The Conversation: James Earl Jones

[Smiley and West]

Legendary actor James Earl Jones talks about his Tony-nominated performance in Gore Vidal's The Best Man, as well as his fear of doing interviews.

Thank you for sharing another wonderful conversation. 

James Earl Jones, a former mute and stutterer, intoned, with grace and humility,

his gift - communicating thoughts with clarity and musicality. 

I would love to experience him in New York City, on stage, in The Best Man!

We will not support the president (obama) on anything until he addresses Civil Rights for Black People and reforms same. We want the resignation of Jacqueline Berrien EEOC chair immediately or he will hear from US Black People at the election. NO more passes for the president because he looks Black and has a Black wife and daughters. We will march, call for a government work slow-down, boycott corporation/companies, businesses and the government. Civil disobedience if necessary. This is a promisse!

I could give you some links to info of why Blacks act-out. Being a Black Man makes US a target for all too include each other. The president has no idea what it means to be BLACK. His wife is a Black elitist who worked for the most corrupt Mayor in this country "Richard Daley" of chicago. Many have paid for your right to vote for whom you want. I don't vote for people based on the color of their skin. Both the obama's have receive special benefits from the corrupt process. Vote for who you want but their is responsibility with your decision. We must stop self victimization of each other. My question for you is how many Black senators do we have in this great country?  And what is and/or has your president done about it? Along with Black unemployment? Some one opened the door for the obama's to be corrupt! Please think about whom your voting for and what they stand for not the color of their skin's?

Highest levels of unemployment for Black people and obama adminstration supports discrimination against Black people at the EEOC.

The mission of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is to eradicate employment discrimination at the workplace. However, it has been reported that the EEOC fails to investigate the complaints of Black people who file race discriminaton complaints. According to former EEOC investigator (Mr. Ricardo Jones, Sr.) and the EEOC stats, the EEOC dismisses the majority of its race complaint workload. EEOC found reasonable cause that discrimination occurred only 3.5% of the time in FY 2010 and 3.1% for FY 2011. Great job obama. See link/stat's at EEOC Dismisses The Majority of Race Based Complaints.
