Mr. Belafonte's life journey is a treasure for humanity. Thank you sir for everything you have done for us. In honor of Mr. Belafonte and the late great Ed Bradley for this wonderful profile.

[@jcextranow]

Whoever posted this back onto KZbin, I truly applaud you because he has given so much to the world of civil rights and should be celebrated forever. I enjoyed this interview when he went back home to Jamaica and gave his true appeal to the residents of his homeland especially his aunt who saw his greatness. She herself had longevity and so did he.

[@malcolmxpanther]

I think they took away the music and posted again. The original video was 13 minutes

Dude, his voice sounds synthesized. Sounds like 2 people talking in sync. Crazy.

[@JSB1882]

I have every album of Mr. Belafonte's but it's humanitarianism that means most to me. There is a great line that ties into this interview from "All In the Family" when Archie tells Meathead that - "Everyone knows that Belafonte isn't Black". If you think of it - he recorded a Calypso album in White 1956 that became the first album to ever sell one million copies.

[@kinghere29]

Always loved this guy

Why did 60 Minutes delete the original video ?

[@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961]

I don't think KZbin was even a thing when the original interview was created.

[@malcolmxpanther]

@youtubeyoutubeyoutube they posted the day he passed and took down the next day and now posted again after cutting five minutes of it

He played the role of Jackie Robinson as well

[@andreanaylor4773]

I'm 32. I grew up as a white girl with white parents. My dad was my step dad who served in veit Nam. He has over 5000 records. Ingrew up listening to everything. Every kind of music. I was raised to appreciate people for their accomplishments. It's hard for people to understand white people who grew up not knowing we were white. It's not until the last 10 years I realized how some people view me as a white person. I've never felt I was white. I was a person. And I've always loved people. Not sure what's so hard to understand about that

Hi hi

[@jeffjacobson59]

The more people talk about race the more different we appear. When we stop talking about race and treat each other equally, the world changes. Problem is ego and greed. Lots of black people only care about getting free s!it from the government. Where is my free sh!t when the Romans fed my ancestors to lions? We don’t owe anyone anything. Generations are responsible for the previous. Once people get that through their thick heads, problems go away. Let’s all stop being greedy and love one another.

[@jeffjacobson59]

Generations are NOT responsible
