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.

a half white black man has set relations back by doing a crappy job

Give me a break ! White people helped elect him!
Another liberal racist.
Belafonte is spot on. But you should know some history. I wrote this President day Because Obama is not the first black man to be Elected President. On this President day, how much do we remember or was actually taught in school and they really should be corrected this. John Hancock was the first president of the Continental Congress he wrote Articles of Confederation the first elected first President Continental CongressIn November 1781, John Hanson became the first President of the United States in Congress Assembled, under the Articles of Confederation. Many people have argued that John Hanson, and not George Washington, was the first President of the United States. We might want to look at the names on the US Constitution a little more closely. Their story in America history is much larger then what they are credited for. So How many presidents were there before George Washington?
14 Presidents Before George Washington and 7 Black Presidents Before Barack Obama. Transcript. If the Declaration of Independence was 1776 and the Constitution was 1789, and if George Washington’s first term started in 1789, who was the leader of the United States for 13 years between 1776 and 1789?
Treason for obumba. Treason.Take back our country.
Harry Belafonte has always been racist against whites..
God bless America amen
Time to stop playing your race cards. He was elected by all races and it has nothing to do with his race why he was elected and has nothing to do with his race why he is doing a shitty job. There is no race issue other then the one that it is calling every thing said are done racist. It is that person that can not see pass their race to see the really issues and it is getting out of hand and down right stupid. Look past your race look at it as an Amercan why of life. If you are an Amercan then stand as an Amercan and stop using race as your back bone for your issue. It is not the race doing it is system and fixing the system is more important then hurt feelings.
