  • Say That Ish: Morgan Freeman No Likey Black History Month+Spike Lee Says He’s “Poor”

    Written by Natasha - Last updated: Wednesday, January 7, 2009

    Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is “ridiculous.” Here’s what he had to say about it in a “60 Minutes” interview airing on Sunday:

    “You’re going to relegate my history to a month? I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history…I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.”



    Black History Month has roots in historian Carter G. Woodson’s Negro History Week, which he designated in 1926 as the second week in February to mark the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Woodson said he hoped the week could one day be eliminated — when black history would become fundamental to American history.

    Morgan also said there is no “white history month” and says the only way to get rid of racism is to “stop talking about it. He also believes the labels “black” and “white” are an obstacle to beating racism. So his newish relationship with his white girlfriend he supposedly left his wife of 24 years for is his way of showing he’s colorblind? I’ll keep my comments to myself on this one.

    In other news, Page Six reported yesterday that Spike Lee told Britain’s Sunday Observer, that despite a Manhattan townhouse, Martha’s Vineyard home and kids in private school, he is not wealthy:

    He told me he had always intended his kids to go, as he did, to state schools. “But my wife put the kibosh on that,” he said. Lee balks at being described as wealthy. “It’s not rich rich,” he told me. “Rich is Spielberg. Lucas. Gates. Steve Jobs. Jay-Z! Bruce Springsteen. I’m not complaining. But that’s money. Will Smith. Oprah Winfrey – that’s a ton of money. Compared to them, I’m on welfare!”

    Um, ok Spikey. I guess “wealth” is relative.

      W/E, I like the idea of black history month because it at least allows the public FOOL system to focus on some positive aspect of blackness. Since most black kids are stuck in those hell holes, let them feel good about themlsevles for 28 days. If he PERSONALLY does not want to be seen as “black” then he shouldn’t exploit his blackness for things like winning undeserving academy awards and other honors. He has made a career off playing the magical negro but he doesn’t want to be a negro? LOL. It’s so funny how people want to pick and choose.

      Spike Lee, no one cares if you aren’t ballin’ like Oprah. Try making a decent film that people actually want to see and stop guilt-tripping black people for not supporting all the crap you have made since the 90’s.

      Ugh.

      It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate.

      I agree with Morgan to certain degree… Black History shouldn’t be relegated to just one short month… It’s American History dammit!

He should have said to re do all of these fucking textbooks to incorporate the tip of the iceberg that is our beautifully rich and successful history they discuss during the shortest month of the year[/quote]
      Thats like him forgetting who Emitt Till was and what happened to that young man about fourty something years ago. Go ahead and act like race isnt a big deal but we all know it is Morgan! SMH[/quote]

      I’m not saying that he’s right about race dissapearing and colorblind and all that shit but I am saying he’s right about black history month going away I been saying that shit for years.[/quote]
      No I was spewing all that out on Morgan! LOL I agree black history should be taught everyday in American History class!

      I agree. We are Americans. So like he said there isn’t a white history month and if Black could’ve handled up back in the day it just might have been a White History month. Our people invented the majority of the stuff use in the world today and since we could patent it back then it was stolen just like they steal everything else!!!!![/quote]

      I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…

      I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!

      And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…

      I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?

      This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.

WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!

      And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…

      I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…

      Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.

      [quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?

      This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]

      Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!

      Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something. Sometimes, you need to just make your own way.[/quote]
      Exactly. I love MLK but Malcolm knew that we wasn’t going to win without a FIGHT. He was all about sticking together, mixing and matching is why we look a fool nowadays. People buying “our” souls for basically nothing smh[/quote]
      I love the both of them. MLK was perfect for his time and so was Malcolm X in his time. They contributed equally to the civil rights movement. They just did it in their own way. Look what happened to Malcolm when he tried to teach his own, they shot him. Who did MLK get shot by? The other.

      Martin was a lot like Malcolm when he was younger more radical than rational. Martin I believe (the world is about to blow up) became a pacifier for the govt.

      You are taking Malcolm before he traveled on the Haj. After he came back from the Pilgrimage, he was a different person. He still looked out for his own, but the white man wasn’t the only enemy.

