Legendary actor Morgan Freeman opened up about his view on race relations in a rare interview in which he reiterated his dislike of Black History Month and tore into the term"African American," calling them both an “insult."
Morgan added, “What does it really mean? Most Black people in this part of the world are mongrels. And you say Africa as if it’s a country when it’s a continent, like Europe.” "Stop talking about it ... 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 said to host Mike Wallace.
“When I was growing up, there was no ‘me’ in the movies,” Morgan said. “If there was a black man in a movie, he was funny. Until Sidney Poitier came and gave young people like me the idea that, ‘OK, yes, I can do that.’”
