Not for the video, though that was pretty obnoxious, but for his "apology"/reaction

Quote:
The three-minute video posted on the All Def Digital YouTube page on Wednesday featured a parody of Tubman performing sex acts with a white slave owner while another slave filmed them from a closet, to leverage freedom for slaves

"I'm a very liberal person with thick skin. My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of the actors said in the video, that 162 years later there's still tremendous injustice. And with Harriet Tubman outwitting the slave master? I thought it was politically correct. Silly me. I can now understand why so many people are upset,"

I check the non-pertinent news world for the first time in hours, and I catch this headline.

Russell Simmons apologizes for Harriet Tubman sex parody

I decided I didn't have time to determine how f'd up this entire deal could be. Still haven't checked it out.

never apologize for art, especially if it is misinterpreted
