Thank you for sharing your journey Harry, you have been a inspiration to me and I'll always remember you this way, congratulations on this Dr. Martin Luther King Day 2021 and counting.
Salute to a fearless, selfless, unapologetic freedom fighter
Absolutely riveting. This is a man who stood up in himself. So the world stood up for him.
❤ ríp. May I be able to take what you’ve taught us and spread this message in any way shape or form. I love you.
I knew basically nothing about him, other than the fact that he was the guy who sang Day-O and I decided, on a whim, to look up "Harry Belafonte interview."
Let's just say this won't be the last time I look that up.
Rest in peace💜
Such a decent, honourable man: beautiful face, beautiful voice, beautiful mind. Now go and listen to him sing "My Island in the Sun".
A soft spoken and wise man.👍
RIP.
2020 and yet things haven’t changed
Never forgotten, may we all learn from your example, and from all those who fought and stiĺl fight with dignity, immense courage and intelligence, to reach the rights and freedom they were born with, and deprived by mean system and people, with no dignity and sense of what truly makes a human
Harry Belafonte is a wonderful man.😁
Beautifull man!
Damn. RIP to this man. Sad day🙏🏽
Speak 🙌🏾😍❤️
Great man 🌹❤️🍀
Right On
Sleep well Comrade you used your time well.
😢
Eartha Kitt shared in her book "Confessions of a Sex Kitten" regarding her encounter with Harry:
"During the time I was at the Village Vanguard I met Harry Belafonte. I thought he was very handsome and someone I would have liked to get to know better, but at the time our relationship remained quite formal. He seemed to busy catching little white flies, as he proved to me later in Philadelphia where, getting up from my bed, he said, 'I don't want you to take this seriously. No black woman can do anything for me.' There went my heart right into my feet." Eartha Kitt
Damn.
Still, sex and romance are two areas of human existence where reason plays no part.
Aren't men great? Wow! Oh, well, it's a warning, I guess. I've behaved just as atrociously, I think. I regret it.
This is one intelligent man
He is a fraud
R.I.P., nearly the last of his generation.
❤
Harry Belafonte: "come Mr tally man tally me banana daylight come and me wan go home"
Also Harry Belafonte:
The lion hearted rebel
Really smart man Day o
😢
He did not like black women.
RIP
That was a great man, a man that lived for purpose and left indelible marks in the sand of time, for justice, for the cause of Christ.
He almost look like Black Panther Hue Newton
Belafonte was the real deal...
What remarkable, thoughtful human being. He did so much for human relations, particularly in a time when it was life threatening. Sadly this is still the case. It perplexes me that the majority of people don’t realize that everyone is the same worthy of love and respect and they want to belong, love their families and friends. I particularly appreciate Mr Belafonte’s thoughts about the distortion that the war machine and global corporate interests see people as fodder for their machinations.
me say day
day aye aye o
I thought he had a caribbean voice!
Very resentful of the white man for this reason: He is capable.
He claims that he was born in Harlem then why does he have an English accent?
He said he grew up in Harlem and live under the British colonialism of the West Indies so that’s why he has a English accent
@@jacobholley6181 nice try
@@summertummer2394 no you just dumb .. listen to what he’s saying .. if you understand geography and culture you’d have more of a better look at it
@@summertummer2394 yeah sure
@@cloudnegativenine Where do you live?
He is racist against black women. He's a self hater. He told Eartha Kitt, his lover at the time, there was nothing a black woman could do for him. How dare he cry because he's discriminated against
Sex and romance are complicated. I'm only really romantically attracted to women who are white and blonde (like myself), and yet I love people of all "races" and colors in life in general.
Does that make me a terrible racist? Maybe. It is what it is.
He is a sexy b man
