This CNN interview with Morgan Freeman will be aired on CNN Friday evening.
Freeman says the tea party is the “weak, dark underside of America” and will do whatever to “get this black man (Obama) outta here!”
Chatting with Piers Morgan, the Oscar-winning actor also blames the Tea Party saying they’re “going to do whatever [they] can to get this black man outta here” (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Via NewsBusters:
NewsBusters has the transcript:
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Has Obama helped the process of eradicating racism, or has it in a strange way made it worse.
MORGAN FREEMAN: Made it worse. Made it worse. Look at, look, the Tea Partiers, who are controlling the Republican Party, stated, and what’s this guy’s name, Mitch O’Connell. Is that his, O’Connell?
MORGAN: Yeah, Mitch McConnell, yeah.
FREEMAN: Mitch McConnell. Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What’s, what does that, what underlines that? “Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.”
MORGAN: But is that necessarily a racist thing?
FREEMAN: It is a racist thing.
MORGAN: Is it not Republicans, wouldn’t that say that about any Democrat president?
FREEMAN: No, they would have gotten rid of Bill Clinton if they could have.
MORGAN: They tried.
FREEMAN: They did try, but still. I don’t, they’re not going to get rid of Obama either. I think they’re shooting themselves in the head.
MORGAN: Does it unnerve you that the Tea Party are gaining such traction?
FREEMAN: Yes.
MORGAN: Why?
FREEMAN: Well, it just shows the weak, dark, underside of America.
This is a man who uses race as a bludgeon to assault anyone who disagrees with liberal policy.
It will be a cold day in hell when I pay to see another of this selfish loon’s movies.

Another Hollywood idiot I won’t patronize in the theaters again. What a fool, can’t see this president is taking this country down the path of Greece, but quickly throws the race card. If Obama was purple, green, or white as the driven snow, he’s a disaster plain and simple and race has nothing to do with it. What a twit.

I will be going to great length in educating my neighbors as to what this individual has done, is doing, and plans on doing to this country should he be given a 2d term. I will be doing this not because of the color of his skin, but because of the content of his character.
Liberalism is a fatal disease and I will be doing whatever is necessary to inoculate myself and majority of other Americans from its dangers.

Does it matter that this ” black man ” is an islamomarxist who hates white people and wants to destroy our country ? Or should this be condoned because he is black ?
donh commented:
The “weak, dark, underside of America” is a President who is too cowardly to come out and discuss these things with his own mouth like a man…dispatching surrogates to blame failure on racism.

Obama is “black”? Dude throws a baseball like a girl, can’t jump, and wears khakis.

The weak, dark, underside of America…Oh, yeah. Like famous movie stars who cheat on their wives then pretend that their s–t doesn’t stink. That’s definitely weak. It certainly is dark. And boy does that person’s underside smell.

Callipygian1 commented:
Like all great actors, Morgan Freeman is a fantastic liar, as lawyers are too… that is their major skill; like lawyers I always assume that their opinions are based upon what will benefit them the most.
So other than being great liars, why would I ever care what an actor has to say, considering their minds are immersed in non-stop leftist drivel at right-bashing cocktail parties?
Morgan Freeman, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Danny Glover, Roseanne Barr, Sean Penn, Albert Einstein… in this group, who does not belong?
Holly Wilson commented:
According to the Daily Rash, members of the Congressional Black Caucus want it to be a hate crime when a Tea Party member of congress hangs a black person. No wonder Morgan Freeman is mad! http://www.thedailyrash.com/congressional-black-caucus-to-make-tea-party-hangings-a-hate-crime

Mr Freeman, what a pathetic, misguided, angry man you are. I consider myself a “tea party” American. In other words an American who loves America and its freedom. Guess what? I would love to see Herman Cain for president. And on top of that…I absolutely LOVE Lt. Col Allen West. So take that and go back into your racist little meaningless life. Ughhh!
Rock commented:
Morgan you poor poor man if anyone destroyed the Myth that is Obama it would be his pick for the Justice Department who made it abundantly clear, racism would be the force that guided Donkey Kong Ones agenda. Saying no charges of racial injustice would be pursued against his people, and turning a blind eye to the New Black Panthers voter intimidation case showed the rest of America his administration was as raciest as any. False accusation of raciest activities by the Democratic Black Ass’s demonstrated early on all objections to their agenda would be dressed as raciest. So no you deluded old man the blame lays squarely in your hero’s lap.