      I agree with Mr. Freeman to a certain degree. Since there are other monthly celebrations-women’s month, hispanic month, etc… we should just create a white history month and call it a day. America is becoming browner, more interacial, more transparent nation with time.

      so screw it- everybody gets their own month. Problem solved.

      So true! If we would have listened to Malcolm we would have been better![/quote]

      Think about it what did we actually need from them?[/quote]

      I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…

      I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!

      And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…

      I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…

      Lawd ya’ll done got me started!![/quote]
      Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.[/quote]

      Think about it like this..

      What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..

      I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!!

      I dont think Malcolm gave a damn about integrating with the white man…hell he was already integrated..(his mama was half white) and that didnt get him no where!!!

      If I would have been able to get over the fact that I couldnt eat pork, I would have been a muslim back then…

      Plus Malcolm was sexy to me…He had that Obama swag going on!![/quote]
      You are taking Malcolm before he traveled on the Haj. After he came back from the Pilgrimage, he was a different person. He still looked out for his own, but the white man wasn’t the only enemy.[/quote]

      Even still, he wasnt trying to really integrate…I dont think he was allowing the white man to join his new organization…they could donate money but they couldnt join… (if I’m not mistaken)

      Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something.

      In the end Malcom was for unity. After he made the pilgrimage and saw all of those races come together he kind of had a change of heart as far as Whiteman this & White man that, buthe was still for the Black people, but he knew he needed to broaden he views a little more when it came to other race. He changed and they didn’t like that so they assassinated him.

      In the End Blacks just don’t know how to stick together. We are haters of our ownself and it’s sad.

      I love the both of them. MLK was perfect for his time and so was Malcolm X in his time. They contributed equally to the civil rights movement. They just did it in their own way.

No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie!

      Think about it what did we actually need from them?[/quote]

      I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…

      I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!

      And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…

      I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…

      Lawd ya’ll done got me started!![/quote]
      Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.[/quote]

      Think about it like this..

      What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..

      I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!![/quote]
      Yes. But man is naturally greedy, he has unlimited wants (Buddha). African americans were brought here, so of course they were going to keep that upper hand on them. Just like with Native Americans. Though this was their land, the White Americans brought their technology and essentially took what was naturally theirs away.

      [quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?

      This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]

      That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.

      What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..

      I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!![/quote]

      That’s for real!

      Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!

      Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something.

      Exactly…I dont really care for Martin..I mean I respect him and all, but Malcolm was about HIS people first!!!

      I dont think Malcolm gave a damn about integrating with the white man…hell he was already integrated..(his mama was half white) and that didnt get him no where!!!

      In the end Malcom was for unity.

      Very true. However, Malcolm was always for “Getting ourselves together first…uniting within the black community first” We skipped that critical step and never been united as black folks ever since.

      And I dont wanna hear “all black folks being united” will never happen. Not a 100%…of course not. But if we can have each others backs like the Jews, Puerto Ricans, etc, I think we would be a lot better off.

      Exactly. I love MLK but Malcolm knew that we wasn’t going to win without a FIGHT. He was all about sticking together, mixing and matching is why we look a fool nowadays. People buying “our” souls for basically nothing smh[/quote]
      I love the both of them. MLK was perfect for his time and so was Malcolm X in his time. They contributed equally to the civil rights movement. They just did it in their own way. Look what happened to Malcolm when he tried to teach his own, they shot him. Who did MLK get shot by? The other.[/quote]

      LOL it depends. Being older and much more open minded, I see what everyone is getting at, but don’t put one on the pedastol. They both belong there. I remember Malcolm X had a problem in the way MLK was handling things. But what Malcolm failed to realize was MLK was a product of his environment just like he was.

Hating on another sista or brotha… My family came to my house and said we were living like “white folks” WTF!!!! No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie![/quote]
      Black people not only hate on each other but a lot of them have this mentality that once they “make it out the hood, they wont look back”. Other races arent like that. One person goes to college start making money THEN they make sure they give back. Black people tend to be on this well if I did it alone you can too. NO, if GOD has blessed you with things he blessed you not so you can keep it to yourself but so you can pass on those blessings. Blacks dont understand that sometimes!!!

