Can't say I disagree with him.

[SouthernFreebird]

Sounds good to me.

"Black history is American history."

Well said, Mr. Freeman. Well said.

[rocksblues]

Freeman notes there is no "white history month," and says the only way to get rid of racism is to "stop talking about it." The actor says he believes the labels "black" and "white" are an obstacle to beating racism. "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man," Freeman says.

Now I know why I like this man!

[Dog Gone]

He gets it.

[digger48]

Can we follow up with

Black Expo

Black Miss America

Black Congressional Caucus

etc.?

[Izzy Dunne]

The whole idiocy of "Black History Month" could be revealed by imagining an equivalent "White History Month".

Silly, isn't it?

[End Times Sentinel]

You know of course, that a black man invented the traffic light, and if it weren't for him, we'd be colliding all the time at intersections.  And a black man invented the comb, and if it weren't for him, we'd all be wearing dreadlocks. 

Anyways, I can't think of anything more important than dividing and apportioning human accomplishments by race.  It brings us all together.

I find this so funny, because just yesterday or today, Debbie Wasserman-Schulz of Florida, was on the House floor, complaining that there is a Black History Month, and there are Hispanic celebrations in May...but,

there is no "Jewish History Month"...so, I guess Freeman should talk to the Congress, because it seems that they are going the opposite way. LOL

The ghettoization of history into black studies, women's studies, queer studies, etc., has been nothing but destructive.

[Zack Nguyen]

Morgan Freeman is one of the best actors in America. I happen to agree with him here too.

[DemforBush]

Well said, Mr. Freeman. You're a class act, as always.

[atomicpossum]

Easy Reader,
That's my name....

Even way back then, I liked the guy.

[satchmodog9]

Good for him. I think the lib is waking up after 68 years.

[Gay State Conservative]

"I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."

OK,Mr Freeman...for 100 bonus points:

Is white history also American history?

[chasio649]

Morgan better watch it...punk a$$ Jamie Foxx might call him out.

[Phsstpok]

Thankyou, Mr. Freeman.

You have encapsulated my entire philosophy of history and race relations in a very powerful and succinct fashion.

You are a great American and I am proud to call you "one of my own."

I live near enough to your "stomping grounds" in Clarksdale, Mississippit, to have had ambitions of visiting your restraunt (particularly after the bit you did with Rachel Raye on Food Network). You have given me one more reason to go out of my way to accomplish that ambition.

I was very impressed when in the audio commentary on the "Glory" DVD he stated "There is no 'black history.' There's history, and we're part of it."

Freeman Criticizes Black History Month

I see nothing wrong with a black history month.

As long as we also have:

A Puerto Rican history month.
an Italian-American history month.
a Japanese-American history month.
a Chinese-American history month.
a Jewish-American history month.
a Mexican-American history month.
an Indian-American history month.
an American-Indian history month.
a Russian-American history month.
a Canadian-American history month.
a French-American history month.
an Arab-American history month.
an Irish-American history month.
a Jewish-American history month.


I forget, how many months are there?

[BIGLOOK]

Morgan Freeman is an American....who just happens to be black.
A credit to Americans.