You’ll get a whole lot further if you simply point out that the Democratic Party’s great experiment in economic manipulation, The Stimulus, has not yielded the results they promised, and that several incidents of incompetence and corruption show that this administration is not up to the challenge of making good choices for this country.
You could even persuade a Liberal with that argument, and there is plenty of data to support it.
Remco Kimber commented:

That’s the same trick practiced by Muslims. If you have any criticism of Islam, you are considered by Muslims to hate them. Talk about being brittle. Constantly we hear how Islam has to be protected. From what?
Every idea must stand or fall based on its attributes. Good ones survive because they are, well. good. Islam only endures because of its inherent violence practiced first on its own adherents (leaving Islam subjects you to death) and then on the rest of us.
Spider commented:
Too bad Mr. Freeman couldn’t have just ‘shut up and sang’. I liked his acting and mistakenly got the impression that he was a rational, thinking man.
Scratch him and his movies off my list of things to watch.
Sandy commented:
Morgan Freeman you are a successful actor. Driving Miss Daisy is one of my favorite movies. You have done very well for yourself because you have a talent for acting. If you didn’t have talent you would not get acting jobs. Isn ‘t that the way it should be or are we supposed to let our nation go down the drain in the hands of a man who is clueless about how to fix it? A man with talent can be any color — a fool can be any color as well.

Well at least the line between Queerwood and the Raciest performers there become clearer with each passing day as Donkey Kong One ratings slide further South. Desperation is setting in. But then when I heard about his affair with a certain young lady I had pretty well written him off.
OT but if you visited the tweets on Attack Watch, check your computers for a bug known as grunt dialer. It appears the Lefties are vindictive little twits.
redriverstuff commented:
So tired. And many black people wonder why they are suffering. There is no conversation to be had without the race issue being brought up. What about the fact that he was unable and unwilling to get anything done his first two years in office when he had all the cards in deck? He’s failed because he’s a failure. A Harvard-educated failure. I certainly don’t hear this victim crap from my friends of Asian decent.
Larkin commented:
What Freeman and that other character are really saying, is that there should be a different standard applied to o BECAUSE he is black.
What else could they mean, given his performance thus far?
sliderblaze commented:
is it socially acceptable to start punching people in the face for calling you racist with no rational or reasoning what so ever? I mean a first, i was peeved, then i just didnt care, now, i just want to be able to shut them up and feel a sense of accomplishment. Obamacare will pick up the hospital bill anyway
Walden commented:
If you are so sure, Obama is losing the 2012 election, mortgage your homes, get a title loan on your car, and hock all of your personal property. Then take all that money to a sportsbook. Of course you won’t because you are cowards.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Go to hell buddy. You want us to like him based on his half black race. Life doesn’t work that way buddy. He has no character. He lies, he steals, he sells AK-47′s to drug cartels to make it appear as though Americans are doing it. No, we don’t have to like his skin color.
Swifty commented:
It’s sad to know with certainty that Morgan Freeman is a racist.
And obviously he isn’t educating himself very well or he’d know what the tea party movement is really about rather than what his fellow racists tell him that is exactly wrong.

