re: Hollywood replacing white people in true stories with black actors

quote:

Morgan Freeman s character "Red" in Shawshank Redemption is an Irish descendant red head in Steven Kings book.

That doesn’t bother me because Morgan Freeman has the best mindset for a black person in America. They would have zero problems if he was a hero and not George Floyd. Also he was amazing in Shawshank.

Morgan Freeman: “I don’t want black history month. Which month is white history month?”
Interview: “I’m Jewish”
Morgan Freeman: “OK, do you want a Jewish history month?”
Interview: “No.”
Morgan Freeman: “Black history is American history. I’m not going to refer to you as a Jewish man, and I’m going to have to ask you to stop referring to me as a black man.”

frickin’ brilliant.

Edit: it wasn’t Charlie Rose. I don’t remember who it was.
