There is a Black History Month because so much of American history has been edited for dermal hue. To get rid of black history month (or Asian history month or Hispanic history month, etc) just teach the whole story in the first place. Job done.

True there are times when it is appropriate to mention someone's skin colour (helps you pick him out in a crowd, for instance) but I frequently hear people point out a person's ethnicity when it's completely irrelevent (I saw the black people across the haul, and they said...). Labels like "African-American actor Morgan Freeman" should be dropped in favour of "Actor Morgan Freeman". News media is the worst for this, worse than even the average person on the street.

Morgan sums it up to perfection! The worlds gone to politically STUPID!!

Latest comment: "I once wondered why Black History got a whole month (instead of a day or a week). Without a pause, my brother said "At least it's the shortest month." "

Sometime in the future racism will not exist any more than identifying a person by the colour of their hair.People like Mr Freeman and Obama help make this possible thank god.

I'm not sure Mr Freeman knows what he is. He's been God, the President of the USA and done some time in prison. He needs to sort himself out.

Morgan Freeman is right. Stop talking about differences and they soon disappear.

Guest: C Crocker (296 days ago)

Leave Americans alone, please leave them alone!

Guest: Trevor Smith (296 days ago)

Makes you think, doesn't he. And I guess that's what he was trying to do.

Guest: Caz (296 days ago)

At last some sense. Why do I have to be labelled? I am a person. Not a black person, not a white person. I am what I am. Take me or leave me.Just give me the respect that each of us deserves.

Guest: Trevor Smith (296 days ago)

sorry I meant Rednecks and not rednicks as by my previous statement. Stupid Americans

if he's as good a man as he appears to be in everything i've seen with him included in it he should be president....although he's probably such a good man he would'nt want to get caught up in the lies and deception of politics.

Guest: Hoipoloi (296 days ago)

I'd rather people stopped talking about religion if there was even the slightest chance that would disappear.

Guest: Im tird,my comnt may b jibrish (295 days ago)

i agree with him but most black people wont. for some reason they like black history month, when its coming up you here some black people cheering that its black history month soon. where i live (London), black people group themselves out, there is even black news radio station that i can get.

Guest (296 days ago)

He's being stupid if we can all just keep quiet about it and hope it will go away. Describe Morgan Freeman without calling him black/african american/whatever. At some point ethnicity is a completely valid way of giving the starters of a desription and that will always be the same.

Guest (296 days ago)

stupid americans (except Morgan Freeman)

Guest: Chocalate starship enterprise (294 days ago)

Yes Morgan sounds cool. But in a perfect world, only, could he possibly hope for this to happen. History dictates the future. What he wants is almost akin to peace on earth.

Guest: American Asian (296 days ago)

Right on!
