Harry Belafonte Says Jay-Z & Beyonce Have "Turned Their Backs On Social Responsiblity" Champions Bruce Springsteen "I Really Think He Is Black"

Harry Belafonte has blasted Beyoncé and Jay-Z in a new interview, accusing the couple of "turning their back on social responsibility." The American singer and activist told The Hollywood Reporter that the celebrity pair haven't done enough for minorities in Hollywood. Belafonte even told the publication that he thinks Bruce Springsteen does more than Beyoncé and Jay-Z have ever done.

Asked if he is "happy with the image of members of minorities in Hollywood today." Belafonte replied: "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 -- sh*t. 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 Beyoncé, for example. Give me Bruce Springsteen, and now you’re talking. I really think he is black."
