Badu Capes For Cosby & Hitler

[Goldie]

And has twitter going crazy. She told a jewish journalist

On Cosby

​

One such situation is the case against Cosby, who has been embroiled in an ongoing sexual assault trial. Despite the allegations against him, Badu wouldn’t make any snap judgments against him.

“Because 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?” she mused. “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.”

Badu said she’d probably be “crucified” for her statements, but she didn’t back down from her stance, telling the publication she won’t get angry for anger’s sake.

“I’m not trying to rebel against what everybody’s saying, but maybe I want to measure it … The rush to get mad doesn’t make sense to me,” she said.

Not gonna kill her for this but she should have kept those opinions to herself knowing the overly sensitive world we live in today.

 

[JUDAH]

I get wgats shes saying and I understand the mindset it takes to have that kond of forgiveness for the actions of others. Kind of like if you've ever heard the saying "hate the sin not the sinner".

But there's some things I can forgive, but not forget. Like would you ever leave your child around a "reformed" child molester unsupervised? Nah...

She bout to get crucified.

Erykah Badu has never been one to hold back her opinions, and in her new interview with Vulture, she stays true to her word by explaining how she manages to empathize with even some of the most unsympathetic figures -- particularly Adolf Hitler.

"I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler," revealed Badu to interviewer David Marchese. Stunned by her remarks, Marchese asked Badu to elaborate on her answer, to which she responded: "Hitler was a wonderful painter."

Thing is people want to be absolute.

If someone is a bad person, people don't want anything to be good about them at all.

This. And the reality of life is there is nothing absolute

Word to Castro

 

[MzKB]

She has a right to her opinion and I see nothing wrong in her statement.

And I understand the backlash. It's hard to train the mind to see something good in a person that has done wrong.

Right/wrong or good/bad is subjective to each persons experiences.

Those are some good paintings.

What does she need to be forgiven for?

C/S. It's a flawed and illogical way of thinking.

And we already know this wont sit well with these white people that call themselves Jews.

 

[MzKB]

Not gonna kill her for this but she should have kept those opinions to herself knowing the overly sensitive world we live in today.

But that's what makes her Erykah Badu and that's what people claim they love about her, her ability and willingness to state unpopular opinion and stand by it.

So y’all saying Hitler was cool but bitching about former slave owners. I’m pretty sure Andrew Jackson did some good to but don’t matter. Fuck that guy.

No one said he was cool. She said she can see good in anyone.
