Hey Simmons - go make another beastie boys record and shut the f**k up.

Mr. Simmons is, unfortunately, influential in the Afro-American community, and simultaneously, intellectually vacant. The fact that the NRA's membership doesn't boast many Democrats and few blacks doesn't by definition suggest it's message is anti-Black. More African Americans need to understand the origin of the Bill of Rights and the placement of the 2nd Amendment as significant among its peers. And, of equal importance they must come to understand that the origins of gun control in America are rooted in reactionary politicians attempts to assure that, in particular, Black Americans were denied their 2nd Amendment rights, and as such, their full Constitutional protections. While there exists some controversy regarding certain NRA positions, the NRA remains consistently color blind in its commitment to all Americans being able to equally exercise their Constitutional rights and obligations.

It's a despicable tactic...that too often works....because we don't to point it out for what it is. Political correctness really needs to go.

That's exactly what I thought.

His only point...to make it about race. The great conversation stopper.

All I can say is:
Rap isn't music = he's not a music mogul
Obama Jesus pose T-shirt isn't fashion = he's not a fashion mogul
Phat isn't a real word
$340 net worth makes him a 1%er who supports Occupy Wall Street.
Rap makes holding a handgun sideways cool. So what was his point?