      I’m not gonna dismiss MLK contribution to Civil Rights cuz he did sooo much and ended up dying in the end. But there’s a lot of conspiracies that I’ve heard about the “The March.” I heard that was supposed to be an angry radical movement and the wonderful C.I.A. turned into a “picnic” which some ppl don’t know the origins behind that term either.

      They used our own to shoot Malcolm. That wa just blatant. I loved Malcolm.

      [quote comment="370782"][quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?

      This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent.

      We need to start with the schools. I think our children should be segregated until they reach high school to start off. We need our own schools to teach them when that happens though. The white man (yeah morgan I said it) will NEVER give your child the tools he needs to succeed him. It will never happen that’s why we need to teach our own. Fuck the public school systems, we need our own curriculum to right these wrongs. When those children make it out into the real world they’ll be fully prepared to deal with them and they’ll be equipped with the tools to see through the bullshit

      See this is where I am now. I’m trying to figure out what to exactly let my boys know now. They still kinda in that stage of not realizing the differences between races. Like if you way White they dont get that. And dont call them black cuz they think they’re light brown. So yesterday I was reading them a book about Barack Obama but when they asked me why everyone was so happy and I tried to explain that he will be the first black President, or the first person his color to be preseident they were kinda lost. LOL I was like I’ll have to hold off on the real details till they get a lil older.

Do you know they hate to see us comming???? They love us when we can win championship games for them….. We need to learn to stand together and unite…Together we stand, divided we fall……[/quote]

      It’s sad cuz we soooo lacking on unity. I watch the Jews by me and how they have everyone in check…esp the police just off of unity.[/quote]
      Only black people lack unity. Asians, Jews, hell even white people stick together but black folks? Like crabs in a bucket…(NOT ALL but u catch my drift)[/quote]
      I agree! A lot of black people hate on other blacks and that’s what makes us divided. Hating on another sista or brotha… My family came to my house and said we were living like “white folks” WTF!!!! No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie![/quote]
      Black people not only hate on each other but a lot of them have this mentality that once they “make it out the hood, they wont look back”. Other races arent like that. One person goes to college start making money THEN they make sure they give back. Black people tend to be on this well if I did it alone you can too. NO, if GOD has blessed you with things he blessed you not so you can keep it to yourself but so you can pass on those blessings. Blacks dont understand that sometimes!!![/quote]
      Very true. They only want for themselves and leave the people whom they used to get there behind with nothing.

      He would say that since he’s with a white woman now. I usually ignore him because I feel like he plays the same role in every movie- either he is a servant to some white people or he is some sort of CIA/FBI/Cop, but this time he has gone too far.

      Racism isn’t going to go away because we stop talking about it WTH? The only way racism is going to go away is if people acknowledge their bigotry, educate themselves and stop using their power to belittle people of different ethnic backgrounds.

      We don’t need a white history month because every month is white history month. If he doesn’t get that as old as he is then I don’t know what to say about him.

      Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!

      Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something. Sometimes, you need to just make your own way.[/quote]

      So Agree!!!! I respected Malcolm’s attitude more!!!![/quote]

      Martin was a lot like Malcolm when he was younger more radical than rational. Martin I believe (the world is about to blow up) became a pacifier for the govt.[/quote]

      No!! You right!!! He became a token!![/quote]

      And it worked they knew if we became violent they had no wins with us so enter the implant.[/quote]

      The whole I have a dream speech was stage…at first when black folks decided to to go March on Washington the goverment had nothing to do with it..once they say how we had organized damn near the whole black community from every state to come together, that’s when they wanted to get involve and add various “other” speakers and help with the March…they didnt want to televize black people coming together in unison by themselves…they effect would have been to much for the country!! So of course the white man just HAD to get his credit!!!

      The whole I have a dream speech was stage…at first when black folks decided to to go March on Washington the goverment had nothing to do with it..once they say how we had organized damn near the whole black community from every state to come together, that’s when they wanted to get involve and add various “other” speakers and help with the March…they didnt want to televize black people coming together in unison by themselves…they effect would have been to much for the country!! So of course the white man just HAD to get his credit!!!

