I have great respect and admiration for Mr. Belafonte. He has served as an intelligent and consistent voice for not only those marginalized by our society, but with real clarity on his vision of the Truth -- no matter how inconvenient it might be for himself.

Some people dislike him for this. Even DUers who might have liked him in the Civil Rights era -- and younger ones, who have only read about those days -- will respond negatively to the message of the OP today. In fact, we see that already, in attempts to marginalize his message, because -- after all -- he is merely a celebrity.

But we know he is much, much more than that. And we celebrate his vision of truth and social justice.
