Thread Name: Harry Belafonte on L.K. show. Amazing!
Subject: RE: Harry Belafonte on L.K. show. Amazing!
Yeah, Claymore, upper class... And I'm wonderin' who the first person was to instruct "Condi" in her blackness, or heck, any of the folks in the midddle before Harry Belafonte got his turn at the plate? She's whiter than white. She does not represent but only the upper of the upper class of African Americans and does not speak for Black folks.

Yeah, don't believe my white butt. Take yourself on out into the real world and ask some real black folk what they think. You're gonna get a lot of Herry Belafonte responses.

I'm a blues player and, thus, I know a lot of black folks. Actually, thinking back on my life, I've spent a lot more of my life with black folks than white folks. Not that I have anything against white folks, mind you, but I would go as far as to say that I can go to places where "Condi" would be scared half out of her mind. So what Harry Belafonte says represents not only *his* feelings but those of a large majority of black folks in general.
