Famous black liberals continued their attacks on CNN's Don Lemon Tuesday.

Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons weighed in on Twitter a few hours ago calling Lemon a "slave," "dangerous talking head," and a "disservice to the black community":

The nucleus of almost all revolution lies in youth culture. If I was young my pants would be saggin.. #donsalemon.. — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013

Don Lemon conservatives love when we blame ourselves for the condition of the community. You do disservice to black community — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013

Hip hop language and clothes are expressions of frustration w/the status quo, your a dangerous talking head just read the news — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013

Saggy pants are no different from afros or darshikis or platform shoes they didn't destroy the fabric of the black community — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013

40 yrs of locking up diseased people educating them in criminal behavior and putting them back in hood w/ out chance of employment did — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013

# 1 enemy of black America has been the war on drugs #newjimcrow — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013

As NewsBusters reported, Lemon's been savaged by African-American MSNBC employees such as Al Sharpton, Goldie Taylor, and Michael Eric Dyson.

On Monday, a black activist and author called Lemon a professional assassin of African-Americans.

All this for telling his fellow blacks that they should pull up their pants, learn how to speak proper English, get a good education, not litter their neighborhoods, and stop having out of wedlock births.

It really is a warped nation we live in, isn't it?

In January 2011 he stated in an interview that he is not a Buddhist as previously reported, but is a non-religious practitioner of Yoga, where he prays to the Atman, or the self. Simmons practices a method of Yoga known as Jivamukti Yoga, which encourages vegetarianism and social and environmental activism.

Simmons is a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and a supporter of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace.

To #11> Change “The irony is you cling to your own chains” to “the irony is you bring your own chains”.

Seems that Lemon left the plantation while Simmons still works as a slavemaster/overseer to his own people.

Now, who is the real “Oreo”?

How about simply: “Bitter liberals, clinging to their Swastikas and Rap Music”

Heh...saggy pants are a crossover from prison culture-—its easier to hide shanks and contraband in them.

What’s a “darshiki?” Too bad they can’t spell their own so-called native clothing correctly!

I don’t mind that that’s happening right in the middle of BOwood. All those bleeding hearts can take them home and take care of them, maybe give them a lot of money. The thugs seem to have gotten very bold with Holder and Obama in charge. Who can blame them?
