I'm an old white dude, Sidney changed how I viewed the world as a kid by seeing a black man as a man of class and character and I never lost the view that content of character was all that mattered. To live a life shaping views and opinions simply by the way one carried themselves is a life extremely well lived. The man made a huge difference in the world and molded my perspective in a way that made me who I was and ultimately shaped the view of my children as well. This is significant.

RIP Sidney Poitier. My mom took me as a 9 year old white boy to see Guess who's coming to dinner. My parents taught us to respect everyone and not be prejudiced against people of color. Thank you Sidney, and thank you mom and dad! RIP dear ones!
Sidney met one of Joe Biden's qualifications for Vice President. Two bad that he didn't identify as a woman. He could have been the Vice President like Cackling Kamala.
What a loss-a truly great man and actor. He defined class and grace in an era when those qualities were not easily found on the big screen and he did it while going toe to toe with some of the greatest actors of his generation, not just holding his own but often outshining them. As a kid, I adored him as a “movie star” and as an adult, I came to admire his integrity and talent. Godspeed, Mr. Poitier and thank you.
NO CURE That mean someone need to rush to hospital for dipping into icy water cos fever cannot subdue even vommit only can see medicine. If not, someone would collapse after temperature breached 42°, like patients that dropping like flies in China, during temporary hospital were built even clinic still open SIDEWAY SLEEPING Old days where got oxygen tank but sideway sleeping. Cos human still can breath using one lungs after another compressed by body weight and alternate, if one side congested so someone still can breath after the flattern one had expanded Just not much people can withstand coldness of icy water since dipping could last for 4 hours, if fever refuse to subdue or that's life of allergic patients since their disease only have a chart as precaution measures, no cure. And that only, if their symptoms being mild since allergic to peanut could kill, less than a minutes or what happen to Wongsu bestfriend in Indonesia since Vietnam coffee add peanut powder to enrich aroma. SHORTNESS OF BREATH This symptom indeed related to covid patients or how deep you breath, cannot reach ending or capacity of lungs only left 50% mean your breathing only reach halfway since lungs already full or air cannot go in, no matter how deep you inhale. Unless air inside your lung released 1st before inhaling process repeat or why the patient breathing, looks kind of short. Cos shortness of breath were not the same like dying patients that have difficulty breathing too since the symptoms were about something congested and eating space inside the lungs that need to be forced out. That is why, sideway sleeping indeed the better choice, compared to oxygen tank since one of the lungs were compressed by body weight during the process, forcing what congested inside, could come out. That is also the reason, oxygen tank only suitable for coma patients or why they cannot die unless the hose were pulled. Not for induced coma or covid patient since they not needed the hose to be pulled, for the same purpose. And don't forget, this method to counter disease that don't have cure, come from doctor too cos patient cannot make decision or dip into icy water after admitted to hospital. Just doctors in old days indeed different compared to those, nowadays CHRONIC PATIENT VS VACCINE Vaccine cannot help inview of forbidding you from dying after infected by covid. Why? Cos chronic patient mean their organ were getting old or cannot perform at full capacity, when immune system dealing with virus that entered the body. That is why, chronic patient ended up death even they were fully vaccinated or their death were not because their immune system were weak since chronic patient mean sickness related to their organ. BOOSTER SHOT This thing indeed useless since vaccines cannot help chronic patients even after 10 shot cos it cannot ensure their organ rejuvenated or perform like, when they were young. And the main problem, everyone would get old insense you and chronic patient have no different since they were once, young and healthy like you. Then how to see vaccine can protect you upon your age reached 50, when your organ start deteriorating or cannot perform at high capacity? (Google "Danny Woo Vk" in Bing for book of life, A science book that don't exist in human world and share out my comment, so other aware how to counter covid were not using oxygen tank, so do read book of life in my vk profile). OMICRON This variant were different and could reinfect the same patient within 2 day or immune system somehow could not function like other diseases. Cos reinfection usual would not happen since healed patients would be immuned against the same disease or the main reason, why amount of daily patients yet to peak even keep breaching new levels. To stop Omicron indeed have a method or force the disease change behaviour. Since method to counter diseases, have many way and not a must, use medicine. HOT CHICKEN FEATHER BATH This method based on, why chicken egg could last for 28 days before it start rotting or what protecting the egg, could be found in chicken feather. Cos the bath that a bit sticky upon dried up, could seal off human poreholes and if could last for 12 hours, whatever body waste unless solid, would be discharge thru urine, including covid. Covid only dangerous, if airborne or could not infect other, if its surrounding were liquid base. That is why, the bath cannot be cleaned up, till the next day even it abit smelly. If outbreak could be stopped upon infecting you, mean Omicron would subside like other variant. And don't ask why, someone knew such method since you will never understand, if you were not allergic patients. Just share out the method since someone used it before, so he could avoid hospital upon ingested allergic stuff.. Cos the method that could force disease change behaviour, not only about chicken feather bath but also need 4 chicken egg. P5
@pdaddah I was only trying to indicate that at a time when Hollywood was trying to make him submissive, he changed the script. Politics aside it was a powerful scene
I think my favorite scene of his is from "In the heat of the night" when Endicott slaps him and without hesitation he just slaps him right back! RIP Poitier! Love him!😭
Sidney Poitier was a gifted actor and a legend. An activist for civil rights and equality for African Americans. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to family and friends.
