- Lena Horne’s DYING Words REVEAL Hollywood's ABUSE of Black Celebs.
Lena Horne is a pioneer in Hollywood and black entertainment. She was the first black person to sign a high-pay, long-term contract with one of the biggest movie production studios in Hollywood. Her success opened the way for many black actors who looked up to her, and she became a leading light in the industry. She had seen it all: the hardships, the rejections, the hard work, and the struggle, and she had conquered. She had fought the battle, and like the victor that she was, she could now share her experience with others, and she did.

Having worked with Lena on her 1981 Bway show. She was a fine lady; a fine singer ; and, a leader in the Civil Rights Movement. What a great lady. RIP Miss Horne.🌟
She was not only a great beauty and talented but a role model and an inspiration. She classy, graceful and elegant and very intelligent. Rip MS. Lena.
Ms. Lena was so beautiful ❤. Rest Well.
Ms. Lena Horne was the epitome of beauty, brains, class, grace, talent, and style. It's ashamed that her parents wanted a boy first instead. It sounds like she went through so many changes just working to live out her dream and life's work. Hollywood writers, directors, producers and all that works behind the scenes are so greedy and filled with lists that so many hopes and dreams have been destroyed. All that glitters ain't gold.
Singing up in heaven
If you don't look black then you are not black. Your mother could be black, your father could be black but once you don't look black you are not black.
Meet Ms. Horne one night after her one woman show in San Francisco. Ms. Horne was the BOMB!!! Not only was she more beautiful in person, she was a regally proud BLACK woman, down to earth and could and would cuss like a sailor!!! Loved, admired, appreciated her tenacity and fight for racial equality. Made me proud to be a Black woman. Ms. Horne was a one of a kind trailblazer.❤❤❤
She passed looking good she looked like she never aged her hair just turn gray
Its called pedowood and hollyweird for reasons.
The righteous must stand up and rice. We are on the way back. I’m up fighting and standing, Lord Yah Keep Giving Us Strength.
She was special ❤I worked with her in 1987 classy lady ❤
It didn't start with her, and neither has it ended with her. The struggle started way before Lena, and she was one who was able to maneuver through some of it. She opened doors for many who came who came after her. The strength that she possessed was also something that should be respected for. She carried herself in a respectful manner and helped up and comming black actors. She wasn't afraid to speak out for civil rights . When one wants to demean or deminish the struggles of the past just look at what those in the present are doing for the next generations.
This lady was very beautiful! However no matter how light skinned, them folks treated her As any other dark skinned actor.
They treated her bad but she did get more privilege. The dark skin women had the mammy roles.
So sad we’re still falling for the “Divide and Conquer”
America and the world was built on it (D + C)
Same Old Sh*t. R.I.P. Lena
Explained the negative rep I learned as a child. It was all a lie and nefarious. Same game being played today for the same reason--hatred of black folks.
Wow they are still doing this. Nicki Minaj wouldn't have sign 360 deal. Since they can't make money off of her. Just like they put out lies claiming that she wanted to be the only one, when they designed it that way, and jar been doing for so long. Then everyone started hating her. Yesterday ’s arrest” was all an attempt to ruin her 38 sold out shows. Since they can't get a cut of that your, they start rumors and negative write ups. It's indeed lonely at the top. People don't know this history, so they don't believe her. They treated her just like they did Lena Horn. It will be someone new some day.
I've always loved Ms Horne and in death she iconic beautiful black women,thank you .
Fight always for ur worth bc they will use u up and move on to the next victim and quiet is kept, of course though blackmail tactics as the code goes.
Sad truth
You’re not handling me I’ll handle you
Still today nothing has changed only gotten worse for anyone in that industry sad shame but.
Cicily Tyson and Lena Horne were my grandfather favorites...and my grandmother was somewhere in between and the love of his life...it taught me how beautiful we are from the lightest to the darkest of us..
That wasn't Lena in that Cosby clip. Looks like singer Nancy Wilson 10:03
That is Nancy Wilson (heading down the basement stairs with Phylicia Rashad; The Cosby Show)!
I loved her voice
The same thing is happened to me Ruben, Diaz Junior invited me to attend an event, and when I Shunned him at the event , because he had no business inviting to He blackballed me and is still targeting me because I didn’t play the game as his photographer told me when I requested my photos from the event that I met the district attorney of the Bronx and was photographed with .please FBI and CIA get Ruben , He’s no good , and you see the no good mayor had the nerve to employ him!! He should not be allowed to work again along with the Mayor!!!!
Such hatred because of skin colour. It’s hard to get your head around why these people felt comfortable treating others so abysmally.
What's crazy to me is that none of these black entertainers had to do any of this crap...I mean the entire entertainment foolishness...it's not like everyone was doing this... so this was sick all around.
This is a great Video. This brings back painful memories which I have been enduring. My relationship of 5 years ended 3 months ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
I am sorry about what you have been through. I have been through something similar and was almost depressed, till I contacted a spiritual counsellor who helped me get my ex back and hence my life back
Interesting. Who is this counsellor, and how do I meet the person?
Online, you'll find. Maurice Gleti, revered for her expertise as a spiritual counsellor. She has the ability to reunite couples and promote holistic well-being
Thanks a lot. I just did. Impressive.
Pray to God about your situation and let him work it out for you.
Star Goddess....
Say yes is true that word is evil 😢😢😢
It’s true
A true Delta 🐘
Black people always excepted Lena, always ❤ she's one of our heroes. She was very active in the Civil rights movement get your facts straight