They don’t even acknowledge his white half, and they have the gull to call us racists? It isn’t going to work anymore buddy. It’s like the boy who cried wolf. You’ve worn it out. At some point you have to be judged by your character, or in Obama’s case, lack thereof.
HE’S HALF WHITE. YOU’RE THE RACIST. YOU WON’T ACKNOWLEDGE HIS WHITE HALF. HE’S NOT AMERICAN BORN, AND HE’S DESTROYING THE COUNTRY. THAT’S WHY WE WANT HIM OUT. I’LL GO ONE FURTHER. I WANT HIM DRAGGED OUT IN LEG IRONS FOR COMMITTING FRAUD ON THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
DID HE OR THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD HE PUT IN OUR WHITE HOUSE, SET UP THE NAVY SEALS MR. FREEMAN? HE DID. DID HE SELL WEAPONS TO THE DRUG CARTELS AS A RUSE, MR. FREEMAN? YES, HE DID. DID HE LOOT THE TREASURY CALLING IT STIMULUS TO GIVE TO HIS CAMPAIGN DONORS MR. FREEMAN? YES HE DID!
This is why we want him out. He isn’t going to get away with it, based on his half black race anymore. He will be treated like anyone else.

He’s a great actor, a lot of talent, and has played in some great roles. I’ll never rent or even watch any of his movies ever again. I’m sick and tired of people in Hollywood smearing and lying about Conservatives.
Freddy commented:
Somehow a simple statement by Bill Russell comes to mind.
When Russell was hired to be the new black coach of an NBA team he was asked if he now felt he was being treated as an equal. Russell responded with by saying “When I can be fired and it is no big deal, then I will know I am equal.”
It would appear Freeman does not yet think that people are equal.
Stephana commented:
Yep we are going to get rid of the black man in the white house, one vote at a time! Change the Dope 2012.
Republicae commented:
It’s not the color of the man’s skin I have a problem with, it’s his idiotic retread policies that I have a problem with. I could care less what color the man is, but there is no excuse for the fact that he had no ability to govern this country or lead this government.
graham davis commented:
No Mr. Freeman, not because of the color of his skin. No way. It is because of his disingenuous behavior and his crony-socialism, exclamation point. Frankly, I don’t give a d**m what the color a person’s skin is; I select my friends and determine those whom I choose to vote for based upon what I perceive as their character and for no other reason. I most certainly did not to vote for Zero as anyone with an IQ of 60+ could see that he had snake-oil salesman written all over him.
Mad Hatter commented:
Ohhhhhhhh wait, he’s the same guy that if he could, he would committee voter fraud and vote for Obama 1,000 times.
“What I wanted to tell him is to get pissed off, get fighting mad,” the actor told the paper. “But I know he won’t because he doesn’t think it’s politically smart.”
On Obama’s chances for reelection, Freeman added, “If I could vote for him 1,000 times, I would.”

Wouldn’t one be a “racist” if you believe that a person can NEVER oppose the views of a person who is not your race?
That’s what’s so sad here. Liberals like Mr. Freeman, will not allow anyone to oppose Obama because he’s black. I would be insulted if my boss couldn’t give me any honest criticism because I’m a woman. That would convey to me that he/she doesn’t think very highly of me or my capabilities. This is not how this country will become post-racial.

If you oppose Global warming, you are a racist even if Al Gore is white.
If you are for guns, you are a racist.
If you don’t like Big Sis who is a white woman, you are a racist.
And the list goes on, and on, and on.
I must also be a racist for writing that post…lol
Indy commented:
I do find it ironic that a few weeks ago I saw a biography special that featured Morgan Freeman, he has quite a story. During the interview he was asked how do you stop racism and his answer was…”stop talking about it”
I recommend we let this stuff go, let’s take the high road and do nothing but report facts, we need to educate other about Fast and Furious, and all the other scandals, debt / deficit.
Invite people to tea party meetings, show them how we are educating ourselves on the Constitution and reading legislation, learning ecomonics and teaching others. Educate others, show them we are taking on the establishment GOP as well as the Leftists. Take high level issues and bring it down to a personal story that they can relate to…Cain did an excellent job of that last night with the story of how he beat cancer…the outcome would have been different under Obamacare.
I see things turning, I just saw a preview that Bret Biar will have coming up…a college student addressing the green energy scam…use the internet to share facts. Stay positive, be informed and work on your local elections, the GOP ground game is poor, we must turn out the vote in every election.