To God We Come From to God We Return!! His acting uplifted my generation with his dignity and positive male roles and dedication to social justice. Mr. Tibbs!!!!!!! He was like a family member to us all.
RIP Sidney, you will be missed. God bless your family and friends and many, many fans; which I am one, during this heartbreaking time. I love "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" and "To Sir With Love". I love Sidney Poitier.
In a little over a week, we lost two iconic actors. May they both Rest In Peace. Betty White and Sidney Poitier both lived a long life and set a great example of being humble and kind. We should all be great full that these two entertained us for so long.
My most humble respects and admiration!! You touched my life and my family's life. You gave us a renewed dignity and pride! "To Sir With Love" Always Wendi Joy Franklin
I'm not sure another actor has made as many groundbreaking / iconic movies as the great Sidney Poitier. He will always be special ! Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world.
"... and may his memory be a blessing." This phrase may have been used many times before, but it fell upon my ears for the first time just now. And it touched me to the core. Well said, and I cannot imagine anything more appropriate.
Funny that we seem to think those iconic folks who have taught us much will be around forever. It hurts when they die, although that's part of life! Thank you "Mr. Tibbs" for all you gave to us!!!
Lilies of the Field will always be one of the great movies ever made, and will forever stand the test of time. Sidney and the ladies who played the nuns had a special chemistry that forever embedded them into our hearts. Thank you, Sidney, for showing us that kindness and understanding is how we bring peace to the world.
RIP SIDNEY POITIER! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE YOU! YOU CHANGED MY LIFE THROUGH YOUR MOVIES, AND MADE ME A BETTER PERSON! YOU WERE AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE ACTOR! THANK YOU SIDNEY!😭😢😥😞🙏
I so admired this man. He never backed down, just kept going forward. RIP, Mr. Poitier. You will be missed. God bless you in heaven, and may your family always know peace and well-being.
A gifted actor with humility and a deep concern of the types of characters he played. He had always shown black actors how to be dignified in the roles they would play. RIP Mr. Poitier...
TREMENDOUS lose! When I was very, very young, it was Mr. Poitier who open my eyes, to what this whole race relations thing, was all about. Whether homogenized, or not, it opened the flood gates, with my conversations with my parents, and others, from that point on. It was Mr. Poitier and the Beatles that helped shape my youth, to what I am today. He will be so very missed.
Rest in Peace Sir Sidney Poitier, because you were Royalty to us.Representing when there was no one else, your Class and Dignity paved the way for many to join you in your Illustrious career. RIP, King
One of Mr. Poitier’s perhaps less known works is in a film called A Patch of Blue. It’s a tender and real story for it’s time and all time. He is a person who even in very racially discriminatory times makes a strong effort to help a less fortunate girl. A white girl. It’s very touching and a work of art really. Denzel to me in a way has carried on his torch forward. Congrats to both on enhancing our humanity.
He was a very good man great actor I love all his movies May he forever rest in power God bless his family Very sorry for the loss of such a great man 🙏 🙏
When I was a child, some time in the 90s Sidney Poitier made an appearance at the Oscars as a presenter and both my parents knew it was him (and were in awe) while the host was introducing him. And I thought what was the big deal, not knowing his background. I asked my dad who he was, and he said "he's the first black man to win an Oscar and when you grow up and watch his movies you will realise why." I have never forgotten his name since. He was a legend! And I'm actually Indian and have lived in India for the majority of my life. So yes, this man made an impact with his movies. Rest in Power sir!
