Reminds me when Morgan Freeman said he didn't want a Black History Month, I immediately went like "dude, shut the f*** up".
Surely he was just saying 'All history is our history. Why would you relegate it to a month and label it?' He's allowed to feel aggrieved as it does feel like apportioning it to something lesser, like 'Here,have the short month then shut up about it.'
i'm sure he'll be happy to know that all talk of black history, period, will be gone, as soon as pres elmo gets his way
Try finding the whole clip then watch it in context. He wants black history taught in American history classes. He doesn’t want it to be separated.
thats kinda of a wierd justification from him, he doesnt want a month of honoring AA people, but only taught in class, where its obviously not there anyways.
there are two people i lost some respect due to a shitty r/iama: Woody Harrelson and Morgan Freeman
Harrelson was so early the AMA process that he should be cut slack. He was there to promote a movie not answer a question about a person he might have had sex with.
Freeman is/was old and likely never gave a fuck.
To paraphrase an old saying, “Never get to know your heroes.”
With the exception of Robin Williams. He is, was, and always will be the GOAT.
