During a recent tour of Verbum Dei High School, nestled in the South Central Los Angeles community of Watts, Media Mogul and Hip Hop Pioneer, Russell Simmons spoke with the student body about his new book “SUPER RICH: The Guide To Having It All.” It is a recent letter he addressed to President Obama and the United States about the war on drugs. “The drug laws have been one of the most devastating things to happen. Black and Brown people are ten times more likely to go to jail for the same drug offence than their counterparts.” Simmons was a bit more candid speaking with Michael Reel about American’s war on drugs. “It’s a war on Black people! It’s like slavery; the prison industrial complex. It has destroyed our Black communities nationwide. Lock us up, teach us to be violent criminals and then drop us back in the hood with no hope.” Simmons did express a glimmer of hope to ReelUrbanNews.com in relationship to youth and making significant strides in the 21st Century. “I’m really a fan of getting kids to see the whole world.” Russell Simmons, Media Mogul and Hip Hop Pioneer
