BRAZIL LOVE HIM.
No, they don't.
He was talented, an activist, and a trailblazer who will be missed. I'm thankful for his life and prayer and condolences go out to his family 😞🙏
Who?
He was a severe critic of Barack Obama.
I never liked him. I'm not mourning anything. I don't know of any civil rights that he was fighting for. Cynthia g. Youtube expose these men pathology and fake civil rights movement.
A quote from legendary actress Eartha Kitt: " I was married to Bill McDonald in 1960. People would say ‘Why didn’t you marry a
Blackman?’ I would reply“because the
whitegirls had them!” The men I wanted to be with, Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, dated predominatlywhitewomen. I’m talking about the 50s. Harry Belfonte picks me up out of his bed in Philadelphia and said: ‘I don’t want you to take me seriously because noBlackwoman can do anything for me’. I could not help him to progress into where he was going to go. “Ablackwoman would hold ablackman back’, that’s what he told me. If I wanted to marry ablackman there wasn’t one because thewhitegirls had them."AUGUST 25, 2016
Belafonte, Charlamagne tha God and Rev. Al Sharpton have all come out to support Nate Parker against what they feel is a smear campaign to “keep the
blackman down.” Many more have come to the same defense, especially otherblackmen, but those three are the most prominent. Whether they know this or not, their attempts to do as much as they can to support theblackman is even more damaging to many victims of rpe and sxual assault.RIP Harry, your music will always be part of our lives.
I love your energy in your videos.
A long and productive life , but this still makes me so sad to see another great soul leave us . Condolences to those who were close .
My deep sympathy go out to the family. May God grant you peace and comfort.
Daylight come and I guess he went home rest in peace we all love you
Nothing lost in Harry's passing. He was just the typical Bleeding Heart Liberal Race Baiter.
Rip to him but Dr Charles Stanley deserved this same type of respect..but I know he’s in a much better place.
