Harry Belafonte dead at 96

[HisArpy]

He was the mayor of Cincinnati

So, what exactly is political about his death? Or Belafonte's death?

Is dying something that can be legislated against? And is there a controversy surrounding that legislation? Is it that MAGA Republican's don't want to die and those evil Democrats want everyone to die? Or vice/versa?

Or maybe we can all pretend that we switched death identities. Those who don't want to be considered dead can now identify as living and vice/versa.

Still not a political topic.

Belafonte and Springer both had political careers.

It's like he's wrong every. Single. Time.

About. Everything.

Your ability to argue about the topic makes it a perfect fit for politics. You guys will argue about literally anything.

Matlock could've just sat there and ate his food, but he just needed to say something in order to have a win for the week.

and now he's stuck in the loop of the sunk cost fallacy. If he can just keep posting and running out the clock, the win is there, within his reach.

Why would simply recognising the death of a man who campaigned for Black people's rights across the globe upset CarbonHarpy so much...?

...oh.

Right.

 

[TrailerHitch]

Sad news, he was both a very talented actor and singer. He broke through barriers and was recognized for his abilities.

Rest In Peace.

Jerry Springer died too. He was 79.

He was an interesting man who developed an entirely new genre of tv talk show. I'll admit to watching at times and I most often found it entertaining.

Rest In Peace.

Dead celebrities aren't a political topic.

The leftist lunatics like Rory always tout the cliche ‘ you’re measured as a person by the company you keep’. Harry was a close friend of Hugo Chavez which is right in line with progressive Marxist, socialist authoritarians like Rory, Laz, Coati and a few other lit lunes.

The chair throwing and baby daddy drama was definitely shocking tv. He seemed more sleazy than interesting. I don’t think his cause of death has been released, not that it matters.

Newsflash rorbags: No one really cares.

Oh dear - looks like people do care.

Loosely valid. He hasn't been involved in politics for half a century.

I think you could make a case for Jerry being the godfather of degenerate tv and the beginning of the decline of morality. People watched the “less educated, lower class, trailer trash” settle arguments with fists and hair pulling instead of reason. It was entertaining and people paid attention. I could state the obvious about how this applies today, but I won’t.

He was an entertainer/celebrity. Not political. Same with Belafonte.

Many celebrities have political views they express and may even have friends that are in politics. That doesn't make them political.

Yeah - Harry went waaaay beyond that in politics. You should read up on him.

He was arguably the "seed" individual who married entertainment and politics. That not only makes him political, but a key figure as such.

That someone else "cares" doesn't mean that I do.

Go back to whoring for attention on the GB.

"Anything" isn't "politics."

rorbags posted the celeb death obit in politics. Death isn't political even if the man was known for his politics.

 

[RoryN]

...which doesn't matter, because you claimed no one cared. Oops.

I see you're trying to ride my popularity again. Good strategy.

Your problem is that you don't understand slang and then attempt to disprove slang by finding the one exception and proclaiming it to be the rule.

Basically, all you've done is prove you're a dipshit gasbag. Not that we didn't already know that.

 

[RoryN]

blah blah slang blah blah semantics

Fail.

Your problem is that

Your problem is that you've been obsessed with me for years because a: I always make you look like a fool, and b: without me, you aren't nearly as relevant here. Facts.

Prove me wrong: put me on iggy, don't come into my threads, don't respond or refer to me. It wouldn't be hard for you, would it? Hmm? *chuckle*

Poor widdle rorbags, still trying to tell people what to do and getting all angry inside when they don't bother.
