For Black History Month
#3
RE: For Black History Month
The point Morgan Freeman was making is that there shouldn't be a black history month in the first place, (1) because you're relegating it to a month, and (2) because black history is American history, and if you teach it as something different, it breeds the idea that black people are different. His point at the end is the more important one; if you stop pointing out the differences in people, you stop the ideas of racism in their tracks; there can be no racism if nobody sees or talks about "race" in the way they do today. Why distinguish between a "white" man and a "black" man? They're both men aren't they?
