Morgan Freeman: Black History Month is “ridiculous”

It’s a little early for Black History Month, but I thought I’d share. I don’t really like actor Morgan Freeman, but I wouldn’t mind having a cup of coffee with him as long as he’s saying things like this:

“I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history…”

The notion of a special month for black history may be hurting rather than helping efforts for racial equality, Freeman believes. When Wallace wonders whether racist attitudes may be harder to eradicate without the education that Black History Month provides, Freeman retorts: “How are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it!” (SOURCE)

Yeah, right. I wish it were so, Mr. Freeman. But the “civil rights” hustle industry isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Its race-baiters workers aren’t about to give it up and get real jobs. They’ll make sure we all keep talking about it. An honest day’s work (for a change) would do their souls good, but hey, race baiters have to pay the bills, too, don’t they?

Note: I forgot to link to the source earlier.

Addendum: I take it back! I liked Freeman in Glory and on The Electric Company kids’ show.
