Russell Simmons’ Defense of Blood Diamonds Helps His Bottom Line
(The Loop 21) — Recently, Russell Simmons, hip hop mogul and generally a brilliant guy in all things related to business, tried to justify his new RushCard as being pro-black. Simmons could talk to the glue off wallpaper. But there is nothing he can say to justify his political stance and his holdings and investments in the diamond industry that kills and mutilates thousands of Africans yearly as they mine diamonds sometimes by force and sometimes for the equivalent of pennies. It is the most disgusting and vile of all the corporate and wealth-driven rapings of Africa, even more so than Nigeria’s oil mines.
