In reply to the discussion: Harry Belafonte Says Obama Lacks "Moral Compass" [View all]countryjake
(8,554 posts)For years they've been firing attacks at our prez, smarmy barbs of "commie-pinko", "terrorist-loving", "reverse-racism". Now, suddenly they are confronted with this wise, warranted criticism of a leader they despise because of the color of his skin...whatever shall they do? Agree, repeat, and stand with Harry? Just wait til they find out exactly what Mr. Belafonte stands for and has fought for throughout his entire life! Their ignorance is my bliss!
I cannot wait to shove this right back down the throats of the bastardly bigots who would undo every Civil Rights-related act, if they were given half a chance.
Thank you, Mr. Belafonte!
President Obama would be wise to weigh those words carefully and try to reach an understanding of why the honest people of this nation feel so disappointed, desperate. History can make Obama, too, if only he allows it to.
