This goes to show you how disillusioned these so-called self-appointed black leaders are. Bill O'Reilly! has a better grasp at what is happening in the Afican American community. How can Russell Simmons represent the black voice when his head is buried deep in the dark crevasses of the liberal political agenda, that he cannot see what really affects his community?Is Russell Simmons really that ignorant of the facts that haunt the very communities that he claims to represent? Simmons wants to ignore the epidemic of violence and crime in the black neighborhoods and wants to focus on, RACIAL PROFILING, and the racist criminal-justice system.Mr. Simmons forget about the fact that, blacks are responsible for an astoundingly disproportionate number of crimes. According to the Washington Times, black arrest rate for most offenses, — including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes — is still typically two to three times their representation in the population.Black unemployment is double the real national average. Black teens use abortion as a form of contraception and 54 percent of African Americans do not have an education past high school. These are just some of the issues that are affecting the black communities.Russell Simmons needs to stop using racial animus and “the system,” as an excuse. He should take Mr. O'Reilly's advice and actually visit some of the black neighborhoods he claims to represent. Maybe then he will understand what is really happening in our communities and what's destroying our culture.http://www.mediaite.com/tv/oreilly-russell-simmons-clash-on-black-crime-you-are-so-desperately-wrong/
