Seriously, @Paula_Deen probably knows more about Slavery than @UncleRUSH,

Russell Simmons has apologized for his Harriet Tubman “sex tape” video, but ultra-liberal University of Pennsylvania professor Anthea Butler isn’t in a forgiving mood:
Problem with @unclerush is like many Americans ,he does not know the history of slavery in America. IDGAF about that apology.

What I do care about @unclerush is if you step your game up and learn AA history. Come to @Penn, my Africana studies colleagues will help.

Seriously,Who has even thought about @unclerush since Kimora left him?
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
@goldietaylor very true. Tubman does not need us,but THE IGNANT need to be checked esp. when they have a platform to spread it.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
@KBDPHD indeed. @unclerush can expect no $ or respect from me ever. I hate sellouts.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
@dryerbuzz lol. yeah. He's just a real fool for doing this. I need twitter to drag @UncleRush harder than @pauladeen
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
NOPE. RT @colorlines: Is Russell Simmons' "apology" enough?
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
RT @shelbyknox: Harriet Tubman is trending because the intersections of racism & sexism manifesting sexual exploitation are alive & well…
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
Seriously, tho, I spend a lot of time in my classrooms teaching about the history/legacy of Slavery in America and the Diaspora…

So seeing this mess with @UncleRUSH making a sex tape parody of Harriet Tubman sears my soul. My students of all ethnicities come to @PENN
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
not knowing the full history or horrors of Slavery. When people like @UncleRUSH do mess like that video, I have to dismantle the ignorance.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
This is why education is important. @UncleRush should be ashamed of his ignorance of his own history. Money and yoga won't cure it.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
@profblmkelley @goldietaylor agree,For @UncleRush, we might need to pass him a children's book on slavery for starters. Not much there.
— ProfB (@AntheaButler) August 15, 2013
I really wish Nat Turner's and Harriet Tubman's ghosts would haunt @UncleRush.

Anything Butler writes should be taken with many grains of salt, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