This man was and is my roll model, when he walked or spoke it was with so much class and elegance,!! Life well lived sir! Rest easy!! To sir with love :(
I first saw him in To Sir, With Love in 1967 with our tenant and my late mother and and little brother at a movie theater in Richmond Hill, Queens, NYC. It was one of three movie theaters in the neighborhood.
I thought Sidney Poitier would live forever❤️ He was phenomenal in every way. He was an amazing actor that had a commanding presence on screen like no other. RIP Sidney Poitier😥💔🥀
"You see dad, you think of yourself as a colored man, I think of myself as a man". Fine and well respected spirit being known all over our whole wide world, wow!!!!!! We all love and thank you, MAN!!!!!!!!!! Sir. SIDNEY POITIER, 94 GOOD ONES , WELL DONE.
I thought he was the most beautiful man on screen. I loved him in Guess who's coming to dinner. You will never be forgotten not in my mind and heart. RIP Sir Sydney you surely shone bright and always will. xxxxxxxx
A wonderful man.. My Jamaican friend was his Secretary in London when he made "A Warm December" she was devastated when her relationship with a African Doctor fell through because of tribal obligations. He was so sympathetic holding open her job and sending her to stay with me in Germany where I was working for a few weeks. He called her every few days, called me to check up on her - he and his wife sent gifts. He was so kind, caring and truly believed "love is all there is"... A stellar human being. May his work live on forever, his deeds never be forgotten and he find peace in the arms of the Blessed Mother.
He was also knighted by The Queen in 1974, so you should call him SIR Sidney throughout! He certainly deserved that title. A true warrior and nobleman.
R.I.P to one of the legend's, Mr.Poitier, he was one of my Dad's favorite actors, I sometimes see him watching "To Sir with Love" like over 5 times , he's gone but not forgotten
Mr. Poitier was a true humanitarian and a man of class and dignity. My deepest condolences goes out to his family. May his soul rest in peace.🙏🏼 To sir with love.❤
What a shame. Our whole family loved him, from since the 1950s/1960s. He was a man of integrity and high morals. Groundbreaking as the real black man of superstar status on our screens. Everyone loved him, Black, White and indifferent. I'm so vexed right now. But that's life. Bad start to the year, man. Top 4 Poitier films: 1. Buck And The Preacher 2. They Call Me Mr Tibbs 3. In The Heat Of The Night 4. Up Town Saturday Night Up Town Saturday Night never really got the thumbs up from the critics, but I think it was a very strong cast and literally an all black cast. Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier I heard, paid for the film's production and also starred in it as well. My grandfather even once said that I even looked a bit like Sidney. I take it as a nice huge compliment. Oh man, I so wanted him to live to at least 100! But as they say, legends don't and can't die. They live on. 94 is a good innings. Rest well our champion, icon, Baba and legend.👊🏿🙏🏿📺📼📹📽️🎥🎞️🎬👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Oh my GOD what an immense loss for those in Hollywood and around the world! Still haven't got over losing Betty White, and now Sidney has passed on who on earth gone stop my tears from falling? We are losing some of finest actors and actresses in show business people we grew up watching on our TVs way back in the days when life was better then good! Lord have mercy what are we gonna do. RIP Sidney
Absolutely gutted. One of the Greatest of All Time. A Dignified Legend who paved the way for so many. I've loved his work and he will be an Inspiration for Life. Rest in Peace Sidney Sir. #SidneyPoitier
Most people criticizing his "safe" roles must not have seen any of his movies. There was nothing safe about what he did. He took a lot of risks and I never heard him once complain. RIP Mr. Poitier.
I was introduced to his movies when I was in college. I am so grateful for that as I never grow tired of watching his movies nor reading about his contributions to civil rights movements. Thank you for your contributions, Mr. Poitier. May you rest in peace and your movies continue to be played.
R.I.P Mr. Poitier. Wow!!! I remember growing up on his movies as my parents were big fans of his and I became a fan also at a young age. Now I'm 36 years old and remembered once we saw his name in the beginning of the movie we would say. " Yes, this is gonna be a good movie " He was a great great actor. Rest well sir
He will always be in my fondest memories! Thank you for all the quality and dedication to your craft for which you were very accomplished in! Fly High Sydney!🙏You will be sadly missed!
