitic was before I was called it.”
But it was finding a silver lining with Nazism that really set the interviewer’s teeth on edge.
“Come again?” she was asked.
Badu further stuffed her funk boots in her mouth: “Hitler was a wonderful painter.”
The interviewer wasn’t buying that either. So, Badu picked her next argument:
“Okay, he was a terrible painter. Poor thing. He had a terrible childhood. That means that when I’m looking at my daughter, Mars, I could imagine her being in someone else’s home and being treated so poorly, and what that could spawn. I see things like that. I guess it’s just the Pisces in me… I know I don’t have the most popular opinion sometimes.”
You don’t say!
“Why can't I say what I'm saying [about Hitler]?” she added. “Because he did such terrible things?"
Um, in a word, yes!
She followed the Hitler comment by throwing some “love” to accused rapist Bill Cosby:
"I love Bill Cosby, and I love what he’s done for the world. But if he’s sick, why would I be angry with him? The people who got hurt, I feel so bad for them. I want them to feel better, too. But sick people do evil things; hurt people hurt people."
Okay, that’s enough, Badu. Head on back to obscurity now, ya hear?
