"All things considered, blacks and the civil rights culture surrounding them are the most open and prolific purveyors of racism in America. This is an ironic travesty which spits upon the graves of historys abolitionists and offends all who are committed to a dream of equality under the law and goodwill among men.
Surely, such a claim is provocative. Unfortunately, it is also demonstrable.
In a recent interview with National Public Radio host Michel Martin, the Oscar-winning black actor Morgan Freeman made the odd declaration that President Barack Obama is not Americas first black president. NPR reports:
First thing that always pops into my head regarding our president is that all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him they just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white very white American, Kansas, middle of America, Freeman said. There was no argument about who he is or what he is. Americas first black president hasnt arisen yet. Hes not Americas first black president hes Americas first mixed-race president.
This is a new take on Obamas racial identity from Freeman, who has previously cited Obamas blackness as the chief motivation behind political opposition from both Republicans in Congress and the Tea Party movement. From an interview with CNNs Piers Morgan:
Morgan asked the actor, Has Obama helped the process of eradicating racism or has it, in a strange way, made it worse?
Made it worse. Made it worse, Freeman replied. 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 underlines that? Screw the country. Were going to do whatever we can to get this black man out of here.
Apparently, Obama is black enough to trigger baseless charges of racism, but not black enough to qualify as the first black president. If that makes your brain hurt, you might be rational........"
