Comment: DCGG, you said on the 11/28/06 article that the man is fake. I have to agree with you on that. The name DeBeers wasn’t even mentioned there. In it, he spoke about “conflict free” diamonds and wanting a Petra Nemcova to join him. Mr. Simmons, instead of Petra Nemcova, here is Gloria Steinem to tell you about “conflict free” diamonds and DeBeers:
<<These are cultures [in Botswana] of enormous sophistication and importance to everyone in the world. And they are being exterminated. This is, in fact, cultural genocide, as these scholars of cultural genocide have documented in a case that's being brought before the International Criminal Court. […] if De Beers is a good citizen of Botswana, they would certainly call for the enforcement of the law. […] what makes this especially surrealistic, is that if they got their land back, they do not object to De Beers having access to the mineral rights. They're not claiming the mineral rights. So, this, you know, is not just about diamonds, it is about a profound, deep racism, a leftover colonial way of thinking, a drastic undervaluing of one of the most valuable cultures in this world. But it's very, very clear, that this is their land, and they must be returned to their land. […] And it's time to end it and to realize that the San Ncoakhoe, the so-called Bush people, are in fact the real diamonds here. They are the precious culture. They are what we need in this world. They have such knowledge of pharmacology, of healing, of conflict resolution techniques, of how to live, of how to raise children […] the resettlement camps are atrocious, are breeding grounds of disease, of AIDS, of tuberculosis, of starvation, of malnutrition. I mean, you know, it's -- it's ridiculous to say, it seems to me, that you create the problem that you then make profit to solve somewhere else? They're still sacrificing a whole group of people there, and something that is a culture that is an international global treasure. >>

Comment: What makes the man especially odorous is he seems to be willing to be a front man (marionette) for issues and people that have a disdain for Black people. In addition to trying to make a sow (DeBeers) look attractive, notice what Mr. God Almighty (Jay-Hova) and Simmons are up to: <<“Fighting Old-Fashioned Anti-Semitism the Hip-Hop Way” Anti-Semitism might be the oldest hatred, but on Sunday it will be combatted by something entirely modern: two of America's hippest music stars […] Rapper-turned-record executive Jay-Z and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons will be starring in public service announcements throughout the United States, Europe and South America aimed at reducing anti-Semitism. […] And they will explain that "anti-Semitism is a long word for racism.">>
