Morgan Freeman: No Black President For U.S. Yet (white mama disqualifies)

He was especially interested in talking about President Obama, and why Freeman thinks he should not be called America's first black president.

"First thing that always pops into my head regarding our president is that all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him ... they just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white American, Kansas, middle of America," Freeman said. "There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America's first black president hasn't arisen yet. He's not America's first black president — he's America's first mixed-race president."

Many of Freeman's films explore important chapters of African-American history: Amistad was about the trans-Atlantic slave trade; Driving Miss Daisy was set in the civil rights era; and Glory centered on an all-black regiment in the Civil War.

Tim Robbins: “Why do they call you Red?”

Morgan Freeman: “Maybe it’s cause I’m Irish.”

I was about to say that . Morgan Freeman has some white blood in his past too. He is not pure black, few African Americans are.

Morgan Freeman is only hurting himself with this racism. Most white people had a great deal of respect for him. Now they are finding out he is just another racist black.

Alan Keyes. Couldn’t get a single black person really interested simply because he ran as a Republican.

“And black Africans laugh at black Americans dressed up in their dashikis and cowry shell necklaces and other Africanoid clothing thinking they are “celebrating their heritage.””

Like that phoney-baloney, idiotic Kwanzaa-Krap?

I havent watched a Rock Hudson movie since I found out he was queer.

Watching him making love to Doris day is more than I can stand when I know he was a poofter.

Same for Jodie Foster. No longer watch her movies.

Wanda Sykes, that black lesbian comedian, said when Obama was first elected she was so happy we had our first black President. But if he screwed up it was his white side or something to that effect. It was at one of those correspondence dinners, I think.

He's really lost it if blacks are pointing out his white half.

Obama is possibly the only genuine AFRICAN-AMERICAN in the US.

Almost none of them in the US have even been to Africa, nor have their parents.

Obama is both an American, and a Foreign Exchange Student from somewhere actually in the country of Africa.

What's weird is someone asked MF about Bush's response to 9/11 and he said it was "perfect". Of course that was many moons ago, and 'ol Morgan probably got a talking to, like Cosby. Don't hear much from Bill C. any more either.

Fine. If we must apply labels, then someone get Allen West to satisfy their requirements.

I'm going for Herman Cain. Which one of us does that make 'a racist'?

Why? Because he wants a real black guy, and not a fake one ?

Isn’t it about time for Morgan to marry another one of his stepdaughters?

According to my brother in law, the Africans do a lot more than just laugh at them. John was in the Navy back in the 80s and they did a few port calls in several African countries.
Apparently when our so called African-American sailors tried to call the locals “BRUTHA” they damn near didn’t escape with their lives. Black Americans have no concept of what it is to be African and no appreciation of how lucky they are to be Americans.
