Stephen Fry was talking to the President of Kenya years ago when Obama was first elected and he asked him what he thought about a person with a Kenyan background becoming the first black POTUS. The Kenyan President said "yes it's very nice but remember, if he had been elected here he would have been Kenya's first white President."
If he became president in Egypt, he (not Anwar Sadat) would be their first black president, because the Islamic world does the opposite, and goes by the father's ancestry...just shows how subjective "race" is.
His two comments dont contradict one another..... he was saying that racist will want to get this black man out of office, which is accurate, many racists do view Obama as a black man. Morgan Freeman however, doesnt consider him to be the first black president since he has a white mother. There is no conflict in the two thoughts.
He wasn't the 1st. George Washington wasn't the 1st president. There were about 7 before George Washington. The very 1st was a black man named John Hanson.
I also agree, he first said it just made racial hate worse because people trying to get Obama out are fueled by racial hate and aren't even hiding it. Then he just says Obama had a white mom, so he isn't just black, he is mixed. Summarizing so those of y'all who still don't see it's not contradictory, "Obama is mixed, but because of his darker skin tone, they want him out of office."
You and me both haha. The other day I was taking a leak and out of nowhere his voice started in my head narrating me and my healthy piss stream. I felt proud
Stay loopee and never vote , the world will be better off without your inbred pinion. that includes your following children btw and most in pot tant ly followers ! LMAO .
L00peey The man has the voice of a narrator, true. Agree or disagree with him, he has a voice that makes folks listen, and unlike so many other celebrities, he Thinks a little Before he speaks. Freeman is one of the intelligent who forms opinions without needing media or politicians to tell him what to think.
My only thought, and I have said this since President Obama was first elected, his election was an excellent step. But we will not truly have moved past the racial divide until a black president is elected without a word being mentioned about their race. That's the goal, as a country boy from Mississippi, I hope and pray we get to.
@@hollymerchant9550 Wrong. When Trump was president the country was way more racially divided because the media made up lies about him being a racist. They said Trump wanting to build a wall = racism and every news station perpetuated the same narrative that wasn't based on fact. This caused all minorities to hate trump and call all of his supporters racists and it caused a huge racial divide and set back race relations for a very long time. It was all based on liberal propaganda because they didn't want Trump to get elected.
Ok, so what IS black? Black is a mixture of a few different races/cultures. African, European, Native American and so forth. We are not as black as we think we are. And whites are not as white as they think they are. If you go back far enough, you will find that we are all from the same line. HUMAN!!! Get over it and stop wasting your time trying to separate yourselves! WE - ARE - ONE. Deal with it!!
Glenn Murdock 4 well i have black parents and none are white.? Obama wish he was black. And if we can't call Albion blacks then obama is not a black man. Ps he has one white parent. So fuck him mixed race man. We call them in Africa halfcast! Lool. Because we knew they not blacks
No such thing as black or white genetically speaking. 175 years ago many Americans considered Irish immigrants "non white". The fact that they are considered "white" now has nothing to do with their genes
If you cut off Morgan Freeman quoting what the so called average American tries to state, you can misquote him easily. You spliced together two videos to try to make Morgan Freeman look bad, instead of showing both clips in their entirety to allow for an unbiased view and opinion.
Stop making it about race or color or religion or sex or gay or straight. Keep the facts, facts American or not American the other stuff doesn't matter when it comes to politics and shouldn't matter. It should be about what can they do for you as an individual not what can they do for whatever "group" you are or want to be with. Once people start realizing that they aren't a group that they are individuals thats when people will stop noticing race, religion, sex and all that as a deciding factor

*This interview would be perfect if Piers Morgan wasn't in it. Other than that this is a pretty outstanding interview. Whenever Morgan Freeman says something it becomes a speech, and words of wisdom. That's why I deeply admire this man*
You hit the nail on the head strait up about being mixed. I was not aware he had a white mother from Kansas. And about his citizenship, even if he was born in the middle of Kenya/Hawaii/Chicago(Not very American, joking!)/ or even Siberia he would still be a U.S. citizen by law because at least one parent was a U.S. citizen. So end of story on all those rumors.
You have to be born in the US to be president, He claims to have citizenship and birth in America, (of which documents [birth certificate] ) as being born in Hawaii which would clear him, but his brother/half brother malik obama claims he was born in Kenya that his documents are forged, so him becoming president would be highly illegal/convictable and unconstitutional and a violation of America's Democracy/Republic. But not like anything is probably going to be done about it now it's too late he's too famous/popular and he's too high profile and embedded in politics and the system an he knows and the has the support of too many people who have factions of control power and influence. It's like going after the Clintons or Biden/family or someone involved with Epstein or child or people trafficking.
