On the other hand, Morgan Freeman is a hypocrite. No one is perfect, but his own behavior contradicts the "don't talk about it" solution. He has stated at least a few times that the Tea Party is racist specifically and purely because they oppose Obama. Nevermind the fact that republicans and democrats have been opposed to each other for decades, suddenly now it's racist to oppose a democratic president, simply because his father was black. The Tea Party would be exactly the same toward Clinton.
I totally agree on this one, but I may take it one step further. I think the thing that prolongs "white vs black" racism in the US is the constant obsession with it. How can you expect something to disappear when you acknowledge it constantly even when/where it doesn't really exist? People like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson make all their money by promoting racism in the disguise of fighting it, and they are just two examples of which I am sure there are many more. Obsession keeps it alive.
Then Freeman should have taken his own advice when on CNN with Piers Morgan when referring to the Tea Party & Obama. Just because someone doesn't agree with your political views doesn't mean you should label them a racist.
Freeman is part of a generation that needs to "quietly go away" in order for us to move forward together. He appears Freeman harbors resentment for the past and like so many like him won't move forward to the future.
Morgan Freeman, the only african-american I can respect, because he isn't a typical nigger. Why isn't he president? Ronald Reagan was an actor and became president, why not Morgan? He has such an eloquent way of speaking, and makes a hell of a lot more sense when he talks than Obama's half-nigger lying ass does. He even played the president in the movie "Deep Impact". Let's get rid of black history month, and hispanic/wetback history month. They're jokes.
@dotdotdash2 I assume the reason you want to get rid of racial history months is so there's less focus on division? More equality/neutrality perhaps? And yet you use the terms 'nigger' and 'wetback'... C'mon son...
I saw this interview when it aired. I was so surprised someone else shared the same views I did on Black History Month. It made me feel like less of a weirdo and a sellout.
Morgan Freeman seems confused about idea of Black History Month. It was pioneered by Carter Goodwin Woody; to combat Segregation & elimination Black contributions in American Schools. The main point was to remember Black People/History that was being rubbed out of a mostly "White" American culture.
But Black History Month is also a time to remember abolitionist like:
The Jewish reporter, most likely a liberal, seemed almost shocked to hear a black man say he doesn't need this ridiculous handout. He almost looked clueless with his rebuttal, inferring things like black history month actually stop racism. Thoughts like these are insulting people like Morgan Freeman, you know, people with a brain.
The 60 minutes guy was absolutely horrible. He looked like a scared dog. And the "i'm jewish" thing meant nothing but a reference to Hitler's classification of "Jews" as a race. Being jewish means to be a follower of Judaism. I could convert to Judaism and be a Jew, does that mean i suddenly stop being white? Or if i was black i'm suddenly not black? He looked as if he was afraid to say whites deserve a history month. We don't need cowards for reporters.
@WhatssSoFunny While I agree that his use of the "Jew card" seemed defensive and off-point, Judaism is in fact widely recognized as both a religious alignment and an ethnicity, or, if you will, an "ethnoreligion." If you convert to Judaism, you are religiously but not ethnically Jewish.
@WhatssSoFunny Thats partly true but the Jewish people are an ethnic group much like the Kurdish people in Northern Iraq, Turkey, etc. But yeah, this guy seemed a little weird.
@ShadowRaphael You're both. Example: My grandfather was raised Jewish in NYC, Had the barmitsfa (spelling?) and all that jazz yet when he decided to not be religious at 18 he identifies as just being white. There is an ethnic group by the name of ashikenazi jews, those are the ones Hitler attempted to exterminate. Ashikenazi Jews will tell you they are white too.
White men have destroyed the history of every culture and ethnicity possible attempting to take credit for everything created. You would be a fool leave it up to him to tell the truth about anything. That's the whole reason we have black history month, we learned that his ass was LYING. Even today, in 2012 States are rewriting text books excluding Black, Mexican, Indian, African and South American cultures. Black History 365!!! And I would screaming it louder in February. Morgan is an ass.
@drla10 You are a stupid fucking racist bitch. Blacks have killed MILLIONS of people. Asians too. Not just whites, you revisionist bitch. Somebody should shoot your stupid fucking face.
