A lot of people are not too familiar with the twitter sparring match I had with Russell Simmons back in March 2013. I did not realize that Twitchy did a post presenting the entire exchange, right down to my responses to some of his followers. Big up to twitchy for that. I went back and read through the tweets and I got to say I forgot a lot of it.
Russell Simmons is a little late to the pearl-clutching game.
But by Thursday he was sufficiently worked up about “some black guy with a Yankees hat” to publish a Global Grind post titled, “The NRA & Black People: Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!“
Our community is not interested in a corporate sponsored gun group telling us what to do, when their real mission is to make more money for the corporations that line their dirty pockets with rolls of cash and silver bullets. We’re much smarter than that and certainly can see through their motives. Until they show a real interest in solving the violence problem in our community, they can keep their Yankee hat-wearing spokesman and their African-American “campaigns” for themselves.
Like Touré, Simmons has appointed himself the voice of black America and is out to belittle any black American who won’t toe the lefty line. How progressive! Noir wasn’t about to let that go unchallenged.