He's right but he failed to descibe the COLOUR of the so called mixrace person, which is BROWN. Therefore Obama is a brown skinned man of interracial heritage. But he is the SEED and off spring of an African because it's the man who plants the seed, not the woman.
Mi-Mi Canterbury ..no he's not right ..just because OBAMA'S mother was white doesn't prove anything , Obama gets 96% percent of his gene make up from his father...who was black as night..an the tea party did want Obama out of the white house not because he was black but because his actions were terrible for America. .after Obama left office should have proved that..he was corrupt to his core plus he was a George Soros puppet...
Hybrid [08]x in the US, they refer to anyone non white as black except asians, indians. The black gene pool in the US is so mixed anyway, how can you tell who's mixed or black? The same applies to white. So black is really the default term for anything. Race in general is a screw up measure. Who even knows for sure what their heritage is without a validated family genealogical tree. What in trying to say is splitting hair over this is so nonsensical. Cos if you do have a "real" black president but you don't have his family tree from 5 generations ago who says he's black or mixed or whatever. And those lines are getting even more hazy.
BlackAnvil47 that is actually a good question. I never thought of it like that. I simply thought all these Rascist Caucasians were all the Neanderthals that evolution overlooked. Even animals have a sense of self control not overridden by blind greed, control and an inferiority complex the size of Jupiter.
You're absolutely right mr. Morgan Freeman. I am proud and I mean so proud of you to make that statement that people needed to hear clearly from an African American male. And it took an African American man to tell the truth. Praise be to God Amen thank you so very much for speaking the truth. AMEN THANK GOD 🇺🇸
My point exactly Mr Freeman. And I wouldn't say anything about McConnell wanting him to only serve 1 term. That is exactly what Peplosi and her Puppets are doing now. Stopping Trump from a 2nd term. Touche
Does anybody remember him as the "Easy Reader" on Electric Company in the late 70's?? He has come a long way since then and I am always impressed with his views/opinions and thoughts in what goes in in todays society with politics,race relations and doing for yourself cause hardwork does pay off..
I swear.... 10 years ago it was the 1st time I voted for Republican parrty. Why? Im a single mother of a mixed... Black and White...child. All I kept hearing was he was going to be our 1st black prez. Yea? Was his mom not there during conception? He is our first mixed president. Period. It was a slap in the face being a single white mother of a mixed child. So when my son identifies with the black culture and ignores my white one, what does it say to me? I had no value in raising this fine young man on my own. Whatever.

There you go, Morgan, making too much sense! (Are you sure you work in Hollywood California?) If you could teach all Americans to think like this, (or to think at all), then all these "racial"problems would disappear.
Honey BBQ Wings no wrong he does not consider himself as a African american because he was not born in Africa he's was in America so that makes him a black American!
If Ben Carson is the Republican nominee and is elected, he would arguably be America's first BLACK President. The vast majority (over 90%) of African Americans voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 primarily because he is "black". Will those same people (Morgan Freeman included) vote for Ben Carson in 2016 because he is 100% African American?
Democrats get at least 95% of the black vote no matter who the candidate is..so Obama getting a large amount has nothing to do with him being black, no matter v what the pundits say.
+wordpressobsessed You now, it's funny when people say things like that. Jesse Jackson ran for president twice.. What was his voter turn out among black people? Why is it that people think the only reason Obama was voted for was because he was black, as if he was the only black person to run for president. Now when Ben Carson is not voted for in the same numbers by black people, will you continue to say blacks only voted for Obama because of his race? Or will there be another excuse.. he's republican.. But wait, Jesse Jason was democratic... so that doesn't fit into your false narrative either. I do agree that Ben Carson would be the first "black" president.. since most blacks consider Obama a hafrican, and don't claim him.. Talking to some it's like that song from Lion King 2.. He is not one of us, he has never been one of us, lol.
