Russell Simmons

I’m at a loss for words..earlier today, rap mogul Russell Simmons who has been in a war of words with CNN Anchor Don Lemon for accusing Black folks of being their own worst enemies to systemic racism, has sent out this video.. Normally I wouldn’t give this the time of day, but when you’re a 50 + year old man who is deemed a success story many should aspire toward, then this can’t be left unchecked..

I sent Russell a quick note to see if his account was hacked.. It has to be.. I just can’t believe he would co-sign this.. especially after all the flack that erupted around Lil Wayne making disparaging sex laden remarks about Emmett Till and Jay Z calling Harry Belafonte ‘Boy’.. I’m at a loss and have come to the conclusion , there is a class of Black folks who have lots of resources but should be written off..  But below is a screen shot of his account with the video which hopefully he will remove pronto..If he doesn’t middle finger to Russell on that one.. To women out there, please note that there are many brothers who don’t co-sign this.. There are many who do not hate our sisters that we would joke about this.. Too many of our sisters were rape while enslaved…. There is No excuse for this….

And No Russell has not hit me back on this.. I’m hoping his account was hacked but the video says otherwise..
