In other WTH did he say moments

Russell Simmons talks out of the side of his left orifice

When ppl look for what or who a jiggaboo/coon is this right here exemplifies it in my mind to the fullest. Of course one could argue that Russell is simply a capitalist siding with his business in order to continue to expand his profits. Though his business acumen as a one time record label exec and business man can be admired and some of his methods appropriated when really do we as people owe up to our individual responsibilities to other human beings? Esp those of the same color?

Ridiculous and infuriating I know. Russell sounds MAD ignorant talking about something that he either doesn't know about or is taking the side of the oppressor. It is clear that the blood diamond issue in Africa is REAL and is ONGOING.

It is stuff like this that is aggravating and hurtful as an African, as a black man who knows and has seen images of his ppl suffering because of the greed of others - some our own ppl, which in this case is Russell Simmons.

Screw Russell.
