Maybe Black Women Should Be Pit Bulls in Our Next Life ---The Hypocrisy of Russell Simmons and Rev. Al

"The recent media spotlight on dog-fighting reminds us of society's callous disregard for the suffering of animals and disrespect for sentient beings...Every animal has the right to live without fear and pain. It is our job to do whatever we can to ensure this basic right for all animals, and we intend to do just that! Let's give law enforcement and animal welfare professionals, who are on the front lines of battling violence and cruelty in every form, our active support in their quest to elevate our society..Hurting animals for human pleasure or gain is despicable. Cruelty is just plain wrong. "
Russell Simmons and Rev. Al Sharpton on Michael Vick's dogfighting foolishness.

The full letter is located here. Everywhere you see the word "animal" replace it with "black woman in Florida"

Now wait just a dayum minute. Is that Russell Simmons, the Dean of the Russell Simmon's School of Obfuscation and Redirection? Russey " Palpatine" Simmons that won't life a pinky finger or move a vocal cord to speak out against those in the Hip Hop Industrial Complex who hate and despise Black women? Just. Just. Just. Just. (Gina walks away from the computer)

I'm still waiting on Rev Al and Jesse to issue statements about the Dunbar Village gang rape, one of the most heinous crimes committed against Black women in this country in recent memory. Russey have you sent in your check to the victim's assistance fund for this poor woman and her child? Oh you don't have the address? Here it is AGAIN.

Folks tomorrow when Rev. Al has his National Day of Outrage, we will be having a "National Day of SHAME!" To honor the moral inconsistency of our "leaders" and the Black Elite Establishment. We tripping over ourselves to speak about dogs, but breathtakingly silent about this horrific act of violence against a Black woman and her child.

You know what PETA, I agree with you "hurting animals for human pleasure or gain is despicable. Cruelty is just plain wrong." SO when can we expect PETA's donation to the victim's assistance fund? When can I expect a statement form you encouraging the residents of Dunbar Village to start assisting law enforcement with catching the remaining rapists?

Checks can be made payable to the Dunbar Village Victim Assistance Fund-St. Ann. They can be dropped off at any Wachovia branch or mailed to: St. Ann Catholic Church, 310 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The church’s phone number is (561) 832-3757. (SOURCE)

This is so right, when I bring this up in conversation with others its either glossed over or just plain ignored. A lot of people claim to have not heard it, or try to sweep it under the rug. Clearly now that I think of it I need new friends.

Sidebar: We need an all night church shut-in and do some serious spiritual warfare. We need to go old school on these demons. We need to add fasting because some demons only come out through fasting and praying.

first i DO apologize for this very late comment =)...anywho i TOTALLY feel you gina...for B.S like this you just have to walk away!!!!...w/ "black leaders" support things like this verse MORE IMPORTANT things...soon (as many already have) people get tired of hearing them talk about B.S!!!!!! i totally agree attorney mom --not only church-- but spirituality as a whole needs to be the center of our lives...i think as a community we've gotten away from that & that is the main cause of our confusion, heartache, etc. etc....we've turned our back on what has keep us for soooo many years through soooo many things!!!
"we need to go OLD SCHOOL on these demons" HILARIOUS =) & oh so TRUE!!
peace.....

Russell Simmons and the rest of the men that hold leadership positions in the black community have no issue with black men impregnating tons of woman, not supporting any of their random children, and only point fingers and ridicule people like Billy Cosby and Barack Obama for being stand up guys and voices of reason.
