Interviewer: Black history month you find…
Morgan Freeman: Ridiculous.
Interviewer: Why?
Morgan Freeman: You’re going to relegate my history to a month?
Interviewer: Oh, come on.
Morgan Freeman: What do you do with yours? Which month is white history month?
Interviewer: (pause) Well, I’m Jewish.
Morgan Freeman: Okay. Which month is jewish history month?
Interviewer: There isn’t one.
Morgan Freeman: Oh, oh. Why not? Do you want one?
Interviewer: No.
Morgan Freeman: Right. I don’t either. I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history.
Interviewer: How are we going to get rid of racism?
Morgan Freeman: Stop talking about it.
GEEEZUS FREAKING CHRIST. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. I am soooooo glad that Mr. Freeman understands this. I really am. The only way to stop racism is to NOT talk about it. It is only there in our minds. if we don’t think about it, we won’t think about it. Singling out ANY ethnic group in any sort of positive OR negative light invokes racism.