Sidney will remain in my heart. A real human being as well as a talented actor. He helped build a strong bridge over that wall which divides us. Bless you, Sidney. It's up to us, in our own way, to look forward, and to follow in your footsteps. " A-A-Amen ! "
This is beyond sad and heartbreaking. I have loved him for as long as I can remember. He played so many great roles and was such an impressive actor and such a classy gentleman. Sidney Poitier will be dearly missed. I will remember him for many roles, but he stole my heart in To Sir With Love and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. RIP Mr Poitier and thank you for many, many years of wonderful entertainment.
Oh God, he was more than oscar winning actor he was smart,dignity, grace,smart and talent in two legs walking on this earth salute to Sidney from somalia and my condolences to his family and friends.
That man was a class act, one of the best actors out there too! Sincere condolences to his entire family. Rest easy Mr. Poitier and thank you for sharing your grace and talent with the world, you will be very much missed!
He actually passed away yesterday, but the world was too occupied with covering how America's democracy almost fell apart. In my mind, the death of Black Excellence personified is equally, if not more, important. RIP Sidney Poitier! Thank you for serving your country and moving America forward with respect to race relations.
I'm an old white dude, Sidney changed how I viewed the world as a kid by seeing a black man as a man of class and character and I never lost the view that content of character was all that mattered. To live a life shaping views and opinions simply by the way one carried themselves is a life extremely well lived. The man made a huge difference in the world and molded my perspective in a way that made me who I was and ultimately shaped the view of my children as well. This is significant.

Thats true
That scene where he slapped the white cop back was not scripted
NO CURE
That mean someone need to rush to hospital for dipping into icy water cos fever cannot subdue even vommit only can see medicine.
If not, someone would collapse after temperature breached 42°, like patients that dropping like flies in China, during temporary hospital were built even clinic still open
SIDEWAY SLEEPING
Old days where got oxygen tank but sideway sleeping. Cos human still can breath using one lungs after another compressed by body weight and alternate, if one side congested so someone still can breath after the flattern one had expanded
Just not much people can withstand coldness of icy water since dipping could last for 4 hours, if fever refuse to subdue or that's life of allergic patients since their disease only have a chart as precaution measures, no cure.
And that only, if their symptoms being mild since allergic to peanut could kill, less than a minutes or what happen to Wongsu bestfriend in Indonesia since Vietnam coffee add peanut powder to enrich aroma.
SHORTNESS OF BREATH
This symptom indeed related to covid patients or how deep you breath, cannot reach ending or capacity of lungs only left 50% mean your breathing only reach halfway since lungs already full or air cannot go in, no matter how deep you inhale.
Unless air inside your lung released 1st before inhaling process repeat or why the patient breathing, looks kind of short.

And don't forget, this method to counter disease that don't have cure, come from doctor too cos patient cannot make decision or dip into icy water after admitted to hospital.

Very sad! I'm sorry for your loss! My condolences and prayers for y'all! RIP Mr. Sidney Poitier. We'll always miss and remember you.
A gifted actor with humility and a deep concern of the types of characters he played. He had always shown black actors how to be dignified in the roles they would play. RIP Mr. Poitier...
TREMENDOUS lose! When I was very, very young, it was Mr. Poitier who open my eyes, to what this whole race relations thing, was all about. Whether homogenized, or not, it opened the flood gates, with my conversations with my parents, and others, from that point on. It was Mr. Poitier and the Beatles that helped shape my youth, to what I am today. He will be so very missed.
Rest in Peace Sir Sidney Poitier, because you were Royalty to us.Representing when there was no one else, your Class and Dignity paved the way for many to join you in your Illustrious career. RIP, King
One of Mr. Poitier’s perhaps less known works is in a film called A Patch of Blue. It’s a tender and real story for it’s time and all time. He is a person who even in very racially discriminatory times makes a strong effort to help a less fortunate girl. A white girl. It’s very touching and a work of art really. Denzel to me in a way has carried on his torch forward. Congrats to both on enhancing our humanity.
I was trying to remember the name of that movie!!!. Shelly Winters played the blind girls mother. That's my favorite of all of his movies.
A Patch of Blue is the movie that no one talks about but it's every bit as good as the ones people know about.
@@reginastoltz3629 The name of the movie is "A Patch of Blue" Shelly Winters played a real nasty character in that movie.
