Morgan Freeman: Black History Month is ‘ridiculous’
Feb 6, 2009 In The News, Politics
Count Morgan Freeman in the group of intelligent African-Americans soon to be shunned by the black community for saying what none of them will:
NEW YORK – Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is “ridiculous.”
“You’re going to relegate my history to a month?” the 68-year-old actor says in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). “I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history.”
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.
He’s absolutely right — both white people and black people have to stop worrying about black and white and see everyone else as people, or racism is never going away.
