russell_simmons2012-in-front-of-flag-med-wideOf course you know Radio Facts has been all over this but if you are just now tuning in, so to speak, The “Harriet Tubman Sex Tape” was a spoof where “Harriet Tubman” was supposedly having sex with her Master in order to allow her to run the Underground Railroad. russell simmons had the video taken down since the controversy. Simmons issued an apology on Globalgrind.com.

“I’m a very liberal person with thick skin,” wrote Simmons. “My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of 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 have taken down the video. Lastly, I would never condone violence against women in any form, and for all of those I offended, I am sincerely sorry.”
