  • In this clip from 1967, American singer and social activist Harry Belafonte talks about racism, patriotism and war. Belafonte was one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s confidants, and a big supporter of the anti-apartheid movement. He has won three Grammy Awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award. He is perhaps best known for singing 'The Banana Boat Song', with its signature lyric "Day-O". For more classic clips, go to www.cbc.ca/arch...

    I knew basically nothing about him, other than the fact that he was the guy who sang Day-O and I decided, on a whim, to look up "Harry Belafonte interview."
    Let's just say this won't be the last time I look that up.

    Eartha Kitt shared in her book "Confessions of a Sex Kitten" regarding her encounter with Harry:
    "During the time I was at the Village Vanguard I met Harry Belafonte. I thought he was very handsome and someone I would have liked to get to know better, but at the time our relationship remained quite formal. He seemed to busy catching little white flies, as he proved to me later in Philadelphia where, getting up from my bed, he said, 'I don't want you to take this seriously. No black woman can do anything for me.' There went my heart right into my feet." Eartha Kitt

    What remarkable, thoughtful human being. He did so much for human relations, particularly in a time when it was life threatening. Sadly this is still the case. It perplexes me that the majority of people don’t realize that everyone is the same worthy of love and respect and they want to belong, love their families and friends. I particularly appreciate Mr Belafonte’s thoughts about the distortion that the war machine and global corporate interests see people as fodder for their machinations.

      Sex and romance are complicated. I'm only really romantically attracted to women who are white and blonde (like myself), and yet I love people of all "races" and colors in life in general.
      Does that make me a terrible racist? Maybe. It is what it is.
