Erykah Badu under Fire for her comments about Hitler

Erykah Badu is under the microscope today after a recent interview with David Marchese published on Vulture.com. Many people like to take the most controversial statement in a interview and run with that for the attention it will receive. Internet people like to call that "click bait". I personally hate being a victim of click bait because if i'm clicking on a link that means I want to learn more. I want to get more of an understanding of the topic at hand. So, all this morning i've seen that "Erykah Badu sees something good in Hitler" as a trending topic. And, of course the internet reacts! The negative comments come rolling in. But, I said to myself let me do more research and understand the conversation as much as I can.

I found the interview and read it for myself. Which I recommend my readers to do the same: http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/erykah-badu-in-conversation.html

I've never met Erykah Badu but this interview has brought me closer to her as a person. I realized she views people just as they are. I've come to find that I do the same. As people, we are just humans on this earth. Trying to figure out so many unanswered questions. Many of us have good and bad within us. One thing I don't do is label a person based on just one action. Meaning, I don't call a person a bad person because they robbed a store. Yes, that is a horrible crime but I want to know why! Why did this "bad" person commit this act. After doing additional research I may find out that they just wanted money to buy drugs. Ok, NOW I can label that person as bad. But, I may find that the person felt like they had no other option and needed money to feed their family. Now, I can sympathize with the person because they were in a tight situation and made a wrong decision. Is that person wrong for wanting to feed their family?

Should John Q who was portrayed by Denzel Washington in the 2002 film "John Q" had gone to jail for holding a hospital up in order to get a heart transplant for his dying son? Is he a bad person? You guys tell me.

Anyway, after reading this interview in full Erykah Badu is a human being that loves to serve people. She mentions helping those on their death bed by helping in anyway she can. She runs on her own time as I learned by making the interview wait an hour and a half. I would personally felt some type of way but that's something I need to work on. But, can you be mad at someone that attempts to see good in others? Let me know....
