He's 'AF-BLAC!

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.

OK.
Other than a house, garage, 2 cars, running water, electricity, gas, yards, streets, streetlights, grocery stores, refrigerators, washers, dryers, clothing stores, PayDay Loans, crack dealers, hookers, closets full of clothes, shoes to match each outfit, swimming pool, sauna, cell phones, the Internet, WideScreen Digital TV,UI income, Foodstamps, SS Disability checks, ATM machines, drug abuse, gangs, murder, rape, how much difference is there?
Such a shame — all the more so because not too long ago, the same Morgan Freeman was wisely saying that a way to reduce race as an issue was to “stop talking about it” (race) all the dang time. Now he has reversed himself and cannot STFU about race, going so far as to offer a pedigree on Obama’s degree of blackness.
A disgrace.
Truly, truly, really, really hate being picky, but....

Continent?
Good point. Freeman isn’t exactly one to preach morality.
dontcha all know that?
because we all know that the SCM LOVES to pull out the race card in everything and all things, to make a story....
His base beginning to find excuses to distance itself from him?
No, he’s a half breed who believes America should follow socialist and communist beliefs.
Morgan Freeman’s likeability just took another hit.
I swear Freeman sounds crazier every time he opens his pie hole. By his definition, a very high percentage of people who are considered Black by today’s standards would not be Black. Very large numbers of Aframs have “white” blood. Which simply points out the idiocy of “racial” classification.
I would give my right arm for Cain to be our candidate, instead of a flamin’ RINO LIBERAL!
oh wait...it's only one drop when it serves your purpose.
Another Hollywood luminary we don’t need to hear from concerning politics.
I kinda agree, Obama’s Mama was a no-account child bearing slut who abandoned him, his siblings, and besides, nobody knows who is his real daddy.
Now if he was born in Kenya we might be talking about the BLACK MESSIAH and all would be OK with the world....right/ left ?????? Mr Freeman.....by the way how is that incestuous relationship working out?
Morgabn Freeman, will Alan West or Tom Scott do... It would be nice to see a ticket of West and Scott!!
Sorry, Morgan, there may not be any ‘black’ candidates, by your qualification protocol. It is likely that all blacks who have actually, really, truly, been born in the United States are ‘mulato’...they probably all (an ivory soap oercentage 99.4%) have non-black blood mixed in somewhere.
Now, for the record, this president is this countries Number One (N-word deleted)...He is black enough to make him a Kenyan. He is black enough to make him the first black President. And yes, he is ‘af-black’. But he is still an American hating, Islamofasist, Evil, PONS.
He is so bad, that now you other ‘af-black’s’ don’t want to own him as a part of your ‘race’, is that right? But you all voted for him. You all voted for him because he was ‘black’. So live with it. You want to change horses in the middle of the stream? Vote for a conservative for President. Vote for the party that got you the passage of the Civil Rights Act when Johnson was President. Vote for the party that has always given you and everyone else employment.
In other words, Morgan, you need to put your money where your mouth is.
true but I always correct anyone who states African American as I point out that whites too are also African American.
Also my oldest has a kid from Africa and the American blacks hate him and call him white, why ?because he tries hard in school and does well in his education plus uses manners.
American blacks have no idea about their past and can only say slavery but ask them what part of Africa and most cannot even name 3 countries in Africa let alone where they’re supposed to have come from.
I always knew that he was a racist pedophile but his stupidity is mind numbing.

Bless his heart.
