Growing up in Harlem and spending time in his mother’s home country of Jamaica, Harry Belafonte lived around the poverty in home place. However, the obstacles and experiences he got on his life at young age helped motivate Belafonte’s activist spirits. “I was born into a world that was absent of social justice,” he told Reuters in an interview. Harry Belafonte recently added his voice to the choir of liberals and many Americans who are dissatisfied with Cain’s point of view about on race and American equality.

The 84-year-old activist and entertainer couldn’t hold to spread his words of discontent on Herman Cain: “…they’re heroes for some people (referred to Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell). But for a lot of us, they’re not. Herman Cain is just the latest incarnation of what is totally false for the needs of our community and the needs of our nation. I think he’s a bad apple. And people should look at his hole card. He’s not what he says he is.” Cain has aroused controversy across the U.S due to his recent comments. Previously he called black voters “brainwashed” and recently he denied racism as a factor in black lives. He has drawn the fury of the likes of actor Morgan Freeman and now Belafonte to counter him.
