Russell Simmons: Romney-Ryan Will 'Destroy Our People'

Following the announcement of the Romney-Ryan ticket, black music mogul, Russell Simmons tweeted that Romney-Ryan will "destroy our people".   This from a guy who's probably done more damage to the black community than anyone else.   He's the co-founder of Def Jam records.  A recording company that clearly promotes so-called "artists" that continually refer to women as "hoes" and "bitches".  "Brothers" are endearingly referred to as the "N" word; in the plural when referring to all blacks.  And, Def Jam is a cozy home to Gangsta Rap.  Here's what Wikipedia says about that form of "artistic" expression:

"The subject matter inherent in gangsta rap has caused a great deal of controversy. Criticism has come from both left wing and right wing commentators, and religious leaders, who have accused the genre of promoting crime, violence, profanity, sex, homophobia, racism, promiscuity, misogyny, rape, street gangs, drive-by shootings, vandalism, thievery, drug dealing, alcohol abuse, substance abuse and materialism."

In effect, Simmons has made his millions off the destruction of the moral fiber of his black community.

But, more than that, Simmons is just stupid to imply that, somehow, Romney-Ryan would be bad for the black community.  I say stupid because he apparently doesn't understand how poor and low income blacks have suffered under Obama.  All that spending has cheapened the dollar; making things like food, gasoline, energy, and clothing more expensive.   Do you think a doubling of gasoline prices hurts the rich?  Romney-Ryan would strengthen the dollar.  Prices would come down.  Retail sales would increase and jobs would be created.  Obama has done the opposite.
