[@alondakennedy1725]

Now This is the way a person of such caliber should be honored in such poignant way and in their own words. Rest In Peace sir. Thank You for courage.

[@Thebrothaisback]

Like Betty white, he seemed like someone who would never die.

[@DevilDogDen1775]

OMG..... What an INCREDIBLE actor and human being.... Every character he portrayed was done with humble dignity and raw humanity..... A terrible loss.... 💔

[@Riogi]

So true and well said.

[@yvonnewitherspoon846]

Sympathy and condolences are extended to his family and friends. He was truly an honorable man and pioneer. RIP Mr. Poitier

[@R-L-I]

This is top notch acting right here, one of many, many performances you’ve given us over the years that will last a lifetime, you will be missed RIP Mr. Poitier.

[@milesandcoffee]

Sidney Poitier opened doors for a lot of actors! He was truly a trailblazer! He will be missed!

[@jhhehhshh]

The world has lost an incredible talent. He had a stare that could pierce directly through your soul, but the way they softened in the split second was so warm and heartwrenching.

[@ElleBrOw]

Good afternoon reelblack 🙋🏽‍♀️ Was just on another platform that mentioned the oldest WWII veteran, our brother Mr Lawrence Brooks passed away at the ripe age of 112🥀

[@irislewis2390]

My heart is heavy! Mr. Sidney Poitier has always been my favorite actor of all time. I've seen EVERYTHING that he has ever done, watching over and over and over again. The only actor I would be star struck over!! He is truly a gem to the acting world and will surely be missed 😢...My deepest condolences to his family!!🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@stedye]

Man I am numbed . A friend sent this to me and I literally lost my train of thought. What a great man . RIP Sir Sydney .

Rip! I just heard now. Condolences and blessings to this man. I hope we get to see more of his daughter holding down his legacy she is great. 🙏

Such a phenomenal actor this man was. Legends never die. My his soul live on forever…

[@MrResearcher122]

RIP To my Caribbean elder-always saw ''Benin in'' him. My Mum read his biography before she died in 2020, and it was the last book she read. She liked to say along with my sister, 'He was raised on Cat Island, in Bahamas...' and she said it tenderly.

[@usmale4915]

I always liked Sidney Poitier, he was one of the greatest actors. I've seen so many of his movies I think I like "To Sir, With Love" the best, but "A Patch Of Blue" is also excellent! So sorry for his loss and just one week after the death of Betty White. Thank you for sharing!

[@ladymonet7756]

Condolences and prayers for the family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 RIP

@Sam Cassel w/ One L i agree.

[@furrymonkeything]

This is the man that blasted the course for the distinguished black actor. God rest his soul. He lived a full life and he is from the Caribbean. All that follow look to him. From the Denzel to Damson's. Impossible to list them all here.

Not really.He was given opportunities because he wasn't ADOS,but when Hollywood cut him loose who saved him.......Bill Cosby

Thank you, Sir! This hits me pretty deeply; one of my first childhood heroes on the big screen! Your example will carry on!

[@origamipig]

Oh no, Rest in Peace Mr Poitier . One of the finest actors that ever lived. I loved pretty much every film he was in especially Blackboard Jungle when he was really young. It’s a very sad day 😢

[@stephanyryans5428]

Aww Sidney, Sidney, Sidney my favorite actor the best is going to be missed I watch his movies every month 😢

[@yellolab09]

God, it seems like just yesterday when I saw this incredible scene in the theater. And ohhh, Sidney! You came to us with such grace and artistry - never considering a role that was not FIT for REAL LIVE Black folk. Like MLK, Malcolm, and so many others...your 'quiet calm on the outside and that fierce strength on the inside' drew us towards our better selves. You could have possibly misunderstood that natural, gentle, open West Indian smile... and underestimated those teeth, at your peril. My dad's side was Jamaican-American. I KNOW this quality well. Thank You ReelBlack, for carrying the journey forward; reminding us to do the same. Rest in Peace Sidney, May we meet at the other side of the Mystery

[@ameliacrosland7458]

Condolences to Family 💐💐

[@blackenpowerment0140]

Thanks for kicking open doors for us. Rest in power, brother.🙏🏿

[@BeautifulDreamerK]

I happen to watch this movie as I was flipping through channels as a kid. This scene really moved me. You wouldn’t think so but as an Asian girl growing up in the US with immigrant parents, it hit hard. This movie and Sidney’s acting had such an impact on me. RIP Good sir 👑

[@justice2011]

My heart is heavy hearing about Sidney Poitier passing. He will surely be missed. May he Rest in the Arms of Our Heavenly Father 💕.