      It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate. He should have said to re do all of these fucking textbooks to incorporate the tip of the iceberg that is our beautifully rich and successful history they discuss during the shortest month of the year[/quote]

      Girl please and tell the truth about how things really went down…come on..when has the white man EVER accepted responsibility for what he’s done…

      Dont hold your breath on it!![/quote]

      It won’t happen and we’ve been expecting too much from him since the day we begged for integration *SMDH we should have tried for separation if anything and did it on our own.[/quote]
      Desegragation is what killed the black community…..[/quote]
      So true! If we would have listened to Malcolm we would have been better![/quote]
      Keep your money in your community…”We” have a problem with accepting the fact the we are black!!!! We think we have made it just cause we are the only blacks on the block!! Do you know they hate to see us comming???? They love us when we can win championship games for them….. We need to learn to stand together and unite…Together we stand, divided we fall……[/quote]

      It’s sad cuz we soooo lacking on unity. I watch the Jews by me and how they have everyone in check…esp the police just off of unity.[/quote]
      Only black people lack unity. Asians, Jews, hell even white people stick together but black folks? Like crabs in a bucket…(NOT ALL but u catch my drift)[/quote]
      I agree! A lot of black people hate on other blacks and that’s what makes us divided. Hating on another sista or brotha… My family came to my house and said we were living like “white folks” WTF!!!! No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie![/quote]
      Black people not only hate on each other but a lot of them have this mentality that once they “make it out the hood, they wont look back”. Other races arent like that. One person goes to college start making money THEN they make sure they give back. Black people tend to be on this well if I did it alone you can too. NO, if GOD has blessed you with things he blessed you not so you can keep it to yourself but so you can pass on those blessings. Blacks dont understand that sometimes!!![/quote]
      I agree with you 100%. You have many who don’t want to better their lives. My husband has 2 nephews and both of them have two kids and they’re unemployed. My husband called to talk to them about joining the military or doing something with their lives in order to provide for their kids. They said,”I rather lay around the house all day than to go to the Army or work at McDonald’s.” Guess what, they’re still Laying Up!!!

      Racism isn’t going to go away because we stop talking about it WTH? The only way racism is going to go away is if people acknowledge their bigotry, educate themselves and stop using their power to belittle people of different ethnic backgrounds.

      We don’t need a white history month because every month is white history month. If he doesn’t get that as old as he is then I don’t know what to say about him.[/quote]

      [quote comment="370802"][quote comment="370782"][quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?

      This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]

      That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.[/quote]
      Very much agreed. Until we work on ourselves, Absolutely NOTHING will be done. So we need to stop pointing the finger at everyone and take a good look at ourselves. But the problem with that is you have someone like Obama tell them whats wrong and everyone attacks him for trying to act like he’s “Better” than us.[/quote]

      I agree. When I was at the gym this morning there was an entire segment on the news about how high the black on black crime was in Houston itself. If I heard correctly, I thought she said Houston was leading that category out of all cities in America. Thats sad. I couldnt help but feel disappointed in us because all the idiotic things we do are multiplied, in my opinion, to discredit us as a race. No one will ever take us seriously because we wear our pants under our asses, sport colored weave, are drug dealers, abuse the system, umemployed, uneducated etc. It doesnt matter that this may be going on in other races but what folks dont realize is Black folks have to work two times harder than any other race. I absolutely HATE the stereotypes associated with our race. I dont think racism will ever “go away” but we HAVE to start sticking together.

      I am SO SICK of people acting like Jews, Whites, Asians and everyone else are more unified than Black people! I grew up in california around these groups and know better-they are as fragmented as we are. Asians and Hispanics divide themselves between the Fobs (fresh off the boat)and the American born. Jews fight over those born in Israel v. Europe v America. They kill and ripe each other off ALL the time.

      Does anyone read the paper? Did any of you read about Bernard Madoff, the American Jewish investment banker who stole 50 million from his own people last year? (I believe he’s from New York)

      I sick of our self-hatred.

