“African-American” And “Black History Month” Are Insulting Terms, Says Morgan Freeman https://t.co/UE9TJ7abCz

Morgan Freeman has expressed his distaste for both the premise of ‘Black History Month’ and the term ‘African-American.’
“Black History Month is an insult. You’re going to relegate my history to a month?”
“Also ‘African-American’ is an insult. I don’t subscribe to that title. Black people have had different titles all the way back to the n-word and I do not know how these things get such a grip, but everyone uses ‘African-American’. 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.”
