The Latest Hollywood Moron--Harry Belafonte

Media and Policy Review ^ | 10/9/02 | Kevin Kelley

Drudge reports on the comments of our most recent Hollywood moron, Harry Belafonte. Additionally, last night Bill O'Reilly of Fox News' O'Reilly Factor blasted Belafonte for his scathing criticism of Secretary of State Colin Powell. From Drudge.....

Singer Harry Belafonte took to the AM radio waves on Tuesday morning to slam Secretary of State Colin Powell as a sellout to the black race!

Belafonte, appearing on San Diego's 760 KFMB, told host Ted Leitner that Powell was like a plantation slave who moves into the slave owner's house and only says what his master wants him to say.

Belafonte's comparisons between slavery and conservatism are reminiscent of the unrelenting attacks suffered by Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. Essentially, the argument goes something like this: If you don't side with the Democrats, who are the de facto protectors of the little guy and minorities, then you are a racist. This slap-down is used to prevent further debate and intimidate others into avoiding the same error.

What proof is there that Democrats help blacks more than Republicans? Well, Democratic campaign literature is rife with platitudes to the minority voter for one thing.....and if that's not enough, there is the welfare state, funded with trillions of dollars over 40 years that led to blacks becoming a permanent underclass. Liberal policies that created incentives to have children out of wedlock led to record levels of teen pregnancy and the crushing of so many dreams. When conservatives complained that Rap music was course and misogynistic and glorified the thug lifestyle, liberals exploded, accusing Republicans of wanting to stifle the creative talents of NWA and Tupac Shakur. So Shug Knight and his gang affiliated Death Row Records became a huge success by painting white culture and the work ethic as outmoded paradigms that kept the black man down. Now, urban youth emulate the swagger of the rappers, walking around with their new sneakers and a .40 in their waistband....nothing in front of them but a losing crap shoot between selling rock on the corner and jail (or a hole in the forehead).

But worry not! The Democrats were there to help with food stamps and other lame programs that mainly fostered dependency on government. Of course we can't overlook the stunning success of the Democrat led urban school systems that have graduated so many shining examples of excellence in public education.

What an embarrassment to hear Belafonte harping about Uncle Tom boot kissing house boys in the face of the actual history of liberal failures. There is literally not a single success that liberalism can point to. Good intentions are a joke, and are tossed overboard at the first offer of political power or expediency. To expect government to be the savior of the black community is a ridiculous idea. Belafonte should rightly be held out as the latest Hollywood Moron.

Poor Snuggles! I dontated. Will that spare snuggles now?

[jjm2111]

Belafonte is a retard. Why don't these people think before they speak?

[pgkdan]

Rush is giving it to hiom now! Belafonte is an ass.

[William McKinley]

Well, we do have some people who have donated saying "as long as he does get it", so it is still up in the air ;-)

[wysiwyg]

Belafonte is just the latest example of someone mistaking talent for brains.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I dontated

Are you series?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

talent? one good song.

[Sangria]

Day-O!

[handy]

I hope people like the "daylight come an me wanna go home" singer continue to speakout on radio & tv. Clearly anyone who can pen insigtful lyrics such as these, has much to add to the arena of international diplomacy. It's an outrage that Bush has failed to appoint not even one washed up 50's era reggae singer to the State Department.

[jjm2111]

Dyslexics of the world Untie!

[mc5cents]

Talent? one good song.

Actually, he had two hit songs. The Banana Boat Song (Day-o) and Jamaica Farewell. Other than that... well, his 2 record album (remember them?), Live at Carnagie Hall is pretty good. Has his "hits" plus Man Piaba, and There's a Hole in the Bucket, and Man Smart(Woman smarter) which are not bad.