Morgan, Morgan….the prob isn’t that Obama is black. The problem is that he is a Red, or at least all of his policies are.
If America wanted parliamentary goof-balls, a king or queen (woman) or a collection of soviets which are councils like collectives iirc, then we would have scotched the Revolutionary war.
But we wanted freedom.

just received the following via an e-mail.. i’m not even going to bother
checking it’s specific validity.. it’s way too chock full of common sense
& honesty honest not to post..
Michael Richards makes his point…
and whether we like it or not, he is telling the truth.
Michael Richards better known as Kramer
from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.
This was his defense speech in court after
making racial comments in his comedy act.
He made some very interesting points…
Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans..
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’….
And that’s OK…
But when I call you, Ni**er, Kike, Towel head, Sand-ni**er,
Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. you call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you….
so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET…(Black Entertainment Television).
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we’d be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we’d be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites
to ‘advance’ OUR lives, we’d be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of
Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American
pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white
students scholarships… you know we’d be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed black colleges in the US.
Yet if there were ‘white colleges’, that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that
you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you’re
not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride,
you call us racists.
You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us.
But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or
beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a
threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud…… but you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??

That means the Tea Party is still an important part of America.
However — you’ll soon see that”weak” and “dark” are hardly the adjectives to use to describe a force that is determined to recover the greatness of this Country, once and for all.
Besides, please remember: You’re just an actor. That’s all. Pass it along to your like-minded friends in Hollywood.

approaching freedom and economic opportunity."

What’s happened to our older generation? It’s so disappointing to hear such emotional statements and straw-man attacks coming from an old man. Proof that a long life doesn’t equal long on wisdom. Looks like Freeman is not aware that those people he slandered are not too fond of Obama’s White 1/2, either!
Hmmm… Freeman divorces his long-time wife and hooks-up with the decades-younger step granddaughter. Starts wearing an earring and spewing Leftist slings like an indoctrinated high schooler. Looks like that great Mike Wallace interview was just for show. Oh well, he won’t be the only “John” who has been “Yoko’d.”

I wonder how much fun it is to work with a racist.
Patty commented:
Obama is the worse president in my lifetime. Whether he is black, brown, half white and half black, Obama has completely undermined this nation’s capabilities and ingenuity.
He has some real legal problems with Solyndra and who knows what else he has done.
He is too liberal for America but when you say something against him then the left calls you racist. So, Freeman is no different from any other liberal.
theBuckWheat commented:
When Nobel Prize winning poet Tony Morrison can write an October 1988 New Yorker article titled “Clinton as the first black president”, then what is “black”? When the NAACP calls the black conservative Kenneth Gladney, “not black enough”, and “not a brother” then what is “black”? When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, than what is “black”? And when Obama, a man whose mother is Caucasian, can tell us in a widely read autobiography that in his youth he struggled with his racial identity before *deciding* to be black, what is “black”?
When Bill Maher, during a panel discussion on HBO complains that Obama’s policies are “half-assed” “because he’s only half black.” and that “if he was fully black, I’m telling you, he would be a better president.”, and that “there’s a white man in him holding him back”, than what is “black”?
“Black” in all these contexts, as well as Juan Williams’s complaint on Fox News that the extraordinarily lopsided expression of Missouri voter sentiment in August of 2010 rejecting ObamaCare was really about race, is clearly not about “race”. It is about ideology, socialist ideology.
With respect to BHO being black: it is not about the racial characteristics he was born with, it is about the ideology he adopted. It is not what percent black he is, it is about how thoroughly red he is.

