Morgan Freeman's Foolish Comments

December 17, 2005

Dear Morgan Freeman and Others:

Morgan Freeman's comments about Black History were FOOLISH! He doesn't understand why Negro History Week was started by Dr. Cater G. Woodson, which was later changed to Black History Month. I agree with his statement that Black History is American History because absolutely nothing has ever occurred in this country that Black People didn't directly or indirectly cause.

Morgan Freeman should spend more time in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi where he is from. Poverty there is bad and getting worst. White Conservatist Racist understand that Black Children need role models and they learn about those people specifically one month out of the year and many white and black teachers do a poor job at discussing true Black Afrikan History in America, Afrika and around the world. I'm from Tallahatchie County and Morgan Freeman opened a restaurant in Clarksdale, MS, Coahoma County. There are only two libraries in the entire County Eastside of Tallahatchie County Charleston, MS and Westside of Tallahatchie County Tutwiler, MS. The county has underfunded the Westside library and is planning to close it. Do something about that Morgan Freeman? If you want to make a difference or need a tax write-off! They’re over 400 children in that town with nothing to do and now they are taking away their library. What planet are you living on Mr. Freeman? You are clearly out of touch with the masses of Black Afrikan Americans who are hurting in this country.

So before you get on National TV talking about eliminating Black History Month, help to replace it with an educational system that Helps Black Afrikan American Children have PRIDE in themselves, economically EMPOWER themselves and to LOVE themselves.

Look at that state of Black Afrikan Children in America. They are killing that which they have not been taught to love, protect, have pride in or respect. "Themselves and Their Community" They should thank people like you, who were a part of the Civil Rights Movement who allow this situation to happen. Replace Back History Month with something better, and then we can get rid of what already exist. Make a movie about that! I challenge you!

Respect!
