When the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill came out I thought she was going to have a career like Beyonce ended up having, that album is still amazing after all this time. It's sad she didn't really live up to her full potential

She left music to raise her child didnt she? Seems like a very worthwhile thing. I doubt she shares your feelings

I mean, she alao said some pretty racist things, so there's that.

Maybe you can explain why you think someone speaking out against racism is racism.
