Well, yes. But it’s also disheartening to hear you say that at a time, like now, when racism and anti-Semitism are so much in the air. Why would you want to risk putting fuel on that fire?
You asked me a question. I could’ve chosen not to answer. I don’t walk around thinking about Hitler or Louis Farrakhan. But I understand what you’re saying: “Why would you want to risk fueling hateful thinking?” I have a platform, and I would never want to hurt people. I would never do that. I would never even imagine doing that. I would never even want a group of white men who believe that the Confederate flag is worth saving to feel bad. That’s not how I operate.


I like how she operates. The interviwer could have chosen to end the interview right then and there however reading the entire thing instead of only focusing on one brief subject I can see how everyone could jump to conclusions. She perhaps could have thought ahead of time but she says whats on her mind immedialtley. Obviously she does not support them.


While a touchy subject, she is correct in saying that he was a good painter as i wanted to see for myself. A horrible disgusting human being he was, if we didnt know who made these paintings though as a stand alone subject, I have to admit...this is really good.

Who cares about his paintings? He was a shit stain. You need to read up on what those fools did to people. Inhuman. If someone were to say that the slave holder and jim crow era whites of the south in America were good statesmen and craftmen despite raping, burning and hanging people Eryka would be the first person screaming.

Ironically, I think she comes across as a decent and likeable person in this interview, even though I don't really share her general mystical outlook. Maybe it's a sign of our times, but it's somehow gratifying nonetheless just to see someone happy in their own skin and enjoying their life. I also rather respect the way she's clarified her comments with the same forbearance and no pretence. I also think that most readers will grasp the meaning of her ostensibly 'controversial' comments, and being beset by this latest manufactured controversy might ultimately work in her favour. Something new like New Amerykah Part One would be nice, once she's done 'uploading'.
