    He was a amazing human being! Adorable and so upright and intelligent! It is so hard too understand that a people with so many fantastic artists ,loyars and musicians could be so oppressed by such disgraceful and stupid ideas that apartheid really is...but his life alone has really won over this embarrassment of mindset.

    If I could pick anyone to speak with at this moment living or deceased, it would be him. I have so much respect and admiration for him.

    There is no other person in the world that I admired more than Mr. Belafonte. I remember an interview with him in Minneapolis and in the end the guy next to me said, "Why don't we hear more from this man - he is so incredibly wise". I had to explain his history and the corporate media black balling of him during the Bush Administration.

      Yeah, I kinda figured out the point of Obama’s anger translator. In Black culture you do not talk back to or argue with elders and old heads. That would not have been a good look for the POTUS😂

    He says a lot of interesting things. “Every generation will have to be responsible for itself.“ I suppose that was a what Paul Robeson said. Things are better in America because these gentlemen sacrificed a lot to make it so. I hope the new generation understands that. As for the essence of life that he mentions, I believe that that has no color. If it did have a color how could harry Bellafonte sing The song ‘Danny boy?’ There’s a live recording of him singing the song and in my personal opinion it’s the best recording. That might be strange to some, in the same way it’s very strange that the best live recording of ‘old man river’ is sung by Frank Sinatra. But the fine tuned Human spirit of artists have no color. Would that we would all realize that ourselves. And that is that.
