Belafonte "admires" the actor Paul Robeson. Robeson was a devout communist and supporter of Joe Stalin who went to live in Russia while his hero was murdering millions and never said one word of criticism of STalin or his policies. What would one think of some washed-up entertainer who openly "admired" Leni Reifenstahl, Hitler's favorite moviemaker?

You're so wrong about Robeson. He was a (cough) progressive thinker who was persecuted for his beliefs by a racist country that hates singers who become Communists and sing really low.
