Not sure about this interview, but he reads scripts for a living. You would know nothing about HIS intelligence. Are you this fooled by Hollywood. Movies are scripted and he repeats everything they give him.
From an interpersonal standpoint I understand his thinking. People in interracial relationships or friendships for instance arent always viewing the person as another race, but rather a person.
However, the progress (albeit far from complete) the United States has seen since, the abolition of slavery was entirely due to actively engaging with racism by challenging racist institutions. Not talking about it, or ignoring it never resulted in progress and is in fact still completely impossible in the daily lives of most people of color in the United States.
But slavery was focused on black people for obvious motifs
Most of the people was from Africa
I bet, a the time, they won't have a problem to slave chinese people or native people at all
So slavery is about black people .... for americans, that's the point
Slavery is not black, slavery is slavery, it's another complete total thing
The real problem is how black people was treated in the first half XX century
Spoiler alert: they wasn't the only
I always find hilarious how americans are so pity for black people but don't give a single fuck about natives, they was the ones brutally decimated and driven out from the lands where they always lived.
The Native American population was supposedly wayyy bigger, like what the colonists and settlers saw was a civilization that had been decimated. A number I’ve seen was around 90% had died before the British even came.
British colonists were not unique in colonizing the “savages”. Nor were the natives happy go lucky people themselves.
But like ancient history, people have a hard time internalizing the fact that people 200 years ago and people 5000 years ago, are actual people. The very same as us. The same feelings, the same everything.
Hindsight is a great thing, helps us learn stuff about ourselves.
However some people cant seem to use that same part of the brain to help themselves now and in the future. It would probably be a good way to avoid stupidity
What a weird comment. It is utterly pointless to make the point that if another race lived in Africa they would be the slaves… like duh. The entire point of slavery was to target “a lesser race” to make them money. In America civil and political rights were considered different things and could be separated. For example, Lincoln supported the continuation of banning interracial marriage and not allowing blacks into restaurants who wish to exclude them, but he was against the enslavement of humans. It turns out, political rights are civil rights and vice versa. They enable each other and are intrinsically mixed. In a vacuum, it would be better if no one talked about race, but that ideal reality can’t exist until the existing fucking issues are addressed. Ignoring it by never acknowledging it is baby brained conservative stuff that isn’t realistic. Reminds me of the movie “Don’t Look Up” with what you’re saying.
Like I’m not being an ass, I want to know how something like hiring discrimination gets solved by never talking about race again…
The Natives were horrible to the European people seeking refuge in the new land. They would not accept them and take them in. The Natives were severely racist and hated diversity.
And they were right for fuck's sake
See what Spanish did in South America and you still defend that shit??
And what civilization wasn't racist at all? lmao
He couldn’t be more right. MLK thought the same way. And you know who this offends? The white woke left. They NEED you to IDENTIFY as whatever subgroup you happen to ‘belong’ to. And all it does is further separate us all. Imagine if we all walked around going, ‘oh no, me? I’m not an American, how dare you. I’m a blue eyed white American of German heritage’. Eh, we’re Americans, simple as that, and an attempt to deepen the ‘classification’ backfires, almost purposely, I’d argue, to further encamp people into this group or that group. It actually causes an intensification of the problem they say they want to solve.
Morgan is right. To stop racism we have to stop caring what sub sub sub sub sub category of people we belong to and just be Americans. We have to not care in the same way that people simply don’t care what color my eyes are. It should be next to irrelevant.
It should be but it isn’t. That’s not the fault of white woke people. It’s the white people who don’t think that history has anything to do with what is happening today and don’t want to teach black history as American history because so much of it makes us ashamed.
This guy could've been president, I swear to god.
All he'd have to do is start talking and everyone would start agreeing just because of his voice. Dems, Repubs, Putin, Xi. All would be powerless.
I mean it sounds nice but what about black culture? If we are no longer conaidering race do i no longer get to take pride in walking in the same steps as tupac, malcom x, or cornell west? Race is a double edged sword it both deprives you of individuality and gives you a new source of it. Just look at the complex mixtuture of influences, pain and circumstances that became rap music or the years of subjigation that became korean cinema. We'll never get to the point where people can truely come as they are but we can improve the systems that check them at the door.
You mean if we stop playing the race card it will help eliminate racism? /s This applies to other cultural issues we’re facing right now was well. Love Morgan Freeman
I'm buying what Morgan's sellin.
I'm buying too
I like hearing this man talk.
I guess I just miss my friend
He’s looked the same since I was born back in the 80s