      Sooooooooo Morgan Freeman doesn’t like Black History Month? That’s pure craziness. Although I feel like Black History is American History and should be incorporated into history lessons EVERYday, it’s still good to take the time to really focus on the accomplishments of our people. Because please believe that if we got rid of Black History Month, there would be NO Black History taught in schools. What I am sick of is Black History being limited to MLK Jr, Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks. Ok, we know alllllll about them now. There’s so much of our history getting left out. If anything that’s what Black History Month should be about. Educated the masses about our true history. Done.

      [quote comment="370861"][quote comment="370802"][quote comment="370782"][quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?

      This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]

      That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.[/quote]
      Very much agreed. Until we work on ourselves, Absolutely NOTHING will be done. So we need to stop pointing the finger at everyone and take a good look at ourselves. But the problem with that is you have someone like Obama tell them whats wrong and everyone attacks him for trying to act like he’s “Better” than us.[/quote]

      I agree. When I was at the gym this morning there was an entire segment on the news about how high the black on black crime was in Houston itself. If I heard correctly, I thought she said Houston was leading that category out of all cities in America. Thats sad. I couldnt help but feel disappointed in us because all the idiotic things we do are multiplied, in my opinion, to discredit us as a race. No one will ever take us seriously because we wear our pants under our asses, sport colored weave, are drug dealers, abuse the system, umemployed, uneducated etc. It doesnt matter that this may be going on in other races but what folks dont realize is Black folks have to work two times harder than any other race. I absolutely HATE the stereotypes associated with our race. I dont think racism will ever “go away” but we HAVE to start sticking together.[/quote]

      I understand what I AM ME is saying, but if we took our children out of school to teach them ONLY about our history..then how will that help them at that job interview at that law firm.. There are some parents who are very educated and can teach their children how to be doctor’s and thangs, but what about that single mom that has not even a GED… Would that be fair to her?

      I’m not talking about the school teaching math and science and stuff like that. I know we need schools for that!!! LOL What I’m talking about is people RELYING on schools to teach children about their history, BLACK HISTORY. PARENTS, people in the community need to do that!![/quote]

      No Toya but History is a class and that should damn well be taught better in the schools not just in Feb. How you feel teaching your child all they know at home but it gets dismissed as a mere nothing in school?? Of course we need to do our part but the school systems def play a part as well!!!!

      I think that people should look at Obama as an inspiration. Look at all he’s been through in his life and how far he’s come. No, he’s not God, but I do believe that he has the opportunity to show Black people that it’s ok to be smart and successful and care about your community.

      Black= Power and the White man knew that! We are descendants of Kings & Queens so why are we still at the bottom? This below lets you know how much power we had and alot of theses people had no formal education or knowledge of self so guess what it was taken!!!! So what’s our excuse now?

      Elijah McCoy (1843–1929) invented an oil-dripping cup for trains.
      Other inventors tried to copy McCoy’s oil-dripping cup. But none of the other cups worked as well as his, so customers started asking for “the real McCoy.” That’s where the expression comes from.

      Lewis Latimer (1848–1928) invented an important part of the light bulb — the carbon filament.
      Latimer worked in the laboratories of both Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell.
      (NOW LOOK WHO HE WAS WORKING WITH..can we say theives)

      Jan Ernst Matzeliger (1852–1889) invented a shoemaking machine that increased shoemaking speed by 900%!

      Granville T. Woods (1856–1910) invented a train-to-station communication system. With only the education of a 10yr old!!!

      George Washington Carver (1860–1943) invented peanut butter and 400 plant products!
      Carver was born a slave. He didn’t go to college until he was 30.

      Otis Boykin (1920–1982) invented the electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the pacemaker.
      Boykin invented 28 different electronic devices.

      Dr. Patricia. E. Bath (1949–) invented a method of eye surgery that has helped many blind people to see.
      Dr. Bath has been nominated to the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

      Garrett Morgan (1877–1963) Morgan also invented the first traffic signal.

