Russell Simmons would likely admit he “helped some bitches” make a decision.
Say her name: Sheri Sher.
Say you believe her: I believe Sheri Sher was mistaken for just another “bitch” that needs “help” to make a decision. The horrible truth about too many “successful entrepreneurs” is that you have to “push” people to get things done. So, when one cross-examines Russell Simmons, one might approach him from this direction: “entrepreneurship.”
This approach would give Russell Simmons the opportunity to condemn the entire dominator-culture system that produces the typical toxic entrepreneurial personality:
- distrust for authority, leaning toward feeling “above the law”
- excessive risk taking, leaning toward an addiction to thrill seeking
- excessive self-centeredness (narcissism)
- corruption coming from being exceedingly persuasive
- the resilience to repeat toxic behaviors with renewing determination
Neither Sheri Sher or Russell Simmons would be willing to condemn the entire system. But I am sure both of them would not like to be caught by any of the bullets above. I find it hard to accept that Russell was never touched by any of those hollow-tip points.
What Russell has done is state that he never used violence:
When “we” define violence as showing up to funeral to shoot people in the face in case the body in casket is not the correct dead person, then, yes, Russell Simmons has been “devoid” of violence for his entire life. I think we need to examine Russell and his Western civilization to really agree on what violence is. I state with extreme prejudice that Russell would argue that violence is a contact sport. The use of “physical force” with just words coming out of the mouth or actions at a distance would not be violence to Mr. Simmons. He might use the word aggression to attempt to not use the word violence. And, by the way, this also implies that Russell did not use violence on himself to somehow non-violently amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars. This achievement would be a miracle.
To continue to cross-examine Russell, the next approach starts with the question, Have you been known throughout your life—including your life as a teenaged person—to reject the domination of others? This is a move away from the word violence to the word domination.
Say you believe her: the act of getting me to say something is an act of domination. Some people, including victims of rape, feel that there is a positive side to the domination of others. This is where the “big brother” stuff comes in—the “tough love” stuff. I think it would not be difficult to get Russell to publicly appreciate “tough love” which can quickly degrade into “helping a bitch make a decision”—because that is what many, many record deals are about. This is what being a “life coach” is about. This is what being a guru is about.
Sorry, dear reader, for using such violent words but what is so fucked up about my personality is my insistence that I work with intrinsically motivated adults holistically or I work with no one. I agree: this attitude of mine is extremist but once you have a taste of such interpersonal experiences it hard to go back to “real life.”
I violently assert that Russell Simmons understands this: most of the adults he has worked with have to be externally motivated. Again, it would be miracle to actually discover that Simmons acquired such financial gains without externally motivating any adults (or without hiring enforcers to motivate other adults for him). My point is this:
Externally motivating other adults is an act of violence. It may be “good” violence but, bitch, it is still violence.
And once one gets used to such violence. One might actually think that it is “good” to “help a bitch make a decision” by standing in front of her completely naked except for a condom. Once one gets used to manipulating grown-ass people with non-verbal cues, one thinks one is actually having a complete conversation with another motherfucker.
I think Russell Simmons lived in a marketing world where he sold explicit lyrics—and the irony of such salesmanship was the non-verbal, juvenile underworld he had to move in most of the time. As far as I know, the non-verbal, juvenile underworld is the “real world” here in the United States. There are very few authentic adults in this country. And I believe that Russell kept it “real.” In this “real world,” women have most of the power when it comes to involving other people in their monarchic masturbation rituals. When Russell presented himself with the opportunity to be one of the few heterosexual males that can entangle other people in his narcissistic desires, I think he “aggressively” seized the “opportunities” as they emerged. It’s called “entrepreneurship.”
One can fuck with other people like a sneaky little ninja or one can fuck in broad daylight in fragrant white petals like a samurai. In the real world, the ninja makes enemy contact more often (with a wider variety of enemies) and is more tactically and psychologically effective. The samurai make contact less frequently (with fewer, specialized opponents) and is more likely to be killed, often by his own hand.
Russell Simmons is an American ninja.
