I mean- I don't let Poitier comments about Island and African people bother me that much. It did at first but, I know what's the truth and we all suffer from the white man reign.
He's defending his AA people. Let him defend his people. If you have a problem with him- just ignore his post or send out a private message. He seems like a reasonable man if you come to him nicely.
LOL, I was just about to post something similar.
@Poitier seems to be educated and passionate. He is also quick to defend his tribe, which I also respect. Could he go about his argument a little better when it comes to the black race, I think so.. But who am I to tell that man how to live his life? His comments about africans and caribbeans are just him trolling people who get easily riled up. Does he believe it? Maybe? But deep down, I don't believe he does. Who knows? LOL