What a faggot, "well, I am Jewish". Morgan has talked some mayor racially resented political crap, but here he is speaking the truth.
I'll go further, blacks in USA (or anywhere) wouldn't be crap if it wasn't for the nation whites made. They prospered in USA, as Americans, this is not Africa. Thus, let's learn who the likes of Jefferson were and meant as American men, not white history, before talking about "black" anything. Prominent blacks are also American pride, not a race based thing.
Many white people have black history and you are spitting on them because they don't always show it! Hypocrites, you aren't 'black'. If you want to stay black the African boat back to your homeland is always there. I'm tired of hearing this junk all my life when it's the indians and women who suffered the most!
Whites don't know what it's like to be persecuted? What do you think women's rights were about? Women weren't allowed to vote, they were treated like 'property' regardless of what race they were. Black mix Americans seem to think they are the only people whose relatives were treated unfairly, that's a crock. Women had to fight for their rights and now blacks who 'say' they are black but actually near every one is part white, are crying around to get extra attention and funds. Stop crying around!
uhh phhh oohhh derp I'm NOT WHITE - I'M JEWISH !!! I just run this show and have double US/Isreal citizenship but i'm not white or American - I'm jewish... disgrace
@d3f4c3d Clearly you've never talked to a white supremacist. In the eyes of many people, Jews really don't count as 'white'. The Klan sure doesn't think we're white. Hitler sure didn't think we were 'white'. So please, understand the difference - the implication is that 'whites' don't know what it is to be persecuted, or in a minority, while Jews do.
@TKZ100 you full of shit for saying "whites" don't know what it is to be persecuted. look at WW2 - over 15million Soviets died and you don't hear that to be "genocide" or Germany to be paying contributions to them till this days.
7 out of 10 jews I met were more racist then white supremacists and black supremacists all put together. One of my best buds is jew but he's consider himself American - and I respect that. fuck double standards and religious propaganda about goys and colors.
@d3f4c3d ...you're joking, right? 15 million Soviets died in battle. They weren't rounded up, thrown in camps, assigned bar codes and pushed into gas chambers after a dozen years of slowly removing their rights and confiscating their property. That wasn't genocide, that was war.
Yeah, you're a racist, and having a 'jewish bud' doesn't change that. When you say 7/10 Jews are more racist than ACTUAL RACIAL SUPREMACISTS, you're just an anti-semite. Heads up - there's no anti-'goy' conspiracy.
@TKZ100 You disgusting khazar zionist fashist jew for denying genocide of soviets - jews like you worse then nazis. labeling me anti-semite when you run out of arguments. Whole world knows who used yet to be proven term "holocaust' in their advantage and how zionists profited from it. As for heads up : there are no anti-goy conspiracy - just religious racial prejudice bullshit that jews teach. No different in that sense from religious fundamentals terrorists all over the world.
@d3f4c3d Wow, you're even a holocaust denier. Fuck off, Nazi. You may have fooled yourself into thinking you're not a racist, you're just fighting some institutionalized bigotry that all Jews teach to their kids everywhere, but you're not. You're taking an entire ethnicity, painting them all with the same brush as their worst extremist zealots, and patting yourself on the back for fighting injustice. What a load of shit. You may fool yourself, but you don't fool me: you're just a Nazi.
@d3f4c3d Obviously he said that because he wanted to seem like less of an asshole for bringing the issue up. He felt awkward because Freeman got called out by his whiteness, so he probably said the first thing that came to mind. It's really not that big of a deal. I get shit for being a Jew all the time, but I choose not to make a big deal out of that either. Being racist isn't a "Jewish" thing, or a "Christian" or "black" or "white" thing. It's a people thing. Get the fuck over yourself.
@arempel93 take a chill pill and calm the fuck down first. then realize this : he said what he wanted to say and he said it. Don't try to excuse him for saying what he said since you have no fuking clue what was in his head at that time. You also look pathetic hippocratic and racist for trying to defend your own race while talking about negativity of racism
@d3f4c3d No, you're just a racist asshole. You threw out accusations of "zionist khazar fascist jew" without knowing ANYTHING about me. I don't support Israel AT ALL, but you call me a Zionist, because it's a racist label people apply to all jews so they dont have to feel bad about being racists.
You're a racist, and I won't bother with you again. Don't tell me what 'jews teach', because there are sick Christian fundamentalists, just like Jewish ones, and none are better than the other.
