I guess rape video promoter Russell Simmons @UncleRUSH won't be lecturing me again about civility & decency anytime soon. #hypocrite

Civility lecturer Russell Simmons published a “Harriet Tubman Sex Tape” video that he called the “funniest thing I’ve ever seen.” Because, y’know, LOL at slave rape humor and the pornification of the heroic Tubman.
So Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) thinks Harriet Tubman sex diaries jokes are funny? Good thing he's not a rodeo clown, huh?

After his “buddies from the NAACP” called, Simmons removed the degrading video and reminded everyone how awesomely liberal he is. The hip-hop tycoon apologized “if people r hurt” and retweeted a message declaring him “da Harriet Tubman for our generation.”
Modern leftists: @BarackObama is sacred ground…but Harriet Tubman isn't.

Here we go again: Liberalism as a defense against the indefensible.
After a week of Missouri rodeo clown talk, will be interesting to see the aftermath and reaction to @UncleRUSH's Harriet Tubman sex tape
— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) August 15, 2013
Yes, won’t that be fascinating?
Breaking: @UncleRUSH has just been banned from the Missouri State Fair for life.

Can we expect beer summits and personal phone calls and the White House leading a national conversation on racism and misogyny? Will President Obama declare that his supporter, Russell Simmons, “could have been me“? Or will Simmons get a pass since he didn’t do anything as offensive as slipping on a rubber Obama mask?
White House stuck its nose in Sandra Fluke controversy and rodeo clown. Will they on big Obama booster @UncleRUSH's disaster?

Rodeo clown was banned. What about this clown? > I Get It And I Respect It…The Harriet Tubman Video Has Been Removed. http://t.co/YkZR5lHuDx

Will President Obama call Harriet Tubman?
— Miss B (@robinbmurphy) August 15, 2013
Oh, there might very well be a phone call from the White House:
I hope Obama calls @UncleRush to console him for all the mean things people have said to him over degrading a civil rights icon.

Stay tuned for the inevitable liberal hypocrisy.
I mean thank Christ the actor in the Harriet Tubman sex video wasn't wearing a rubber Obama mask or shit would be going down @UncleRUSH
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 15, 2013
A guy can't put a rubber mask on and dodge a fucking bull but @UncleRUSH can turn Harriet Tubman into a porn star #RIPUSA
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 15, 2013
The free passes are out there, however, the spankings are a far cry from the outrage inspired by the Missouri rodeo clown in an Obama mask.
Harriet Tubman?? Say it ain't so, @UncleRUSH
— John Legend (@johnlegend) August 15, 2013
OK. Just watched the video. Uncle Russ has been making money denigrating black folks for years. No surprise.
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) August 15, 2013
Lefty UPenn professor Anthea Butler wanted to imprison the creator of that crappy YouTube video that wasn’t responsible for the terrorist attack in Benghazi last year. She’s more than willing to school Simmons, but it looks like he’ll get off without jail time.
This is why education is important. @UncleRush should be ashamed of his ignorance of his own history. Money and yoga won't cure it.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
What I do care about @unclerush is if you step your game up and learn AA history. Come to @Penn, my Africana studies colleagues will help.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
Then there’s the ol’ publicity stunt excuse:
well now we all know about @uncleRUSH's new channel so mission accomplished?
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) August 15, 2013
Let’s close this out with some delicious retweets of Simmons’ past tweets.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) August 15, 2013
As we know, self-awareness is super hard for Simmons.