He’s an actor (a really good one, too). He gets paid to say things. Figure it out.
WSG, I think you may be onto something…I read yesterday that satisfaction with BHO among black voters is at an all time low. Why? They’re suffering just like everyone else. Unemployment among blacks is even higher than among whites. Morgan Freeman is shilling for the “black” president and making it about race, trying to gin up tensions between the races so they will vote for BHO again because he’s black, even though his presidency has been terrible for them.
I’ve been thinking about the flash mobs…and thinking back to how jubilant and truly hopeful the young, black voters were in 2008 when their guy won. They were scammed by a slick candidate and a complicit media and I’m sure a lot of them, MOST of them, probably truly believed it was going to be different. What if the flash mobs are evidence that this demographic is waking up?? It’s starting to dawn on them that everything they were told is a lie!
Bottom line: The folks who are awake need to help wake up and educate the rest of America. Don’t let the Morgan Freeman types distract you or create a racial bias you never had before.
Be strong, America. It’s not over yet.

The race card crap is as old and dried up as Pelosi’s nether regions. Get over yourself Freeman. Try adding that to you bucket list.

Another hits the wall! Perhaps Mr, Freeman would prefer to experiemce the glories of Cuba or Brazil, or maybe Ghana? Perhaps he needs to meet thw theater critic who’d like to exterminate the rich to understand what the dark side of America is. His loss, I’m sure he’ll enjoy keeping company with the likes of Michael Moore, George Cloney, and the other nut jobs.

L.E. Liesner commented:
There is only two conclusions you can come up with in dealing with Morgan Freeman’s statements, 1, he is stupid or 2, he’s a racist. Of coarse he could be both stupid and a racist, but that’s too much to ask for. One thing we know for sure and that is, liberals are not wrapped to tight.
tommy mc donnell commented:
the only racism here is on the part of morgan freeman. you can’t criticize obama because he is black, that is pure unadulterated racism.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reconsidering his decision not to enter the 2012 presidential race — and he says he will let top Republican donors know within days about his plans, Newsmax has learned. During the past few weeks, several leading Republican donors and fundraisers have been urging the popular Republican governor to reconsider his decision not to run and to enter the GOP primary. These Christie supporters note that significant GOP support has remained on the sidelines of the primary fight. Many leading fundraisers have yet to commit to any current primary contender, including frontrunners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Newsmax has learned that the effort to draft Christie culminated in a hush-hush powwow held in the past week with Christie and several notable Republican billionaires.

Sorry but this may be the candidate that will WIN THIS THING…JUST PRAY HE DECIDES TO RUN.
Family has been holding him back and that is understandable. But this nation is going under fast and although family is so important, I do believe someone with his character is just dying inside like the rest of us. I am very happy though. Sorry, for topic change.

Em commented:
Perhaps if the Tea Partiers had been paying attention in 1999, the largely white Congress wouldn’t have passed the repeal of Glass Steagall (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act by three white guys who wanted to give the banks permission to corrupt commercial banking with investment banking and vice-versa).
Then, we wouldn’t have needed two failed stimulus packages (one authorized by this President), and TARP, Cash for Clunkers, or the President’s jobs act (which does not address the reason why our jobs are being sent offshore, nor does it do anything to penalize companies who benefit from outsourcing by imposing import tariffs on their goods).
The reality that American jobs continues to bleed to the Communist People’s Republic of China, and that Wall Street, stock market investors, and the wealthiest people on the planet all reap huge profits by exploiting slave and child labor to make cheap, inferior, toxic goods to sell back to We the Peasants, must be something to which only racist minds could object.
Speaking of Communists, did Morgan Freeman endorse Nelson Mandela’s embrace of Communism and racism to fuel South African independence in choosing the role of Mandela in Invictus? This article from some time ago by Devvy Kidd asks why Mandela would align himself with an ideology responsible for the serial murders of millions to achieve the Red Paradise of Stalin and Lenin. This article is chocked full of links which expose the myth of Mandela and his links to Communism.

