Morgan Freeman Not So
Color Blind As I Thought
Big Government, by Brad Schaeffer
On BigHollywood I once shared my thoughts on the movie Glory and how Col. Robert Gould Shaw, commander of the 54th Mass., was an example of a post-racial man in his day – indeed he went to his death for his belief in the rights of the free Black men under his command with whom he shared a common grave. One of my favorite characters in this film was Sergeant-Major Rawlins, played by the esteemed actor Morgan Freeman. Rawlins, a grave-digger before enlisting in the Union army, is presented as an older, wiser and honest man

But, alas, that was then. I’m not sure what he puts in his coffee these daya but in his recent interview with Piers Morgan, Mr. Freeman reveals that, while apparently it is impolitic for Whites to inject race into the national conversation as he so correctly admonished Wallace for doing, it is quite alright for Mr. Freeman to slap down the race card when it promotes his own political agenda which apparently is to elect Barack Obama to a second term. And, as has become so cliché now, he levels charges of racism (*yawn*) at the Tea Party and the GOP as a whole for daring to make it their mission to end in November what they consider to be a failed presidency. Says Freeman:
“The tea partiers who are controlling the Republican party…their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What underlies that? Screw the country, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man out of here…It is a racist thing.â€
