Russell Simmons Puts “N-Word” After Eating Animals, Planet, War
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 2nd, 2009 in Animal Issues, Environment-Eco-Green, Pop Culture.
Russell Simmons made a Tweet recently discussing the cultural use of the “N-word” among young African-Americans and those in hip hop culture.
“Honestly I’m more concerned about people eating animals or abusing the planet or sitting still for wars then the use of n word”
Russell’s stance on putting issues that affect everyone before any particular group is reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde’s statement that she didn’t give a falafel about feminism, only meat eaters and non meaters.
However, to make sure no one was offended, Russell followed up with this Tweet:
“I do not like to say hurtful things to people .some are offended by the n word for those who are I apologize”
Any thoughts?