@TKZ100 you racist brooklyn filth why you trying to put your filthy words in my mouth ?
You filth first labeled me racist and anti-semite for my share of observations on my jew buds, then denied genocide of millions of Soviets and Ukrainians in WW2 and blatantly ignored their sacrifice to save your ancestors from camps. Ungrateful bastard you worse then fashists if you value Soviet or Ukrainian blood in lover value then jewish blood.
Black history month only highlights the differences between the races. There should be just 'history month' or nothing at all because technically speaking, it's racist to have black history month
@catherinessmith He probably lives in the South, I grew up in Louisiana and regretfully he is right, but of course not all of them are like that. A lot of people are racists down south, but its not just black vs white. In my school people were actually pretty nice to one another no matter the race, except a few shits in the toilet of course.
@oranrene I grew up in the south, i had never even left the south before moving across the world. maybe Florida is different than Louisiana? I had black friends too, and that's not what i was even saying, i never said everyone was racist, there is no denying that there are a lot of racists in the south.
i think this is the most honest laugh ive had in my entire life. this man speaks what I have not really been sure how to say my entire life. there is no difference. there should be no black or white. there is just a group of human. If we really need to identify ourselves, its sole identity should be American, Russian, and so forth depending on your home. We are not two people trying to compete for the same life. We need to finally be ONE as an entire family. Our love needs to drown out all hate!
Mr Freeman, I would like you to raise the point that African slaves weren't only sent to America, they were also sent to the UK, to France and a few other places, but nowhere has there been people who hold on to the anger that their forbears were slaves. When the slaves were given their rights in Europe they got on with life. In America, some are so angry. Harden up, it isn't that 'white people' don't accept black people, some choose to hang on to excuses.
Until our society is POST-racism, this month is still relevant. Ironic how people are challenged 2day by what is equal? Suddenly they have a voice and an opinion. Reverse-racism is such bs it comes from people who don't have any idea of what racism really is. After over 200 years in slavery and zero retribution, the 'least' my ancestors deserve is a month of honor and reflection! Go on, hate on this month for no reason. I am proud to honor my ancestors, their plight and fight to succeed.
@senoj4life I respect your wishes to honor your ancestors, because everyone's ancestors deserve that. But, Morgan Freeman isn't trying to say that he doesn't want to celebrate his heritage; he just doesn't want people to tell him that he has one month to do it. You should celebrate who you are and be proud of your ancestry every day, not just 28. People only hate this month because it is unfair to give you only 28 days of the year while everyone else has 365.
@senoj4life I have a problem with any person being treated differently, positively or negatively, just because of their skin color. The way to stop racism is not by further segregation like black history. Native American history month, nobody cares about, and they got screwed over just as hard as black people did. There's no problem learning about people who fought racism and changed the world for the better, but we need to stop further segregation by saying black people own a month.
im white and i couldn't agree more. i think its more racist that we have to acknowledge every black person in history that did something. we are all equal and should be treated the same.
@nnnatfilko i think you may have misunderstood what he meant by "not talking about it". He meant not talking about different races and to just see people for a human being rather than their race, not the issue of racism
@jjay75 Who are we killing for besides the 1%, were killing for Israel to if we left ilamic nations would ban together and pounce on Israel like a lion
Yea its those black rappers that ruined billions of people minds, and we should stop focusing on racism and ignore current politicians putting the blame of welfare on the blacks and focus on those rappers, your right its rap thats ruining this nation not debt, terrorism, obesity but rap. Oh and Eminem(the most popular rapper in the world), since he is white he is ok, its just the black rappers
@howareyou608 .......So you mean to tell us fellow youtubers that rap is ruining the nation. You sir should do a little research because last time I did some, I found that the lack of jobs, corrupt politics/media, the war on "terrorism", Federal Reserve bank aka Central Bank, and the war on drugs are whats ruining the nation. LOL rap is ruining the nation.... hahahaha
