#1 To quote somebody:
"Shut up and sing, already!"

#2 The old black leadership is only concerned with maintaining their position and petty power by delivering up their own people's future. There's a name for that. The three greatest contributors to poverty in America are substance abuse, single female head of household, and blowing off education. Name me those in the leadership who have publically hammered those problems within the community rather than shift the blame elsewhere. They sell the souls of their own people to the one party which literally protect those delivering substandard education because the union buys the party with gold. Before there was an America, blacks sold other blacks to islamic slavers for the Cairo-Damascus trade. The practice may have changed in form, but the substance remains the same.

#5 That is quite the cast of characters, all right. Harrangers, race baters, demagogues, inflammatory speakers, and NOT ONE PROBLEM-SOLVER among them. Heh.

#6 Harry and Dick Gregory! Wow! There must've been a special on round trip flights out of Bolivian.
I swear, I thought Dick Gregory was dead.

#7 After reading about Rummy and Sinise - this brings back cold reality. Belafonte's insane. He's been insane for quite some time.

Interviewing him is merely mining salt - you know precisely what you're going to get, so this must be what the editor wanted to print. Fuck 'em both.

#8 Gregory trashed the United States, calling it "the most dishonest, ungodly, unspiritual nation that ever existed in the history of the planet. As we talk now, America is 5 percent of the world's population and consumes 96 percent of the world's hard drugs," Gregory said.

Um, so you're saying that we should share our hard drugs more? Tell Belafonte to quit bogarting the joint.

#10 At least Stevie Wonder didn't make an ass out of himself.

Any wild guesses as to Bill Cosby's absence?

#12 Musician Stevie Wonder addressed the marchers demanding that the Voting Rights Act be extended and strengthened. "Having to demand that we have a bill that will guarantee the voting rights of all American citizens forever is ridiculous," Wonder said.

riiggghhtt. Didn't make an ass of himself? We all know that the eeeeeevil Reps are trying to keep blacks from voting ~~over and over~~ , and asking ridiculous requirements like ID's and no dead voters...

#14 "Race baiters and discriminators may go underground, but they never move out of town," Jackson said.
If anybody knows about that it would be Jesse.

#16 Harry B. is continuing to live large on the Democratic Plantation. Somebody needs to explain to Harry it's okay to leave the plantation and think for yourself. Harry should be reminded that most slave owners were the original Democrats. Oh, never mind...

#17 Mark Z: 'fraid not. In the antebellum period, the slave-owners were mostly Whigs, and before that, National Republicans. They were only Democrats for the brief period between the collapse of the Whig Party in 1854 and the collapse of the Democratic Party in 1860. For most of the slave-owning period, the Democratic Party in the South was the "popular" party, of those who both hated the slaves, and the slave-owners. Poor white trash, in other words. Like Andrew Johnson, frex.

Which is all utterly irrelevant to the main point, which is that Harry Belafonte is batshit insane. And Dick Gregory? Walking proof that bullshit and bile aren't carcinogenic.

#21 The Clintons and US DemoLefties are still playing everybody against the other - America > a Communist-controlled Fascist nation like Russia-China while pretending they are against Dubya's "imperialist" or "warmoner" policies in the WOT, i.e are the alternates to Dubya and the GOP-Right. The DemoLeft alternate to [national] Unitarian, GOP-Dem or GOP= Dem "Fascism", is COMMUNISM except by indirect route, where alleged "Fascism" is merely relabeled as DE-REGULATED COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM. Commie Fascist Russia-China = Commie Fascist/Fascist Commie America. Can a Commie-controlled "Fascist" government still be "Fascist"??? Leftism stands for nothing except politics, and all the amount of relabeling isn't gonna hide an insincere patriot or PC treason - ITS NOT "SOCIALISM",
"COMMUNISM", OR "REGULATION", BUT "NATIONWIDE" and "PERSONAL" "SAFETY" AND "SECURITY", ETC. FEEL-GOOD SURNAMES!?
