QOTD: Morgan Freeman Doesn't Think Obama Is America's First Black President
Here we go again....
Morgan Freeman was a guest on NPR'S Tell Me More show the other day to promote one of his new movies and somehow the conversation moved into the topic of Obama and how the Republican Party had it out for Obama from the beginning. Morgan thinks that one of the problems is that we keep calling Obama the first black president when he's really America's first mixed-race president. Obama has said before that he identifies himself as an African-American dude. (Side note: I'm mixed and whenever somebody asks me which side I identify with most, I tell them the side that gets me the best presents for my birthday. It's the only logical way of looking at it.) Here's how Morgan Freeman broke it down for us:
"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. 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's only going to serve one term.' That means they will not cooperate with him on anything. So to say he's ineffective is a misappropriation of the facts."
And it was just last year when Morgan Freeman called Obama a black man while talking to Piers Morgan about the Tea Party crazies:
"Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What’s, what does that, what underlines that? 'Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.'"
WHICH IS IT, MORGAN FREEMAN? Stop allegedly boning your step granddaughter and clarify this shit. This nation needs to know whether or not Morgan Freeman thinks Obama is a black man or a mixed-race man. WE NEED TO KNOW. No, we don't, but we do need Morgan to answer Harvey Levin's calls about Katie Holmes and Tommy Girl. The only tea I want MF to spill is TomKat tea.
• 
I don't care about this guy at all or condone what he allegedly does, but his opinion doesn't automatically become invalid because he fucked on his granddaughter. I can't wait for Roman Polanski to tell us grass is green so everyone can say he's full of shit because he raped a girl.
As Hoke in DRIVING MISS DAISY he was awesome !
Abe Lincoln had to have had some mixed heritage in his family lineage somewhere.

I can't wait for Dlisted's Experts on Race and Racism - who are all privileged whites - to weigh in on biraciality and blackness in America.
It could be worse. We could have Europeans prattling on about the subject.
Thank you Mr. Circus Truck! Seriously- that needed to be said.

Dog-It's all over the internet btw...ny times, abc, nbc, everyone ran articles about it in 2007. We're all fooling ourselves that we are electing someone different. When you're in London, walk by Bush House and talk to me about it sometime. :)

It always bothers me that he denies that his Mom is not only white...but was Dick Cheney's cousin. Maybe that is something he was hoping his liberal support base wouldn't find out. That's not even conspiracy theory shit. Obama's mama is Dick Cheney's cousin. There was great biography that came out about her about two years ago...had photos of them all together.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I can't tell if your being facetious or serious, but this is patently false. Lynn Cheney wrote a book claiming Obama and Dick Cheney had a distant relative.
Keep in mind this is Lynn Cheney saying this. Don't know if anyone every actually verified anything.
+++++According to her spokeswoman, Sen. Obama, D-Ill., is a descendent of Mareen Duvall. This French Huguenot’s son married the granddaughter of a Richard Cheney, who arrived in Maryland in the late 1650s from England, said Ginny Justice, a spokeswoman for Lynne Cheney.
The vice president’s full name is Richard B. Cheney.++++++++++++
Hi Leenie. Some touchy people up in here today!

I've heard that before. Colin Powell is supposedly related to Queen Elizabeth. It supports the conspiracy theory that all presidents/leaders of countries are born of families in the Illuminati and they get to be president by birthright, not by votes. At least that's what my conspiracy believing relatives say.

Not exactly, kiwikim. Obama and Cheney are related, but further back than his mother and Cheney's generation:

I wonder if he really was having an affair with his grand daughter? That is not good.
@Dog, yes bitch. Obama's mother is Dick Cheney's cousin. It's not a secret. He doesn't deny it (I miswrote that earlier). It's in her biography. And it's not some weird conspiracy bullshit that the republicans always pull out of their ass about Obama's dual citizenship or something. Why would Obama talk about it? Everyone hated Bush/Cheney, so that would have been bad. And for the Republicans to point it out would mean they'd have to claim him as their own. It remains a totally true, but little known fact.

If you are voting one way or another based on skin color alone, your privilege to vote should be taken away.
I totally agree with Morgan. I think it's cooler that Obama is mixed race. That says more about America than him being a part of that black midwestern church, corrupt illinois politics thing.

I wish Joe Biden were president. He seems more like a walk the talk liberal to me than bail out the banks, I don't support gay marriage (pre election), going to reverse the horse slaughter thing, etc etc that Obama is all about.

All I'm gonna say is...it's not up to everyone else to decide what race or gender someone else is. How someone self-identifies is his or her business and people should respect that.

And if you are lucky enough to be his step-granddaughter he'll read you a bedtime story AND THEN fuck you to sleep!

I actually met Morgan Freeman and found him to be a very polite and nice man. Having said that, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Thanks Luci Sam!

I can't wait for Dlisted's Experts on Race and Racism - who are all privileged whites - to weigh in on biraciality and blackness in America. They would first refer to the great authority of their "black friend" as gauge; then draw on the tried and tested "I've met *many* biracial people who..." to support their bullshit; and by Monday it'll be just one ignorant idiot after another posting.
Not touching this one with someone else's dick. Have a nice weekend.
I also grew up mixed race, and people regularly asked me what I was and what side was I on. I remember some fucking idiot in high school saying there was going to be a race war (not in America mind you, at the fucking high school after class) and I would have to chose what side. I said that was the stupidest thing I ever heard, and who the hell schedules a fucking race war? First PE and that algebra test, then lunch, hey it's pizza day, then the race war!!!
My mother is my mother and my father my father. I don't have to chose, it just is.
