I always wondered why Mayor deBlasio’s (Wilhelm’s) keynote speaker Harry Belafonte doesn’t return home to his native Jamaica, as he detests this country and his home country is ruled by a government much closer to his political philosophy. Is it because most of Jamaica is a dump and unsafe?

. . . why Mayor deBlasio’s (Wilhelm’s) keynote speaker Harry Belafonte doesn’t return home to his native Jamaica, as he detests this country and his home country is ruled by a government much closer to his political philosophy.

Harry lives on a huge, secluded estate in upstate New York, in a county that's 70 percent Republican, far from any messy street people or Jamaicans.
