Morgan Freeman and His Thoughts on Race

Actor Morgan Freeman ("God" from Bruce Almighty) has some thoughts on race that are pretty good (h/t Best of the Web Today):

Every now and then, a celebrity says something intelligent. Here's a report from the Associated Press:

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. . . . "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.

Morgan Freeman is a man.

No wonder they let him play God.