      Daniel Hale Williams – Is credited with having performed open heart surgery on July 9, 1893 before such surgeries were established. In 1913, Daniel Hale Williams Williams was the only African American member of the American College of Surgeons

      And if we’re running the schools it will be our job. The village needs to start raising these kids[/quote]
      Halleuyah! Thats the whole problem. Everyone is out for self. In my church (predominately Nigerian) We are like a village. You get your ass slapped by anyone, and then they gonna tell your mother or pops whos gonna slap ya ass again. We are all family. It aint just you alone, its everyone.[/quote]

      What happened to that???? All of my neighbors have checked my ass in some form or fashion growing up cause if I got out of hand when moms wasn’t around they took care of it and then told my momma when she got home. We need that back[/quote]

      PRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAACHHH!!!!! You couldnt get away with shit with your nosy ass neighbors. Your parents knew EVERYTHANG!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

      Yo Ms. Johnson (RIP) used to Fuck me UPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! then she’d sit on my porch with me to wait for my momma *SMDH I wish I knew how much I loved her then as I know now she kept me out of a lot of shit[/quote]
      Ms Helen across the street…..If we got outta line, she would beat our tails and when my mom got home, she would also…That’s what’s missing…we never want anyone else to tell our bad ass bay-bays nothing…knowing full well the bad than a mutha…[/quote]
      Exactly, we need that kind of discipline these days for these bad ass kids, when I used to act up in school, I would get beat from my teacher, then my old southern grandmama, then my mother. I bet you I was respectful all my life though. These days the kids are cussing out the parents and beating the teachers. No respect for themselves or their elders. SMH

      We are far from done!!! This is a hugeeee step but done? Naw, we haven’t even begun. I say that all the time, HE IS NOT GOD, he has a lot of trash to deal with because of Bush…Personally, Barack can do NOTHING for u, u have to get up off ur ass to do what u gotta do![/quote]
      I think that people should look at Obama as an inspiration. Look at all he’s been through in his life and how far he’s come. No, he’s not God, but I do believe that he has the opportunity to show Black people that it’s ok to be smart and successful and care about your community.[/quote]
      No doubt! He is certainly one of my inspirations but I just know he cannot do it all, that at some point Ima have to get up and do something for myself!

      I’m not talking about the school teaching math and science and stuff like that. I know we need schools for that!!! LOL What I’m talking about is people RELYING on schools to teach children about their history, BLACK HISTORY. PARENTS, people in the community need to do that!![/quote]

      No Toya but History is a class and that should damn well be taught better in the schools not just in Feb. How you feel teaching your child all they know at home but it gets dismissed as a mere nothing in school?? Of course we need to do our part but the school systems def play a part as well!!!![/quote]
      Yeah they do but I also said when people RELY on the school. A lot of parents let their kids go to school and have no interest on what their kids even learned or talked about that day. And of course school systems need to be changed but families and communities have to have an active role in that also. Make them change. Not seeing at home and WISHING they changed. People need to stop saying what other people NEED to be doing, AND DO IT. Before Black history month, black children were still learning about it. How? PARENTS, COMMUNITIES. There are no real communities anymore.

      Agree. It really does start in the home. Reading is truly fundamental. Especially as a Black man. We have to raise our boys to be pillars of our community. Teach them to unselfish, caring, confident, and knowledgable.

      It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate.

      So true! If we would have listened to Malcolm we would have been better![/quote]

      Think about it what did we actually need from them?[/quote]

      I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…

      I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!

      And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…

      I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…

      Lawd ya’ll done got me started!![/quote]
      Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.[/quote]

      Think about it like this..

      What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..

      I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!![/quote]

      That’s for real![/quote]
      White people will never give you anything… You have to work for. White people didn’t give Barack Obama a chance 9at first) …he worked for it! KEY WORD = Worked.

