Morgan Freeman: Black History Month is ridiculous.

[75th]

Not anyone's fault you have a learning disability...

Your statistics while true are not facts.

Things are only "true" if you believe them to be true. 2+2 = 5 if you so choose to believe this to be true.

Dont be an idiot.
Clinton was never impeached.

You could never be any personality of mine because I you are not knowledgable enough, you do not schooled enough and just plain are not smart enough.

Talk about a learning disability.

man ive been saying this shit for years... same as gay pride week...

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 guess blacks dont watch TV as much as I thought because otherwise, TVs would follow the basic marketing rules and to make their audience happy.

Oh and please, dont put us with asians, please no....

Morgan Freeman is absolutely right. The bad thing is that there are people like Jesse Jackass the good rev who use racism to his advantage making the issue worse rather than letting it get better. The world needs more good people like Morgan.

There's always the WB. Seriously, people like Jackson, Belafonte, and Infumo(sic) need race baiting to maintain their power and status as champions to the downtrodden.

Try and expain to us again that 2+2=5 if we believe it to be so.

LOL

Because the 2's are black? lol

 

[jstrick2]

Joking aside....

I agree with Morgan for the most part, but I don't think we are QUITE as caught up as a societ (equalitywise) to just ditch items that cause awareness.

Black History month may not be entirely needed in the future (may not even be that distant), but I think we could still find value in it for at least one more generation.

If that makes any sense.

Then there are people like you who don't know the first thing about Jesse or what he stands for. People who put words in his mouth and make allegations they have no proof or evidence of.

This is what's rediculious about these types of threads. People use the word racism and don't even know how he's being racist...

I think it's ignorant to say "black history is American history" and then dont address the extent at which 'black' history is integrated in the history books.
After thinking about it, the answer is probably that 'white' people here would say he's racist.
Anyway back onto the history books, I bet you know what ice cream is but I bet you don't know who Augustus Jackson is...

Anyway all this crap about Jesse being racist needs to stop.

He's not a racist, he's a race-baiter, big difference.

 

[Hengst]

Jessie Jackson is not only racist he's also a bigot..... and there is a difference.

A racist is someone who believes that different races exist and that race does matter. A Bigot is some one who goes around spewing invectives.

"It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" - racist and bigoted
"Afirmative Action" - racist but not bigoted

ANYTIME race is used as a criteria for anything it is racist. Simple as that. Black only scholarships? racist.

Rember the words of Martin Luther King - "I have a dream that one day all men will be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin."
