Being good at a game doesn't mean you have to like the rules. I support anyone who "genuinely" supports dismantling the bogus system that we have now.

bravo.

[CalvinMcCaskill]

Wordup to Russ!

It's not about the 1% or 99% anymore. Either you are for or against helping humanity.

[LeytonLuva22]

He is apart of the system. Why doesn't he talk about his bogus debit card that charges crazy fees and a poor customer service base that has not answers for "direct deposit" checks that never go through!

[justanks]

He is giving a real solution. What have you done??

@AvalonCEO1 - Actually Russel should have lectured the crowd on just how much of a 1%er he is, he could have listed all his material possessions, his Hummer, his mansion, his jewelry, his six figure salary, his former trophy wife. Then he could say the truth, AMERICAN CAPITALISM has been very, very, very, very good to him and call it a day!

@AvalonCEO1 - Regarding Russel Simmons here, I'm not calling bullshit on him because he's Black nor because he could buy and sell me with all that cash Def Jam generates. I'm calling bullshit on him because he's a part of a movement that's attacking the very same Capitalist economic system that allowed for him to become fabulously wealthy in the first place. That's called blatant hypocrisy furthermore calling bullshit on Russel isn't racism! If Russel chose to speak in public!

[StompingRabbits]

@AvalonCEO1 - You're fucking problem is that you're going to label all Whites as racist so you can feel good about hating them and that's the equivalent of jerking off. Yes, you don't hate us, you're just parroting the old Black racist fantasy of fucking Whites out of existence for shits and giggles, no harm intended right? Indeed you would hate your White wife and bi-racial daughters if you could no longer control them. I'll bet every time you get mad at them they are White bitches! bwaaahah~

[StompingRabbits]

@AvalonCEO1 - "Bi-racial kids prove that we can't keep Blacks out of our lineage?" Oh yea, and you're not boasting about fucking us out of existence right? You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you dawg? When did I ever say "boo" about Black millionaires like Russel? I'm not disagreeing with Russel because he's Black, I'm disagreeing with his because he's agitating to dismantle the same Capitalist system that made it possible for him to be fabulously wealthy in the first place!
