Morgan Freeman-oh yes we should listen to someone who slept with a 21 year old ( she may have been younger) while married...because he completely shows moral integrity

i believe trolls are attention whores who use race, because they know it will get attention.
Oh, I see what you mean!....people post in here to NOT have responses to their posts and if they get responses they are attention seeking trolls....

Hardly surprising that the same folks who were hailing Mr. Freeman as the next coming of MLK after his criticism of Black History Month a few years back have now returned to throw the man under the bus now that he is no longer towing their line. I'm glad he's telling it like it is and not allowing people's feelings on either side to influence his perspective. A true independent thinker he is.

So if Morgan Freeman said that 9/11 was a horrific event you would say it's bs?

Shoot the messenger and not the message

Morgan Freeman does not hates me, but then again I'm not a racist teabagger who thinks Obama is an illegal immigrant from Africa.

Trying to understand where he is coming from,I think he is 100% correct.
Morgan Freeman is nearly 75 years old. He grew up in the segregated south. I suspect he knows a hellava lot more about racism than most folks on CD.

This country IS being driven to the ground. NOT by the person in office now, but by this conspiracy of the Tea Party-backed Republican lawmakers, right-wing nut-job 24-hour news organization (which is REALLY a political machine), and myriads of people who listen, believe, and then self-drive themselves into this thinking of fear, hate, and refusal to see truth. I ALMOST want someone THEY want to be elected, just for the possibility of these people to settle down and return to some semblance of normalcy. Almost...

I don't think I could possibly calculate the damage statements like Freeman's does both to this presidency and to real racism. With interviews like these more and more people are going to move away from Obama, you people on the left need to realize this before it is too late.

If you think that a teabagging president, along with a teabagging congress = normalcy, you are in for a rude awakening.

Get ready for $2 hour wages, no child labor laws, no EPA, no FDA, oppressive government, search and seizure without warrants, ie. basically China.
