Of course Belafonte is going to come out against Cain. Belefonte's assistance with the Airlifts to America helped to get Obama Sr a scholarship to University of Hawaii.

[longfellow]

ask the sh!t WHAT HE THINKS OF CASTRO.

[chris37]

LOL @ RACIST BLACKS.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Who the hell is Harry Belafonte and who cares what he thinks?....Oh...I get it, the whack left media....

[A_Former_Democrat]

Belafonte is bananas

He needs them tallied (maybe by the Occupiers) and go home

[Kartographer]

This is nothing the Perry and Paul supporters haven’t posted right here on FR. In fact some have posted MUCH worse.

[Tex-Con-Man]

A liberal calling a conservative stupid...that’s never happened before.

[Darteaus94025]

"And he doesn’t believe that racism holds anyone back in any way now."

What qualifies her to speak for Cain? That's not a direct quote. She's not a Tea Party member, or a Cain spokesman.

[Let's Roll]

For Belafonte to be questioning anyone else’s intelligence is the definition of satire. Maybe they can have Danny Glover on next.

[Izzy Dunne]

and certainly someone who is as denied a view of history such as he reveals.

That's like English; only different.

[DeaconRed]

DAY OH, DAY OH (The very young won't have a clue THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD HIM SING)
Harry I hope you ask yourself one day this one question:
Blacks have been with the Rat party for many many moons now?
What in the HELL do you have to show for it?
Then some smart blacks move to the RIGHT and see the light and all you can do is call them names.
Shame on you. SHAME- - - - - NIGHT OH . . . Looser.

[PLD]

So what do you do if your major claim to fame is as a singer and your last big hit was almost 50 years ago? If you're Calypso has-been Harry Belafonte, you spend the last half century making a major league ass of yourself.

His hate has been directed at blacks who serve in the Bush administration. Last week he described them as “black tyrants” and compared them to Jewish people who did the bidding of Adolph Hitler.

As I see it it is the same old broken record from this idiot Communist..He sounds to me like his president hating America and doing everything in his lowly power to destroy good...Typical Communist..Now here is more of what he does so read the article please..Just another has been..who sold his soul to the Devil..He like the the other Communist want to keep the blacks in slavery except for the ones that follow his Communist ways..Go to Hell Harry and take your ilk with you.. http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/bates/050816

No, this statement isn’t ignorant or defeatist:

“Because he happened to have had good fortune hit him, because he happened to have had a moment when he broke through, the moment someone blinked, does not make him the authority on the plight of people of color”.

What the hell is Belafonte talking about. Cain had to work his tail off to become a success. It wasn’t simply the luck of the draw! It wasn’t like he won the lottery. He earned what he has. And yes, anything is possible if you work hard enough! Why is that a terrible message?!

I can’t stand the cows on that show! I’m not surprised that they would host a commie like Harry “calypso” Belafonte! Who cares what these idiots think anymore. Don’t they have a police car to defecate on at “Wall Street”.

[Swede Girl]

Belafonte should have moved to the USSR many moons ago. He has always been a moron. It is laughable that he has the chutzpah to belittle Cain's intelligence.

[silverleaf]

Come Mr Tollyman, Tolly me banana!

(Harry shuffles, tap dances, Behar and crowd break into laughter and applaud)

[FroggyTheGremlim]

"Because he happened to have had good fortune hit him, ..."

Uhhh, Harry, or shall I call you "Boo-boo, " You are the one hit with good fortune. God blessed you with a beautiful voice. (It's gone now, but was beautiful back then.)

Herman Cain and his parents worked for what they have, unblessed with natural talents like you were.

So shut the f&ck up Boo-Boo and crawl back into your hole.

[arkady_renko]

Because he happened to have had good fortune hit him, because he happened to have had a moment when he broke through, the moment someone blinked, does not make him the authority on the plight of people of color.

Of course Herman Cain is only the recipient of dumb luck. In Belafonte's mind there is no other way a black person can be successful except to be a recipient of a freak act, or sell out to the white man. There's no way in Harry's world that a black man could ever be elected President...

Ooops. That just happened, didn't it? Must be dumb luck or someone blinked.

[tumblindice]

Harry Belafonte: lefty step `n fetchit Oreo.

[Clock King]

“so denied intelligence” ??? Speak English, man!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Behar constructs a strawman anyhow. Cain did not say racism poses no problems at all to black people who pursue success, only that it’s a far smaller problem than they think.

[windsorknot]

When I want serious insightful political or cultural analysis, I turn to Harry Belafonte.
