I never liked him. I'm not mourning anything. I don't know of any civil rights that he was fighting for. Cynthia g. Youtube expose these men pathology and fake civil rights movement.
A quote from legendary actress Eartha Kitt: " I was married to Bill McDonald in 1960. People would say âWhy didnât you marry a
Blackman?â I would replyâbecause the
whitegirls had them!â The men I wanted to be with, Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, dated predominatlywhitewomen. Iâm talking about the 50s. Harry Belfonte picks me up out of his bed in Philadelphia and said: âI donât want you to take me seriously because noBlackwoman can do anything for meâ. I could not help him to progress into where he was going to go. âAblackwoman would hold ablackman backâ, thatâs what he told me. If I wanted to marry ablackman there wasnât one because thewhitegirls had them."AUGUST 25, 2016
Belafonte, Charlamagne tha God and Rev. Al Sharpton have all come out to support Nate Parker against what they feel is a smear campaign to âkeep the
blackman down.â Many more have come to the same defense, especially otherblackmen, but those three are the most prominent. Â Whether they know this or not, their attempts to do as much as they can to support theblackman is even more damaging to many victims of rpe and sxual assault.He was a severe critic of Barack Obama.
Who?
He was talented, an activist, and a trailblazer who will be missed. I'm thankful for his life and prayer and condolences go out to his family đđ
No, they don't.
BRAZIL LOVE HIM.
