Wow, he has finally joined his good friend Sydney Portier on the other side.

He featured on the USA for Africa song "We are the World"

Harry Belafonte invited her to the US to perform and she went there, but the Apartheid Government of South Africa revoked her passport. Many African countries offered her citizenship and Belafonte helped her in the US. She performed on the Ed Sullivan Show and she also performed before President Kennedy. She was ill when she performed in front of President Kennedy, so she went back to her hotel immediately afterwards, but the President wanted to meet her, so Harry Belafonte sent a car to go and bring her back.

When he was fighting apartheid and racism, what were your Pastors doing?
Talking of Jesus Christ, are you aware that the Church of England was actively involved in slavery?
Many Christian figures held and owned slaves. Is slavery good and is it that they didn't know Jesus?

Open your Bible and read what true religion means. It is not building cathedrals, driving luxury cars and giving fake prophesies.

Oh no! Quite touching!!

"Mary's boy child..", one of my favorite songs of all time. That particular verse; "Oh my Lord, you sent your son to save us.. So praise the Lord, he's the king forever.."...

Who told you he sang this song. You are daft…

,

You've gone round to the same starting point - Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ did not, did not show the example to, did not send anyone, did not inspire, did not approve that -
▪men build cathedrals and palaces and castles for GOs, Bishops, Venerables or Missionaries
▪men should drive luxury cars in His name and get them by His name
▪men should make or give false prophesies in His name or for His name
▪Christians in any century or generation should have slaves
▪people should segregate and be involved in apartheid
▪Christians should be racists or ribalists or bigots

It's like blaming Atlantic ocean for the death of those whose car plunged into Ethiope river or River Cross or Lagos lagoon! There is no correlation. Last weekend my friend's phone was stolen and the fraudster sent us messages asking we send money cause he has stranded. He opened a palmpay account with my friend's names. So a number of us paid to help him. Only for us to find out that he was not the one. Now are you going to blame my friend for the activities of the fraudster? The fraudster used his name and stolen phone. So many people are fraudulently using the most holy name of Jesus Christ to commit and perpetuate and preach and celebrate sin. But do you blame Jesus Christ? Oh you want Him to silence and annihilate all them false preachers and followers? Hmmm then you go accuse am say Him no get mercy.

I love Harry Belafonte and His songs, just like Sidney Poitier and Martin Luther King Jr. But the best prayer we can ever offer to God for ourselves, our loved ones and men like these is that we, they be saved by the blood of Jesus. If not all our works, good works, civil rights agitation, songs, movies, and theirs will only be for this life

shocked he didnt like black women though.
I will never understand how a black person will say they are fighting for black people's right, then go marry the daughter of the oppressor they claim they are fighting against.

Was it Jesus Christ who was the slave owner or was it the wicked men who claimed they were Christians when they were sins of Belial, that owned the slaves?

Your history books call William Wilberforce a humanitarian and an abolitionist. But he was a mega slave owner!

Jesus is pure. The men are the liars and the wicked ones.

I grew up listening to his songs. They were always like a drama, very entertaining even as a kid. Back then when music was about lyrics and voice not now that its about mumbling & beats. Soon we'll be listen to AI music!!

Both his parents were of mixed race, thats were he got his looks, best of both worlds.

RIP.

Black American women come with too much baggage and drama. Just like Naija women who are only after money!
