Belafonte's Social and Political Activism - by TPO


Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte Stands His Ground
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Regarding the recent so-called "feud" between Mr. Belafonte and Jay-Z ....

Mr. Belafonte stands his ground! That shouldn't surprise anyone. He has always been more than what you see on the surface. To begin with, his social commitments and political activism were never self-serving. Conversely, however, Jay-Z , Beyonce, et al seem to me to be the antithesis of someone like Belafonte. He sacrificed a lot ... he could have been a mega movie star if he had been a laid-back, part-time political activist. Today's punk moguls will never be his equals in my view.

God bless Belafonte!
