Harry Belafonte is at it again. After calling Colin Powell a "house slave" on Larry King in 2002, he provides an encore performance, referring to African-American officials in the Bush Administration as "black tyrants" and comparing the administration to Nazi Germany. Then comedian Dick Gregory tried out some of his new routine, calling the United States "the most dishonest, ungodly, unspiritual nation that ever existed in the history of the planet." But, don't dare question his patriotism.
These people have nothing serious to say--nothing to add to the national dialogue. They've just become bitter old men with declining influence among anybody that matters. If this is where the "civil rights" movement is headed, I think the country would be better served if they just folded up their tents and went home.
