RIP, glad he got all is flowers while alive. Him and his other contemporary greats are why any Black actors have prominence today.

Rest in peace to a legend. Brotha sacrificed a lot for black folks. I mentioned on here how he flew down to Mississippi and was ambushed and chased by Klans members on the way to delivering money to black folks in the civil rights movement.

Yes Sir. You educated about this during the era where members and mods were running in here repeating false stories. You also corrected people in other threads, about the late Dic.k Gregory and you mentioned how he risked his life on the frontlines of the CRM.

Despite the corrections, people went right back to repeating the same ignorant takes.

 

[Vice Queen]

May he rest in power

TLR has and def would have called this man a c00n or bedbuck, tether, non-FBA or whatever else dumbass title they like on here

[Justin Nitsuj]

RIP to a real legend.

 

[NoirDynosaur]

One of the greatest black exponents of all time!!!

Covering the expenses for MLK

Dodging the KKK when racism was at its boiling point

Having black leaders congregate together at his home

So much achievements this brotha went through

Rest in power brotha Belafonte you’ll dearly be missed. Legacy lives on. Much salute

You right, fam. There are some people who are very different but occupy the same space in my head. Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, and Duane Jones mentally swap places sometimes for what they did.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Damn. 96 is long as hell. Most people don't make it past 85 so he lived a long life and did a lot. RIP to the man.

 

[TEH]

Rest in peace

He was the Billy Dee and the Denzel of his day.

 

[International S.]

I hope I make it to that age, RIP
