Harry Belafonte Wants To Meet With Jay-Z & Beyonce

I was wondering where the comments that Jay-Z made about Harry Belafonte in a recent interview were coming from……this is what he told the Hollywood Reporter:

THR: Are you happy with the image of members of minorities in Hollywood today?
Belafonte: Not at all. They have not told the history of our people, nothing of who we are. We are still looking. We are not determinated. We are not driven by some technology that says you can kill Afghans, the Iraqis or the Spanish. It is all — excuse my French — shit. It is sad. And I think one of the great abuses of this modern time is that we should have had such high-profile artists, powerful celebrities. But they have turned their back on social responsibility. That goes for Jay-Z and Beyonce, for example. Give me Bruce Springsteen, and now you’re talking. I really think he is black.

Now, he has stated in a new interview with MSNBC (where he appeared to speak on the Dream Defenders movement, as well as Florida’s Stand Your Ground law) that he would like to meet with the Hip-Hop couple to speak on the disconnect.
