Morgan Freeman said Obama is not Black
We all saw how Obama tried to position
himself as a Black person, so as to get votes of non-Whites. Even till date he
does occasional positioning, like when a Black teen died in a scuffle of
mistaken identity, Obama said that he would have looked like the kid, some
years back! Essentially, it was to show his sympathy and flattering towards
people from a particular skin color.
But the fact is that Obama is not
‘black’. Though it has been shared by many, here is what Morgan Freeman said:
Morgan Freeman told NPR's "Tell
Me More" host Michel Martin in an interview:
"They just conveniently forget
that Barack had a mama, and she was white - very white American, Kansas, middle
America," the Oscar winner continued. "There was no argument about
who he is or what he is. America's first black president hasn't arisen yet. He's
not America's first black president - he's America's first mixed-race
president."
"He is being purposely, purposely
thwarted by the Republican Party, who started out at the beginning of his
tenure by saying, 'We are going to do whatever is necessary to make sure that
he only has one term,'" Freeman said. "That means they will not
cooperate with him on anything. So to say he's ineffective is a
misappropriation of the facts."