Her desire has yet to materialize.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED YT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS OF US.
01:11 I preferred her original nose.
I never forget my first Summer job I went to register, at Old lady of Silas, in Coney Island, and being that my birth certificate, doesn’t have any race on it. They tried to put me as Latin, I quickly bought that to their attention, and that they forged my signature., I’m a colored ,one of God chicken

Love Lena Horne, of the great artists of the 20th century. But the comments are so shallow and uncritical-----only concerned with her "beauty" and that she "doesnt look Black" shows that we havent made much progress in the 21st century. Lena was a very angry woman in Middle age and I understand why. It took more years before she could Reconcile and let go of all the Rage..
WHO is 📈 profiting from this video?
So what were the dying words.CLICKBAIT
She didn't look black , she could pass as other races
Honestly she looked like a WHOLE VANILLA woman without the darker makeup 🤷🤷🤷
Check out the book that her daughter wrote about the Horne family roots.
She look Black to me it's just one of our many phenotypes
Stop...so disrespectful to this great lady.
Omg look at Louis Armstrong's facial expression while he's dancing with Lena. Is he in heat or some kind of psychotic stalker?😂 1:42
That's Bill 'Bogangles' Robinson. And back then most black men had to put on those wide eyed exaggerated looks for the films they were in.....
@@ladyjae65lmao. No that's not Bojangles, that's Louie Armstrong and that was ALWAYS his expression no matter what he was doing lol
@@punkanelliefonkbush8811that is Bojangles,Louis Armstrong had a widow peak
Native-americans!?
I never listen to people who claim they fight for black rights but they are married to white man
That is a long reach. Sorry
That would make since if Lena had more black genetics or was more black looking, but obviously she wasn't! Lena's parents were mixed themselves with a lot of European genetics,
due to slavery. Now with that being said back in those days I bet you didn't know that black men where forbidden to date/marry women with Lena's complextion, so naturally they were afraid to date women who looked like Lena! Do you think that didn't effect Lena's mind as well, making her feel as though she wasn't black enough! That being said you're judging her intentions harshly, just because Lena was naturally attracted to what she looked like genetically doesn't make her hate the other half of herself. Many biracial people are unduly burden with black and white issues that leave them having to choose sides when it comes to who they marry. I hope this helps you understand a bit more about the circumstances biracial people face in this world, especially in America. I can't believe after all you heard in this documentary you still feel like Lena's intentions are suspect....like what the hell could she gain from putting her neck out for ungreatful azz black people, when she could have just passed and been done with black problems!
😂
Bhh shh made a living out of it
She sacrificed so much. I'm glad she was strong. Many were forced out of the bussiness, some were killed, and some were forced to endure humiliation, and your response is one of denial by saying she earned a living. She but many others who could and should have were prevented . This isn't about 1 person it's about a group from the past to the future. They say they don't like don't like homosexuality but they promote it . They say they are against racism but they promote negative characterizations of other groups while hidding the historical truth of their own .
@@williamanderson1091 I'm a fan of hers even had her portrait endow my hm ; well written bhh its self evident " it start w one person" in my respect. A lot of dem cry a river after they made their cheddar....as fine as she was.
@@williamanderson1091 speak for yourself
If you don't like engaging in dialog keep your racists feelings to yourself.
@williamanderson1091 it is you who can't take dialog that's not in line with your narrowness, I'm not your child, seek mental assistanc.
