FREEMAN: "Mitch McConnell. Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What’s, what does that, what underlines that? “Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.”

MORGAN: "But is that necessarily a racist thing?"

FREEMAN: "It is a racist thing."

[PALIN SMITH]

Black celebrities and affirmative action dolts are the most racist of all!

I miss Keyes; he’s brilliant. I voted for him too (as a Catholic).

Though confused over the issue of racism, Morgan is somewhat right. The Tea Party will do what ever it can to get rid of the black man in the White House, including electing a different black man to take his place. Race has nothing to do with it.

[Bellflower]

There is racism in the electorate, but it is the 99% of blacks who will blindly vote for a fellow black man.

Don't you think that only applies to black liberals?

It’s only been several years that Morgan Freeman did this
memorable interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes:

I don’t know what’s happened to him since, except that the poison that Obama has spread has reached many many people who should have known better. He’s gone from Messiah to Failed Symbol of Black American Aspiration in one precipitous plunge. OTOH , I am assuming the interview went as it is portrayed here, and had no more nuance, since I couldn’t open the link to read it as it transpired and was transcribed.

“It’s not technically incest, because they are not related by blood…[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won’t become public.”

[Dawgreg]

Just shut up and act Morgan.....just shut up and act. Hub and I have enjoyed his movies and we’d like to continue doing so. Get it?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

It’s not the color of his skin, it’s the communist and resentment filled underpinnings of his ideology.

I have no idea if tea party people are significantly racist. I also don’t know how many tea party people attended the Glen Beck rall this Spring. However, I have gotten the impression it was a significant percentage. I only know that when I was there, out of at least 10,000 people I saw while strolling around, I only saw 3 black people. I made a point of asking them why they were there. One was passing through to get to the Sharpton rally at the Martin Luther King memorial site. One said he just wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and the third just smiled and said nothing.

And?

[DustyMoment]

We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.”

Hey, Morgan, that finger you're pointing at us racists?? There are 3 others pointing back at you!!

That's the problem with these pinhead liberal racists - they can't grasp the fact that we don't like Obama because of his radical leftist policies - NOT because of the color of his skin!!!

[gleeaikin]

And. The complete absence of any blacks at the Glen Beck event might lead some to think that they were not liked and not wanted. Naturally we would not want to give libs the opportunity to draw such conclusions.

[Trailerpark Badass]

LOL, OK.

[Mr. Wright]

Obama is NOT black - He is 1/2 black - 1/2 white. Where does it say that when a black and white have a kid, the kid is “automatically black”. He is just as much white as he is black. In fact, as I have told many people when I am accused of being a racist, “Hey, I don’t like the white half either”!!!!

[CT]

Obama isn't even a genuine, down-for-the-struggle, African American. He lied about the influence Selma had on his being born. His Arab granddaddy converted from Catholicism to Islam. His daddy was a no-account commie drunk. And the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

I used to enjoy Mr Freeman's acting abilities. No more.

Taken from his Wikipedia page

under Comments on race

Freeman has publicly criticized the celebration of Black History Month and does not participate in any related events, saying, “I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history.”[35] He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and he notes that there is no “white history month”.[36] Freeman once said on an interview with 60 Minutes’ Mike Wallace: “I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.”[35] Freeman supported the defeated proposal to change the Mississippi state flag, which contains the Confederate battle flag.[37][38]

So Morgan when are you going to follow your own advice and stop talking about Racism?

Now who is the Racist?

[DeltaZulu]

Pure nonsense. Both presidents lost their respective bids for a second term for purely economic reasons (and in Jimmy’s case a good portion of his horribly weak foreign policy as well). During JC’s presidency we had the “Misery Index” and gas rationing and Bush had his “Read My Lips, Not gonna be Ronaldus Maxus II” tax betrayal.

[Lionheartusa1]

,,,,, don’t forget this man child is half white and I don’t like that half either ,,,,,,

Got it Morgan !!!

[Right Wing Assault]

There see? It IS obama's fault! He never should have run since he should have known this would happen. And a black guy saying it. Thanks Morgan! Oh, you didn't mean it that way? (I love that picture. He looks like one of those street guys who walks around talking to himself.)
