The controversial 51-year-old singer took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that, despite being “terribly sorry,” she is “so racist.”
“I’m terribly sorry. What I’m about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it,” she wrote. “But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that’s what non-muslims are called). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting.”
O’Connor continued her tweet storm by blasting Twitter for censoring hate speech and inviting people to “spank my a** and call me Fruity loops” if they think she’s “crazy to care.
Many of O’Connor’s followers were shocked by the tweets, with one declaring, “Hope you get some serious psychological help.” The singer, who converted to Islam and now goes by Shuhada’ Davitt, is unlikely to see the responses, though. Her Twitter bio states, “Replies to my tweets will not be read. Nor can you post on my page if I’m not following you. This is due to Islamophobia.