+La Bella Jackson had baggage coming into the 1988 Presidential election. And we did not have the social media and constant news coverage we do today back then. Obama was created and sold by the mainstream media. They avoided bringing up his past associations and painted him out to be the Messiah Obama is also 1000X better at public speaking then Jackson. Imagine having to listen to Jackson droning on for 4 years as President. Even Democrats could not bear that thought.
xlfutur1 Oh, so you're saying mass media elected Obama. But that is not what terriny is saying. Terriny is saying that black people voted for Obama simply because he was black, and that's just not the case. Maybe mass media was not what it was, but JJ got a LOT of air time, and a lot of promotion.. Again, he ran twice. So the comparison is, IF as terriny is saying, black people voted for Obama ONLY because he was black, Jessie Jackson should have gotten the same percentage of black votes, AND Ben Carson should get the same percentage of black votes. But that didn't happen and that's not going to happen. I am tired of people stating as fact that black people only vote for black candidates BECAUSE they are black and not because they have a platform we support. Maybe if Republicans weren't embracing tea party coded language, talking about the 47% and other fun things they do, and maybe if they would stop trying to dictate the happenings of my body.. as if politics needs to be in medicine, maybe if they had a comprehensive plan to help people instead of going, well, you know my father gave me a SMALL LOAN OF A MILLION DOLLARS and that's what got me started.. more black people would look at the republican party..
+La Bella "as if politics needs to be in medicine"? What the hell is Obamacare? If you believe that politics shouldn't be in medicine, then you are vehemently (look it up) be opposed to Obamacare. Tell us...in 6/12 years, exactly what has Obama done that has benefited the black community?
He's right about them tea party folk. They're completely nuts and I know because I'm old and surrounded by them out here. I was a conservative for decades but conservatism is no more and I'm now an independant voter. Bicker with each other and puff your chest out all you want if that suits you but never forget that it's ok to disagree and that we're all brothers and sisters on this little blue dot. I like Morgan's acting and he seems like a down to earth good dude. Have a good one
09/26/17 7:00 pm Ref- First Black President Before Barack Obama. John Hanson was the first black president. My mom was a history buff and that was one of the first true items that she taught me. Of course it did not go over well in school. Because George Washington was listed as the first president of the United States. George Washington was a good friend of John Hanson.
To be fair to Morgan, he was saying the *Tea Party* were saying or thinking "we gotta get this black man outta here". In the second clip, he was relaying his own thoughts.
Actually nothing went over , he actually made two unbiased opinions and showed how both the sides think with their own agenda. The republicans wanted Obama out because they wanted the Black man to be president to be only for one term. But the reality is Obama is mixed , not black. America never had a "Black" president. This is how both the sides of the political spectrum thinks.

There you go, Morgan, making too much sense! (Are you sure you work in Hollywood California?) If you could teach all Americans to think like this, (or to think at all), then all these "racial"problems would disappear.
Love Morgan Freeman what a great American God bless him
and now Freeman says he doesn't want to be called a black man... the side jumping is amazing
"Now"? When was that not his message?!
Honey BBQ Wings no wrong he does not consider himself as a African american because he was not born in Africa he's was in America so that makes him a black American!
Hey ..
Honey BBQ Wings Black is not a RACE it's a status that means you're not free, you're property and White means you're a free man
this man is and has always been one of the FEW I WOULD ever meet in the sesspool of hellywierd
When I saw the thumb:
"Morgan Freeman was the first Black president?"
I'd listen to Morgan Freeman read a dictionary.
If Ben Carson is the Republican nominee and is elected, he would arguably be America's first BLACK President. The vast majority (over 90%) of African Americans voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 primarily because he is "black". Will those same people (Morgan Freeman included) vote for Ben Carson in 2016 because he is 100% African American?
Democrats get at least 95% of the black vote no matter who the candidate is..so Obama getting a large amount has nothing to do with him being black, no matter v what the pundits say.
+wordpressobsessed You now, it's funny when people say things like that.
Jesse Jackson ran for president twice.. What was his voter turn out among black people?
Why is it that people think the only reason Obama was voted for was because he was black, as if he was the only black person to run for president.
Now when Ben Carson is not voted for in the same numbers by black people, will you continue to say blacks only voted for Obama because of his race? Or will there be another excuse.. he's republican..
But wait, Jesse Jason was democratic... so that doesn't fit into your false narrative either.
I do agree that Ben Carson would be the first "black" president.. since most blacks consider Obama a hafrican, and don't claim him.. Talking to some it's like that song from Lion King 2.. He is not one of us, he has never been one of us, lol.
+La Bella Jackson had baggage coming into the 1988 Presidential election. And we did not have the social media and constant news coverage we do today back then. Obama was created and sold by the mainstream media. They avoided bringing up his past associations and painted him out to be the Messiah Obama is also 1000X better at public speaking then Jackson. Imagine having to listen to Jackson droning on for 4 years as President. Even Democrats could not bear that thought.
xlfutur1 Oh, so you're saying mass media elected Obama. But that is not what terriny is saying. Terriny is saying that black people voted for Obama simply because he was black, and that's just not the case.