As for this racist Freeman creep….not another dime spent on seeing his movies or buying his dvds. Just Trashed Daisy and Shawshank and Baby Gone….hey…..it makes me feel better!!!
Warren Myers commented:
So how does Herman Cain fit into your philosophy, Mr. Freeman? Is Mr. Cain not really a black man?
Oh yeah, which political party filibustered civil rights movements? Which member of the US Senate was a member of the KKK? (Hint: His last name rhymes with turd). And which political party did the Reverend MLK, Jr. belong?
You, Mr. Freeman, are an idiot.
Patty commented:
The tea party is made up of all races and colors. There isn’t a majority of blacks, I would agree to this. But Freeman is free to speak his mind.
The problem is he is out of his mind if he thinks the majority of Americans are racist. The polls have shown that Obama job record is very poor and the numbers don’t lie. This majority isn’t all tea party members it is made up of All Colors.
I suppose that those of his age that lived through racism in the fifties just can seem to forgive and forget. Also, the majority of Americans are not racist. But a small minority of both white and black are.
Rev. Wright in my opinion is a Racist. Black Caucus is Racist. Black Panthers are racist. Maxine Waters is racist. And as long as Obama is president he will never commit nor comment on the attacks of these people and organizations. This is a fact. He has chosen instead to pit the classes against one another.
True any nation that condones Clinton’s actions would be ridiculous and not serving the American People, at least those with family values. Obama has scandals and so did Clinton of the sexual kind. But in Obama case his scandals are draining America dry.
Both President are shameful and Freeman is shameful too, to accept a president who is costing us jobs, spending more and losing more of the American taxpayers money.
So, this is no race thing, this is America’s future and it is hanging in the balance.

look at all the idiots posting.
you may not like what Freeman said, but he makes good points. NO OTHER PRESIDENT in history has been disrespected the way Obama has been.
I love how some of you say Obama is taking this nation down the wrong road mean while economist agree with his policies.
Its not Obama who is leading us down the wrong roads idiots, its the fact that he cant get anything done because of the divide in congress.
even if you are a conservative, you have to see the stupidity in the republicans.
In one sentence, you have them saying they control the president and bully him into doing what they want by saying they wont vote on his plans and things like that.
And in the very next sentence, they call him a do nothing president because none of his plans have passed. if you dont see the problem with republican logic there, then you are just a blind sheep.
look at the debt Crises … ” we got 98% of what we want” down grade happens. ” its all Obama’s fault”… hmmmmmmm.
republicans show their own stupidity and you sheep continue to follow them.

#107 “…he cant get anything done because of the divide in congress.” And just why is congress now divided? Because of what he did get done when he had both the Senate and House working with him.
You’re obviously still blind to all the damage they did in those first 2 years. It was such an assault on all we hold dear, it finally woke up many who’d voted for him. They began to see who he is, so they took from him what power they could.
Every day more Americans are awakening to the nightmare of this administration and are intent on seeing that he and the damage he’s done to our country are a thing of the past.

Moron Slaveman hosts “Through the Wormhole” on the Discovery Science Channel. I always thought it was a pisspoor choice (affirmative action at best, try to get black kids to like science, y’know) I never believed this slave of the Democrat’s 21st Century Plantation gave a rip about science. It’s all deception and incompetence as is everything they do on that side.
Tell Discovery Networks that you don’t want to have to look past his racism just to watch a science show.

I despise Obama’s Marxist ideology. Now take it from the top and tell me again how I’m a mental midget and a racist.
Your post simply serves as a sorry reminder that the world is full of “tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

He’s right about one thing. We’ll do whatever it takes to get Obama out of office in 2012. He is just delusional over the reasons why.
Yet, he admits that Obama is creating a divide like we haven’t seen in this country in decades. But, I would say it’s a bit one sided, there, morgan.

I’m a supporter of the TEA PARTY and this President hasn’t did one thing that made sense to help our economy prosper..He did promise 2500 jobs a day if he where elected and now nearly 4 years later, Now that he’s up for another term he is promising more job’s..I’ll stop there..But morgan have you ever thought about the man who climb though 500 yards of pure foul that’s unimaginable ..I guess if he would have been BLACK that movie also would be racist…Thanks for your voice in it..to me that movie will never be the same for me..
