"Black history is American history." Well said, Mr. Freeman. Well said.

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!

The whole idiocy of "Black History Month" could be revealed by imagining an equivalent "White History Month".
Silly, isn't it?

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.

Morgan Freeman is one of the best actors in America. I happen to agree with him here too.
To: Angry Republican
Well said, Mr. Freeman. You're a class act, as always.

"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?

I believe the Black Congressional Caucus will be the LAST one to go.