There's is hope for the human race because of rare people like Sydney Potier. May God comfort loved ones.
He was a hardcore Trump supporter
He will be missed.
Growing up in the Bahamas, he lived in a town which had no movie theaters.
He was a very good man great actor I love all his movies May he forever rest in power God bless his family Very sorry for the loss of such a great man 🙏 🙏
We've lost a giant of a man. RIP brother. We will remember Sidney Poitier with love and gratitude for all the great things he did.
When I was a child, some time in the 90s Sidney Poitier made an appearance at the Oscars as a presenter and both my parents knew it was him (and were in awe) while the host was introducing him. And I thought what was the big deal, not knowing his background. I asked my dad who he was, and he said "he's the first black man to win an Oscar and when you grow up and watch his movies you will realise why."
I have never forgotten his name since. He was a legend! And I'm actually Indian and have lived in India for the majority of my life. So yes, this man made an impact with his movies. Rest in Power sir!
His portrayal of black men outside of the Hollywood stereotypes in that era will always be remembered.
He will be missed, he made history along the way. Rest in peace. 💔💔💔
This man was and is my roll model, when he walked or spoke it was with so much class and elegance,!! Life well lived sir! Rest easy!! To sir with love :(
Role Model, not roll model....................
To Sir with Love. Another great movie,
A man of great dignity and grace. There’s a great spirit gone.
May he Rest in Peace ❤ 🙏🏾
Even his name was cool..❤
In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? By far his best work.
My first childhood crush. Rest easy love. THANK YOU for sharing yourself with us❤️💕😪
R.I.P LEGEND!!!
Everyone who didn't know him: "He was like a father to me."
I first saw him in To Sir, With Love in 1967 with our tenant and my late mother and and little brother at a movie theater in Richmond Hill, Queens, NYC. It was one of three movie theaters in the neighborhood.
I thought Sidney Poitier would live forever❤️ He was phenomenal in every way. He was an amazing actor that had a commanding presence on screen like no other. RIP Sidney Poitier😥💔🥀
2022 had to show out just like 2021. RIP Mr. Poitier! He opened so many doors for minorities! 💔😭
Just Like Jussie Smollett .
What’s a monitory
2022 can't be a terrible year because someone dies no matter how famous they were.
What about CNN producer John Griffin and the 9-year old girl 😳
Wow, I had no idea he was still alive (until yesterday). He was truly a great actor.
I saw all those movies with my mother, she admired him. I was very young when I saw most of his movies but I really enjoyed them. RIP MR Poitier.
This gentleman reeked with class!!! R.I.P
"You see dad, you think of yourself as a colored man, I think of myself as a man". Fine and well respected spirit being known all over our whole wide world, wow!!!!!! We all love and thank you, MAN!!!!!!!!!! Sir. SIDNEY POITIER, 94 GOOD ONES , WELL DONE.
I thought he was the most beautiful man on screen. I loved him in Guess who's coming to dinner. You will never be forgotten not in my mind and heart. RIP Sir Sydney you surely shone bright and always will. xxxxxxxx
I only knew him from A Raisin In The Sun. Just watched it a few days ago. One of my favorite movies ever.
A wonderful man.. My Jamaican friend was his Secretary in London when he made "A Warm December" she was devastated when her relationship with a African Doctor fell through because of tribal obligations. He was so sympathetic holding open her job and sending her to stay with me in Germany where I was working for a few weeks. He called her every few days, called me to check up on her - he and his wife sent gifts. He was so kind, caring and truly believed "love is all there is"... A stellar human being. May his work live on forever, his deeds never be forgotten and he find peace in the arms of the Blessed Mother.
My mom has been singing To Sir With Love. Brilliant actor.
He was also knighted by The Queen in 1974, so you should call him SIR Sidney throughout! He certainly deserved that title. A true warrior and nobleman.
R.I.P to one of the legend's, Mr.Poitier, he was one of my Dad's favorite actors, I sometimes see him watching "To Sir with Love" like over 5 times , he's gone but not forgotten
I remember him from the movie " TO SIR WITH LOVE" I will never forget this brilliant actor. RIP SIR
Before he "made it"..his very story IS a work of art and dedication. Read about his momma and what she did for her family.This is a beautiful man.
Mr. Poitier was a true humanitarian and a man of class and dignity. My deepest condolences goes out to his family. May his soul rest in peace.🙏🏼 To sir with love.❤
What a shame. Our whole family loved him, from since the 1950s/1960s.
