Beyonce's little sis, Solange Knowles, is heated! The singer is fed up with the antics of controversial vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, so she let 'er rip on Twitter last Friday.
Knowles, who seems to be more spirited and forthcoming with her opinions than her superstar sister, got peeved off when she read that Palin thought First Lady Michelle Obama was a racist.
The ultraconservative Tea Party mouthpiece, who is fiendishly at work promoting her new book 'America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag,' slammed the Obamas in her tome by referring to them as "unpatriotic" because they spent "almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church listening to his rants against America and white people."
Knowles, fed up with the ex-governor of Alaska's negative diarrhea-of-the-mouth attacks against the president and his wife, took out her political frustrations:
"I'm SICK of Republicans shenanigans," Knowles tweeted in response. "Sarah Palin wants to call Michelle a racist? Says that they listened to rants about white people in church & that makes them racist. So did that make her (Sarah Palin) a racist when people at HER rally were yelling out 'That n-----'? By listening to that & not stopping it? The sad and scary thing is that these fools are in office," Knowles continued. "And just how many Americans will fall for the 'okie doke.'"
When a ticked-off Twitter follower tried to put Knowles in her place by suggesting that she should not publicly tweet about her political views, the performer let the fan have it:
"Don't want me to talk about what I believe? Please. ...Exit door awaits you gladly. ...Done lost yo damn mind boy."
Knowles, the face of Rimmel London cosmetics and the indie queen of alternative music, is working on her third album.
