Morgan Freeman


He'd probably agree with my OC Register article. In case you missed 60 Minutes last night:

Freeman notes there is no "white history month" [as there is a Black History Month] and says the only way to get rid of racism is to "stop talkinng 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.

Alas, the issue is complex. But remember: Morgan Freeman is god.

Charlie, Freeman also asked why there isn't a Jewish history month.

Do you really think that by admitting we are all racists we can get past race? How do you propose we go about that? I think it would be much more effective and practical to just stop talking about it so much.
