According to entertainer Harry Belafonte, all right-wing voters are racist. First of all, Belafonte hasn’t exactly been relevant since the ’60s. Because of his recent endorsement of Bernie Sanders, the media has suddenly remembered he exists. In a recent interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, he said that the election of President Obama shocked a lot of racist forces in this country, and by racist, he meant anybody who did not vote for him.
From that comment, Belafonte went on to say the “right-wing movement” in America has gerrymandered voting districts and once again put black people at the doorstep, creating new racist definitions and practices. He ten claimed that what was achieved in the Civil Rights Movement has now been reversed.
Belafonte was a part of the original Civil Rights Movement and a friend of Martin Luther King Jr. The Civil Rights Movement hasn’t been reversed, it’s been steamrolled and formed into something void of any remnants of Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks. Instead of equality, it’s become a movement for superiority.

Obama is not a black man, he is half and half but he choses to ignore the white half that helped raise him.
The POTUS did that job on purpose!

Oh blow it out your ass
I am 57 and never ever gave consideration to the color of ones skin. Unfortunately the several past years have given me sadness. Since when is it okay to cry about color and now want segregation returned. It is a shame for those that of us that have moved on to be color blind, to now be accused of being racist. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Life was much nicer when we all knew ..we are human, we all bleed red, we were American , and we all needed each other.
obummer has divided America more than it has been for decades
The libs are desperate to bring back racism.
this guy is clueless … obummer himself set relations back …. way back … so sad
Thug