Maybe mass media was not what it was, but JJ got a LOT of air time, and a lot of promotion.. Again, he ran twice.
So the comparison is, IF as terriny is saying, black people voted for Obama ONLY because he was black, Jessie Jackson should have gotten the same percentage of black votes, AND Ben Carson should get the same percentage of black votes.
But that didn't happen and that's not going to happen. I am tired of people stating as fact that black people only vote for black candidates BECAUSE they are black and not because they have a platform we support.
Maybe if Republicans weren't embracing tea party coded language, talking about the 47% and other fun things they do, and maybe if they would stop trying to dictate the happenings of my body.. as if politics needs to be in medicine, maybe if they had a comprehensive plan to help people instead of going, well, you know my father gave me a SMALL LOAN OF A MILLION DOLLARS and that's what got me started.. more black people would look at the republican party..
+La Bella "as if politics needs to be in medicine"? What the hell is Obamacare? If you believe that politics shouldn't be in medicine, then you are vehemently (look it up) be opposed to Obamacare. Tell us...in 6/12 years, exactly what has Obama done that has benefited the black community?
The walls in my room are white
He's right about them tea party folk. They're completely nuts and I know because I'm old and surrounded by them out here. I was a conservative for decades but conservatism is no more and I'm now an independant voter. Bicker with each other and puff your chest out all you want if that suits you but never forget that it's ok to disagree and that we're all brothers and sisters on this little blue dot. I like Morgan's acting and he seems like a down to earth good dude. Have a good one
in the first clip, he was talking form the rep perspective, i believe.
Jews are in charge. simple as.
According to whom?
Only if you let them.
No she's absolutely right. Zionist pigs
They (jews) wish they were.
Jews aren't in charge, stop using us as a scapegoat to push your anti-semitic biases.
His last sentence is debated.
His job is to memorize lines & play pretend......
Why are some parts ommited?
hes also the worst president ever
Gosh his voice is incredible
I sure most white people who have american ancestors going back 200 years plus have some african american history.
Morgan Freeman cleared that issue up !
I have always felt that. Maybe someday.
09/26/17 7:00 pm Ref- First Black President Before Barack Obama. John Hanson was the first black president. My mom was a history buff and that was one of the first true items that she taught me. Of course it did not go over well in school. Because George Washington was listed as the first president of the United States.
George Washington was a good friend of John Hanson.
Dorothy Carter Plus he’s on the $2 dollar bill
Morgan Freeman has something rare most celebrities do not.
Common Sense.
actually Abe Lincoln is
It's not about race. It's about policy. We didn't hate Obama, we hated his politics.
oh just wait untill the next orange president
Hmm that guy kind of reminds me of Morgan Freeman,
Interesting perspective. How are we defining race? Half empty/half full glass?
Morgan Freeman voice is so cool .
Sounds bout right
Yells from the back- "WE'LL COUNT IT!'"
Abraham Lincoln was mixed, too. He was black before Obama was.
I'd be curious to see Morgan Freeman's ancestral DNA report.
Thank you Morgan!!!!
This video resonates with me as much as learning Vin Diesel used to be Drake. Not one bit.
To be fair to Morgan, he was saying the *Tea Party* were saying or thinking "we gotta get this black man outta here". In the second clip, he was relaying his own thoughts.
both clips are more or less consistent with each other, depending on the perspective in question. Don't disrespect Morgan Freeman; he's the man.
What Morgan said 'then' is totally true.
then and now have nothing to do with each other kmll this is just people how misconstrue a message. you are very right
No, what he said then was ignorant. What he said later showed that he had woken up a bit. If he can grow then you can grow. I have faith in you.
Sure they do. He thought one thing then and then realized that he was wrong later.
bonjour, mon amour!
i thought this was a documentary
I like what he said at the last part its so true !
Something went over somebody’s head.
Actually nothing went over , he actually made two unbiased opinions and showed how both the sides think with their own agenda. The republicans wanted Obama out because they wanted the Black man to be president to be only for one term. But the reality is Obama is mixed , not black. America never had a "Black" president. This is how both the sides of the political spectrum thinks.
As I type this. I hear Morgan Freemans voice in my head.
Why is it important, what color the president has?
SON OF A FUCKING BITCH, I FUCKING LOVE MORGAN FREEMAN, I love his down to earth mentality and has what most of America is lacking... COMMON SENSE!!.
For Gods sake we're ALL mixed race over here!
I think Morgan Freeman is losing his mind
Wow Morgan Freeman NOW is blacker than ever before,can't even see him!
You can't iridicate racism. Just like you can't iridicate sexism, homophobia, or xenophobia.
