Well…Harry Belafonte has just marginalized himself again.  Herman Cain is a plain-speaking carrier of conservative values, and that’s what left-leaning members of the Democratic Party and of course Hollywood, can’t abide.  Here’s Belafonte’s remarks while guesting on everyone’s favorite talk show to miss, “The Joy Behar Show”:

BELAFONTE:

“Well, you know, it’s very hard to comment on somebody who is so denied intelligence

Cain Is The Future, Belafonte Is The Past

and certainly someone who is as denied a view of history such as he reveals. He knows very little,” said Belafonte.
“Because he happened to have had good fortune, because he happened to have had a moment when he broke through – the moment someone blinked – does not make him the authority on the plight of people of color.”

Belafonte pointed to the disproportionate number of African Americans who are imprisoned or unemployed as proof against Cain’s statement. And he went on to say that Cain just isn’t the type of politician that the black community needs.

“The Republican party, the tea party, all those forces to the extreme right have consistently tried to come up with representations for what they call black, what they call the real Negroes,” he said, naming former Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell as examples. “They’re heroes for some people. 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.”

The fact is…Herman Cain represents the future for the African American community, Belafonte represents the Past.  Meanwhile Joy Behar serves up another homerun for the Left!
