Singer Erykah Badu took to her Twitter account early in the morning on Wednesday to share her very-candid views on the Minister Louis Farrakhan. Rather than taking aim at some of the divisive comments that the faith leader continues to utter, she labeled him a “Super Hero” and a “beautiful, brave being.”
“Louis Farakahn is a SuperHero. That’s A beautiful brave being,” she wrote (note: the minister’s name is “Farrakhan” not “Farakahn” as noted in her tweet; spelling and grammar kept in tact).
Clearly confounded by the message, Twitchy asked, “Since when are racism and anti-Semitism beautiful or brave?,” referring to the Nation of Islam leader’s seemingly contentious and fiery commentary about whites and Jews, among others.
In an effort to further highlight the curious nature of Badu’s pro-Farrakhan tweet, Twitchy also noted that, last year, the singer tweeted a message that the outlet believes the faith leader would patently reject.
In Aug. 2012, Badu tweeted, “‘Race’ should be taken off of EVERY form. We are all Americans.” To this, Twitchy responded, “Criticism of the race card is just the sort of thing that would send “superhero” Farrakhan into uncontrollable fits of rage.”
Later, following push-back on Twitter, Badu seemingly defended her praise of Farrakhan.
So, it seems Farrakhan has the support of a Grammy-Award winning singer, despite his intensely divisive and troubling language, which TheBlaze has extensively documented.
A skank praising trash! Hardly news.
More mindless garbage from the music industry which it seems can rarely produce a good voice but sure can mask one with skin, flashing lights, loud percussion and the most vile of instruments a screaming electric guitar.
No wonder they are usually high on drugs or booze as that is the only way they could tolerate each other.
As to FairyCon, my only regret is when he dies his body will contaminate the earth with his islamic filth.

Why does she have a poodle on her head? Does PETA know about this?
Famous??? I never heard of her!
Should be called the 'poverty pimp card' - not the race card... Lots of good black people slimed by heavy-handed poverty pimp tactics....
Sorry for the double posts but I am getting numerous Server Errors when I post or click on stories but only on the FR.
Seems when I go back and hit the post button that first post had actually gone through.
Never heard of her.