@Oscy While Don Imus calls the Rutgers basketball team nappy headed hoes. In the south, many cultures still have racial hatred to minorities, so lets fix that as it's the grass roots of the problem.
@Oscy Saying 'nigga' in a song is not racist. What he means by "stop talking about it" is that we shouldnt bring up the fact that there is a difference between white and black people, or any color for that matter.
@Oscy thats because nigger is an english word. and to get rid of an english word because it's offensive is stupid. there are many english words that are offensive
@Oscy and that's why rap & hip-hop are generally the scum of the music industry, yet so many people listen to it. I still respect some of the TRUE rappers and poets but todays rap/hip-hop is fucking disgusting.
@Oscy But that is his point , he said by stop talking about it , that goes for everyone even him like he even said an example at the end to prove exactly this.
@Oscy You know why? Because out of the thousands of wanna-be rappers who try to get a label behind them to get a better living since most can't afford a decent education, the stuff that sells and that record producers want is rap about drugs, clubs, booty, and how many times they can fit in "nigger".
In all honestly can’t we just let the Jews have that little piece of land yes they were stereotypically greedy media run-in Zionist thugs deceitful and wrong in their actions to take that little piece of land which was theirs a long time ago. I’m calling on the Muslims to take the high rode the glory rode and let them be. You Muslims have plenty of oil rich gay lynching Islamic states as it is. Doesn’t Allah, (god) rest in your heart not on some dirt and rock?
@jaranarm Yes, I am. They've done nothing but cause violence, death, and intolerance for a millennia so I will generalize them as such. Just look at the news and you'll see a girl killed by his father by not covering her face in public. And I have been to the Middle East. One of my friends was a missionary there and he was killed by Muslims b/c he had the audacity to help feed the poor in a village.
Does Islamo-FASCISTS ring any bells? And being Jewish isn't all about bloodline and ancestry.
Wealthy Jewish financiers were largely responsible for helping fund the Trans Atlantic slave trade of Africans throughout the Americas. Jews were persecuted and exiled out of many countries throughout their history because they would gradually take over the economic affairs of whatever place they settle in. This so-called "Anti-Semitism" didn't just fall out of the sky overnight. Now they bribed the West into making their Zionist state they have control over the world more than ever.
@jaranarm I am far from Jewish and yet I pause to correct you repeating Afrocentric MYTHS. In 1991, the Nation of Islam published the book "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" which ALLEGED that Jews dominated the North Atlantic slave trade. Scholars refuted that thesis and demonstrated that Jews did not dominate the slave trade in the Americas.They possessed far fewer slaves than non-Jews in North America and never played a leading role as financiers. Do your homework!
This information was known in sources way before that book was even compiled. I have heard about that publication by the NOI and they weren't just allegations, they were written and cited by actual Jewish historians and scholars themselves. They didn't own or possess slaves by majority, they owned and ran the industry itself. Big difference. It's the same how Jews own Hollywood despite being the minority by association.
@jaranarm MYTHS! Facts: Jews accounted for ONLY 1.25% of all Southern slave owners. The Book by the Nation of Islam claims that Jews played a major role in the Atlantic slave trade, and profited from black slavery. The book was heavily criticized for being antisemitic, for failing to provide an objective analysis of the role of Jews in the slave trade, for selective quotes and made "crude use of statistics", Henry Louis Gates Jr criticized the book's intention and scholarship.
Morgan Freeman is RIGHT! It is such an absurd and implied notion that it is somehow "remarkable and inconceivable that a black man can accomplish something." Of course they can! They are human just like everyone else (and this is coming from a so-called "bigoted" Republican).
"Judge NOT by the color of someone's skin, but by the content of their character." -MLK-
@jay1jayf I saw no discussions LOL i saw arguments but still, the comments I read made me think: Why address each other by race? Does it really matter? Did Morgan's point, about ended racism by not talking about it, get completely ignored?
@spatesellis Well he made a point, doesn't necessarily mean people would follow, for it just his opinion (not saying it isn't a valid solution, thought i can see some problems with it) and it didn't get completely ignore for it is being discussed.
This is so dumb im sorry to "Stop talking about racism" is NOT a solution

