Morgan Freeman: Black History Month is ridiculous.

[H_T_]

Free Dave Chappelle!

True but you had the Cosby Show. I guess it's offer and demand but there's a fair market (Dave Chapelle Show for example...). Do you see many asians ? No. Do people make a big deal ? No.

That was umpteen years ago, mang. After that y'all gave us Steve Irkel. Since we're 15% of the population should 15% of the shows be all black or just 15% of all the characters on all shows or how does that work? Asians are white people to me.

I welcome Mr. Johnson's opinion as well as nycgirl and any other person of Afro-American descent on these remarks. For you see, I am not qualified; I am white.

The best I can do is NOT practice overt or covert racisim, and teach my children tolerance.

Youre not serious, are you?

I was born a middle class white person. I had no choice in the matter that I'm aware of. I wonder how my life would be different had I been born into another culture.

I Morgan Freeman.
Really, I've read other interviews with him, & I would vote for him as anything, anytime.

 

[gjohnson5]

He's going to be labeled as an Uncle Tom just like Bill Cosby.

Bill really surprised me with his comments...
But then again Bill was never a John Amos so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

We should all sit back and wait for gjohnson to show up and call him a...what was the phrase he used...oh, a "uncle tom ass snowflake."



Anyone who is able to use the search function can see why I posted this...I have said that this sort of seperation only fuels racism rather than fights it.

We need more people in this country with as much common sense as Freeman.

75th , why don't you start posting the source of you malarchy so I don't have to refute something out of the national enquirer.

You should stop reading that tabloid BS...

Anyway , in one sense I'm not surprised because he stared in "Driving Miss Daisy" whereas a majority of the black community objected to that. Explotation movies went out in the 60's