Seriously. I love it. I can go on and on about what many of us know to be true, but the real truth of the matter is WE CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!! If someone brought the truth in front of us and told us what was being done to us and how we’re slowly dying we’d surely dismiss it. Girl you ARE ON POINT. Remind me of the radical friend I had in college.[/quote]
      Yup, I laugh at the black people who think we are done because Barack is president :lol: Foooolish![/quote]
      PREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH!!![/quote]

      S&J YOU AINT NEVA LIED!!!! That’s what kills me. You hear ppl saying “Now that Barack is Prez” like that’s their ticket to not having to do a damn thing. This man is not God…he don’t perform miracles. He is just a man tryna to make a difference and the only way that can happen is everyone doing their part…..step up and do you.[/quote]
      We are far from done!!! This is a hugeeee step but done? Naw, we haven’t even begun. I say that all the time, HE IS NOT GOD, he has a lot of trash to deal with because of Bush…Personally, Barack can do NOTHING for u, u have to get up off ur ass to do what u gotta do![/quote]
      I think that people should look at Obama as an inspiration. Look at all he’s been through in his life and how far he’s come. No, he’s not God, but I do believe that he has the opportunity to show Black people that it’s ok to be smart and successful and care about your community.[/quote]
      No doubt! He is certainly one of my inspirations but I just know he cannot do it all, that at some point Ima have to get up and do something for myself![/quote]
      And as quiet as it’s kept although I love Barack no forum has he said anything about direct changes that he will implement in the black community because that is not his job as the president. He has to be there for every race of people in this country. Even though we already know that people like Bush and former regimes have only really cared about the domination of the white people, Barack is actually gonna be the people’s pres. He is not going to take sides because realistically he can’t especially when African Americans only make up about 11% of the population, so once again us as black people need to get it together!

      Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…

      Ur so right, it’s like those of us who are Christians. We are so deep, but people of other religions such as Jews and Muslims no more about our word and history then we do. It’s really a shame. They know our Bible back and front, but we can’t quote a scripture besides “Jesus wept” just like the little kids that know all of the rap lyrics but not one times table or how to spell their words

      I agree but as a Christan I feel its more the infrastructure and institution of “church” than the belief in Christ itself. But your right if your just going to blindly follow any faith your setting yourself up for failure in a way.

      But see the problem is that we all grew up being told it’s wrong to question our faith. That’s what I mean when i say research! There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to Christianity for me. And how can you put all your faith into any religion really? They’re all man made to me. And I don’t put my faith in no Man. I believe in a higher Being.

      And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in

      Me neither that’s why I keep looking back in :-) People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face.

      Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
      LMAO…talking bout we’ll get our pie in the sky. Has anyone came back and told you about it yet!! Seriously, why can’t we have our peace/heaven right here on earth? Gosh, this was heavy today, just the way I like it.[/quote]

      No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
      Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.

      But see the problem is that we all grew up being told it’s wrong to question our faith. That’s what I mean when i say research! There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to Christianity for me. And how can you put all your faith into any religion really? They’re all man made to me. And I don’t put my faith in no Man. I believe in a higher Being.[/quote]

      More blood has been spilled over religion than anything. Christianity is no different.

      Has anyone read that Chinua Achibe book “Things Fall Apart”?

      I would not say the institution of Christianity was a bad thing because we do not know God’s purpose for doing so. The way religion was used was to justify the wrong that they were doing which was wrong. But then again, there aren’t many White Muslims that came to America to convert anyone. If you look at Africa, you may see some influence, but in America, most of the slavetrade was carried out of mainly countries that practiced Christianity.

      Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]

      PPPRRREACHHH!!!! I carry the same title…i’m spiritual but dont follow any religion and dont do church…I respect the ones that do but I’ve been through them all and choose to just live my life as a spiritual being….People so religious and Christmas suppose to be a part of that yet it’s not Christ b-day…just another made up holiday[/quote]
      I know Love. That’s why I haven’t been to church. it;’s not because I don’t believe in a Higher Power, but something just ain’t right. The more educated you become about things the more you question things, not that I am questioning God, but we are like “The lost Tribe” No roots, no background, we know nothing, no history….It’s crazy when you sit down and think about it

      We’re also taught to serve one god but all the rituals and holidays of Christianity were adopted from the pagans the church slaughtered how’s that for hypocritical

      And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
      Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…

      Absolutely. You feel guilty for questioning. That’s why I swear, I CANNOT have these conversations w/ just any black person. They will look at you like you’re a disciple of satan.
