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'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.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.
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.

Are you series?
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.
