My Open Letter to Morgan Freeman

Mr. Morgan Freeman,
c/o Revelations Entertainment
1221 2nd Street # 4
Santa Monica, CA 90401-1150

I am so disappointed in your accusations against the Tea Party. I can undertsand disagreeing politically, but to stoop to calling the Tea Party racist is very, very beneath you.

I have enjoyed many of your movies. You are a tremendous actor and have also represented many good causes.

I am a 55 year old white male, who is conservative and who has frequented Tea Party activites because I am fed-up with big government overreaching its constitutional mandate...from both major parties. While at these activities and events I have rubbed shoulders with, spoken with, befriended and worked together with members of all races, including many of my black American brother and sisters. Race never came up, we were all Americans working at the grassroots level for the greater good.

Here's the link to a picture from one of the Tea Party activities...and it summarizes how most of us feel about big government.

Morgan, of the current GOP candidates, I support Herman Cain for President as do hundreds of thousands of Tea Party folk. I am white. Herman Cain is black. How then can I be accused of being a racist? It is his policies on the issues I agree with and will vote for, not the color of his skin. Just as I oppose Barrack Obama because of his disasterous policies. It has absolutely nothing to do with his race.

I expect the Tea Party to impact the coming 2012 election in a major way, for just these reasons. Just as it did the elections in 2010. You will see much more of the same come November of 2012.

Thanks for many wonderful memories at movies, but shame on you for these incendiary, uncalled for, incorrect and misleading statements about grassroot Americans trying their best to help their country.

If you were true to many of the characters and causes you have played and espoused, the Tea Party would be a movement you would be trying to help.

Sincerely,

Jeff Head

I lost respect for Mr. freeman when he wanted to change the Mississippi State Flag to rip away the “confederate” corner of the flag. In a vote most of the state voted to keep the old flag—many of the votes were from blacks!

"Never heard that. Any links or documentation?

Google Image search for ["step granddaughter" "Morgan Freeman"] turned up a whole bunch of photos like this (most without the scrawl, of course...)

“If we were all truly racist, none of his movies would have made money...”

And now I can say from the bottom of my heart, I hope NONE of the movies he makes now make any money. He may have his opinion of me as a racist, and I may choose not to give him any more of my dollars.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks you guys. Freeman was way off base and he’s lost my business and a lot of my respect. All of it if the other allegations on this thread are true.

I remember him as an almost complete unknown on the old Electric Company. Since a lot of what hollywood and entertainment types think about politics have been exposed here on FR the standard default position for them until proven otherwise is that they are flaming leftards. Now here was the first clue as to Freeman being a flaming lefty when no one knew him. He worked for PBS. Looking back it is crystal clear.

[Jeff Head]

If they are there as step-granddad and grandaughter...that's one thing.

If that's a "date" as in romantic and as was stated above he is leaving his 30+ year wife to marry this young step-granddaughter...then that is just disgusting, sickening, and revolting.

Yeah, it’s sad. Freeman grew up in hubby’s hometown of Greenwood MS. We were hoping to get to his restaurant, and Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, at some point. We’re not particularly interested in doing that now.

to stoop to calling the Tea Party racist is very, very beneath you.

If we weren't sure before, we now know it's not the least bit beneath him.

Kudos to you for giving him the benefit of the doubt, though.

[Jeff Head]

Yep...now he’s calling the entire effort to limit Obama to one term, “racist,” when by far and away the most votes he got for his first terms was “white.”

So Freedman is showing himself to be nothing but a cheap political hack now, in essence saying your are not racist when you vote blakc, but youe are if you decide he did not do a good job and want him replaced.

It’s actually insidiously worse, because if the “black,” were someone like Condoliza Rice or Alan Keyes, or Clarence Thomas...well then, ot would also be “racist,” to vote for them because they are “Unlce Tom’s,” don’t you know?

No, Freedman himself is turning out to be a race hustler, using his status as a well known actor to push a radical agenda that is, in essence, racist itself.

Fact is, people will be voting against Obama on much less racist grounds than they voted for him.
