I haven’t figured out where Morgan Freeman falls on the spectrum. Seems like some things he has said, he sounds like a conservative. I think he’s against Black History month for one thing.

Found the video on You Tube:

Mike Wallace: “How are we going to get rid of racism?”

Morgan Freeman: “Stop talking about it.”

LOL :)

Love his voice. Seems like a cool guy. And he’s a good actor.

I've always valued Freeman's calm intelligence as an actor. He calls it "gravitas" and I saw him mocking it once in an interview, saying it keeps him from more varied roles.

Seems I read somewhere he's on the liberal side but has the good sense to keep his politics personal. I respect that. I really applauded his comment to Mike Wallace. If only PBS and other liberal media would pay heed to it instead of incessantly dragging up every piece of segregationist and race violence footage ever filmed and replaying it incessantly to make sure old wounds never heal. The Democrats need to make sure their Black base on the Liberal Plantation is always stirred up and filled with hatred against Whitey aka Conservatives.

That quote shows someone who knows he’s not judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his characters, pun (sorta) intended.
