Is Morgan Freeman Right?

[Billlewis]

He reportedly said: 'How do you end racism? Stop talking about it.'

[Geckoman]

Consider this: speaking of racism only allows it to fester and grow. Racism is not an inherent trait; it's a learned behavior. We must stop engaging in open conversations about it, for only by NOT addressing the issue can we hope to dismantle it and foster understanding and change.

[ChooChooHaha]

Have you seen the whole segment? He has a point.

[Geckoman]

No, I don't think that I have seen the whole segment, only part of it.

That is just my opinion on the matter.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, he is right, but. . . there are too many people whose careers depend on racism continuing to be an issue. They cannot afford to let it die.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[Billlewis]

I had no choice but to give it to you; your comment is too accurate for me to do otherwise.

[CheriBlossomKisses]

Not at all. Racism doesn't go away if everyone just stops bringing up the topic. The only way for it to lessen is to do the opposite: confront it.

[ChooChooHaha]

Yes.
I think. But go through his whole segment. He has a point.

Morgan grew up in Mississippi and I've heard him speak on his experiences with racism. I think Morgan is talking from a bygone time. No not talking about racism doesn't make it go away. I think what he's saying is at some point we get better as a society and that at least should be acknowledged. Like I fully admit white privilege DOES exist. But white people still have to go to school, get an education, get a good job, etc. I can see why some white get angry being told they privileged. Because those people are just looking at thier lives. They're like, "where's my advantage"? "I had to work for everything". So for us to move forward as a society at some point we have to stop keeping score. I mean look at the middle east. Those MF's will never get along because they want to hate and settle decades old scores. They don't want to get along. It's a winner take all attitude. We get everything, they get nothing, or imma keep fighting.

Love it and agree. That’s what I say to those who keep asking questions about such topic.

[Snakeyes7]

He is completely right. I think the issue of racism in America is overblown, the most we ever have against black people and other minorities is now is through individuals and systematically through the bigotry of low expectations. Whites and Asians are systematically disadvantaged through political over-correction and any inclusion of these races does not make a group "diverse" enough.

[mysteriousNicholas]

We all have to stop talking about races and race - the only "race" we should be talking about are track running and car racing, not about the colour of people's skin and how it defines us, we're all human and let's be human ☺️😋

[Screenwriter]

Maybe Morgan is tired of hearing the question. Maybe he meant, stop talking about it and start taking action against it. That's the only logical conclusion I can come to.

[Syntosi]

Nah, that is not going to work. Racism exists because of stupidity and people being uneducated. Trying to avoid that issue is not really resolving anything.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

LOL I've been saying that for 20 years. He's right, of course.

[Seangreen]

Let me put it in my crude layman's terms. Shit or get off the pot

[Awesomesauce2005]

100% True. Racism has been inflated to ridiculous levels. Now you can't even make a joke about it lol

[Sal_Monella]

Entirely. Freeman is rarely wrong. Denzel, too.

[chrissykerdock]

pretend it's not there

[DrPepper12]

DUDE!!! YOU DON'T CHALLENGE GOD!!!

[qwerty2469]

No. You kill all but one race. Racism BTFO'ed.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I completely agree with him.

[AviatorTom]
