So Erykah Badu is trending on Twitter and if I told you why it might just surprise you. Probably not but if you guessed it was because she said there was good in Hitler then you are correct! Yep! You read that one correctly. In her most recent interview with Vulture, she wants on how she has the innate ability to see the good in all people. She then goes on to use Adolf Hitler as an example and doubling down by saying that there was good in him. More specifically that he was a good painter.
So, yeah maybe she didn’t do too well in history, but I’m pretty sure it’s obvious Hitler did NOT have any good in him. Also in case, you didn’t know Hitler was a failed painter because he sucked! So you’re 0-2 Mrs. Badu. David Marchese was the interviewer, and he brought up an article from 2008 where Badu seemed to publically support Louis Farrakhan and Palestine. Farrakhan has been described as “as a notable figure on the extremist scene, verbally attacking Jews, white people, and the LGBT community.” In the 2008 interview, Badu swears Farrakhan isn’t an anti-Semite and that “he loves all people.” Marchese went on to ask Badu more about the comments regarding Farrakhan.