He was a man of integrity and high morals. Groundbreaking as the real black man of superstar status on our screens. Everyone loved him, Black, White and indifferent.
I'm so vexed right now. But that's life. Bad start to the year, man.
Top 4 Poitier films:
1. Buck And The Preacher
2. They Call Me Mr Tibbs
3. In The Heat Of The Night
4. Up Town Saturday Night
Up Town Saturday Night never really got the thumbs up from the critics, but I think it was a very strong cast and literally an all black cast. Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier I heard, paid for the film's production and also starred in it as well.
My grandfather even once said that I even looked a bit like Sidney. I take it as a nice huge compliment.
Oh man, I so wanted him to live to at least 100!
But as they say, legends don't and can't die. They live on. 94 is a good innings.
Rest well our champion, icon, Baba and legend.👊🏿🙏🏿📺📼📹📽️🎥🎞️🎬👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
RIP, Sidney Poitier. You were one of the best, and will never be forgotten.
Oh my GOD what an immense loss for those in Hollywood and around the world! Still haven't got over losing Betty White, and now Sidney has passed on who on earth gone stop my tears from falling? We are losing some of finest actors and actresses in show business people we grew up watching on our TVs way back in the days when life was better then good! Lord have mercy what are we gonna do. RIP Sidney
Absolutely gutted. One of the Greatest of All Time. A Dignified Legend who paved the way for so many. I've loved his work and he will be an Inspiration for Life. Rest in Peace Sidney Sir. #SidneyPoitier
Most people criticizing his "safe" roles must not have seen any of his movies. There was nothing safe about what he did. He took a lot of risks and I never heard him once complain. RIP Mr. Poitier.
I was introduced to his movies when I was in college. I am so grateful for that as I never grow tired of watching his movies nor reading about his contributions to civil rights movements. Thank you for your contributions, Mr. Poitier. May you rest in peace and your movies continue to be played.
To Sir With Love remains one of my favorite movies of all time!!! Rest well sir!
Truly this kind man lived an eloquent life....
"Lilies of the Fields" is my favorite movie...so much to that movie...
Goodnight Sidney....Thank You.
R.I.P Mr. Poitier. Wow!!! I remember growing up on his movies as my parents were big fans of his and I became a fan also at a young age. Now I'm 36 years old and remembered once we saw his name in the beginning of the movie we would say. " Yes, this is gonna be a good movie " He was a great great actor. Rest well sir
He will always be in my fondest memories! Thank you for all the quality and dedication to your craft for which you were very accomplished in! Fly High Sydney!🙏You will be sadly missed!
So proud of this man I love everything about him and enjoy every minute watching him in the movies.
I fell in love with Sidney after watching To Sir with Love. Rest In Peace. My brother.
Sidney will remain in my heart. A real human being as well as a talented actor. He helped build a strong bridge over that wall which divides us. Bless you, Sidney. It's up to us, in our own way, to look forward, and to follow in your footsteps. " A-A-Amen ! "
I saw A Patch of Blue when I was a young teen, and it’s message has stuck with me through the years. RIP
This is beyond sad and heartbreaking. I have loved him for as long as I can remember. He played so many great roles and was such an impressive actor and such a classy gentleman. Sidney Poitier will be dearly missed. I will remember him for many roles, but he stole my heart in To Sir With Love and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. RIP Mr Poitier and thank you for many, many years of wonderful entertainment.
Oh God, he was more than oscar winning actor he was smart,dignity, grace,smart and talent in two legs walking on this earth salute to Sidney from somalia and my condolences to his family and friends.
This just breaks my heart. Especially after losing Betty.
Watching him on screen was pure joy for me... wonderful memories.Thank you Mr.Poitier.
This is such a sad loss. He was a great man, an inspiring man, and a great actor.
That man was a class act, one of the best actors out there too! Sincere condolences to his entire family. Rest easy Mr. Poitier and thank you for sharing your grace and talent with the world, you will be very much missed!
He actually passed away yesterday, but the world was too occupied with covering how America's democracy almost fell apart. In my mind, the death of Black Excellence personified is equally, if not more, important. RIP Sidney Poitier! Thank you for serving your country and moving America forward with respect to race relations.
America's democracy did fell apart when Biden stole the election from Trump.