@TKZ100 You disgusting khazar zionist fashist jew for denying genocide of soviets - jews like you worse then nazis. labeling me anti-semite when you run out of arguments. Whole world knows who used yet to be proven term "holocaust' in their advantage and how zionists profited from it. As for heads up : there are no anti-goy conspiracy - just religious racial prejudice bullshit that jews teach. No different in that sense from religious fundamentals terrorists all over the world.

@d3f4c3d Wow, you're even a holocaust denier. Fuck off, Nazi. You may have fooled yourself into thinking you're not a racist, you're just fighting some institutionalized bigotry that all Jews teach to their kids everywhere, but you're not. You're taking an entire ethnicity, painting them all with the same brush as their worst extremist zealots, and patting yourself on the back for fighting injustice. What a load of shit. You may fool yourself, but you don't fool me: you're just a Nazi.

@d3f4c3d Obviously he said that because he wanted to seem like less of an asshole for bringing the issue up. He felt awkward because Freeman got called out by his whiteness, so he probably said the first thing that came to mind. It's really not that big of a deal. I get shit for being a Jew all the time, but I choose not to make a big deal out of that either. Being racist isn't a "Jewish" thing, or a "Christian" or "black" or "white" thing. It's a people thing. Get the fuck over yourself.

You're a racist, and I won't bother with you again. Don't tell me what 'jews teach', because there are sick Christian fundamentalists, just like Jewish ones, and none are better than the other.

Mr Freeman, I would like you to raise the point that African slaves weren't only sent to America, they were also sent to the UK, to France and a few other places, but nowhere has there been people who hold on to the anger that their forbears were slaves. When the slaves were given their rights in Europe they got on with life. In America, some are so angry. Harden up, it isn't that 'white people' don't accept black people, some choose to hang on to excuses.

Until our society is POST-racism, this month is still relevant. Ironic how people are challenged 2day by what is equal? Suddenly they have a voice and an opinion. Reverse-racism is such bs it comes from people who don't have any idea of what racism really is. After over 200 years in slavery and zero retribution, the 'least' my ancestors deserve is a month of honor and reflection! Go on, hate on this month for no reason. I am proud to honor my ancestors, their plight and fight to succeed.

@senoj4life I respect your wishes to honor your ancestors, because everyone's ancestors deserve that. But, Morgan Freeman isn't trying to say that he doesn't want to celebrate his heritage; he just doesn't want people to tell him that he has one month to do it. You should celebrate who you are and be proud of your ancestry every day, not just 28. People only hate this month because it is unfair to give you only 28 days of the year while everyone else has 365.

@senoj4life I have a problem with any person being treated differently, positively or negatively, just because of their skin color. The way to stop racism is not by further segregation like black history. Native American history month, nobody cares about, and they got screwed over just as hard as black people did. There's no problem learning about people who fought racism and changed the world for the better, but we need to stop further segregation by saying black people own a month.

Wealthy Jewish financiers were largely responsible for helping fund the Trans Atlantic slave trade of Africans throughout the Americas. Jews were persecuted and exiled out of many countries throughout their history because they would gradually take over the economic affairs of whatever place they settle in. This so-called "Anti-Semitism" didn't just fall out of the sky overnight. Now they bribed the West into making their Zionist state they have control over the world more than ever.

@jaranarm I am far from Jewish and yet I pause to correct you repeating Afrocentric MYTHS. In 1991, the Nation of Islam published the book "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" which ALLEGED that Jews dominated the North Atlantic slave trade. Scholars refuted that thesis and demonstrated that Jews did not dominate the slave trade in the Americas.They possessed far fewer slaves than non-Jews in North America and never played a leading role as financiers. Do your homework!

@HandsomeWhiteBoy333
This information was known in sources way before that book was even compiled. I have heard about that publication by the NOI and they weren't just allegations, they were written and cited by actual Jewish historians and scholars themselves. They didn't own or possess slaves by majority, they owned and ran the industry itself. Big difference. It's the same how Jews own Hollywood despite being the minority by association.
jaranarm 1 week ago
@jaranarm MYTHS! Facts: Jews accounted for ONLY 1.25% of all Southern slave owners. The Book by the Nation of Islam claims that Jews played a major role in the Atlantic slave trade, and profited from black slavery. The book was heavily criticized for being antisemitic, for failing to provide an objective analysis of the role of Jews in the slave trade, for selective quotes and made "crude use of statistics", Henry Louis Gates Jr criticized the book's intention and scholarship.
