    How does the CIA celebrate Black History Month?
    By 1985, the CIA’s use of Black History Month and its associated presentations were actively being turned to the Agency’s benefit. Carl Rowan was the guest speaker that year. That June, CIA Director William “Bill” Casey wrote Rowan a letter thanking him for using his speech at the Agency’s Black History Month observance.

    Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is "ridiculous."

    "You're going to relegate my history to a month?" the 68-year-old actor says in an interview.

    "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."

    Freeman notes there is no "white history month," and says the only way to get rid of racism is to "stop talking about it."

    The actor says he believes the labels "black" and"white" are an obstacle to beating racism.

    "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man," Freeman says.

      What he should have said is. Racism is the rich mans way to divide the poor & middle class. I wonder why a rich man wouldn't say that?

      He must of never heard of the class war. To bad he's stuck on the rich mans lawn.

        100% correct obviously.

        But "racisim" is a business to the left the same way as open borders and DACA are. The left is motivated to stoke racism and illegal immigration, not solve the issues.

          He's not all right or all wrong. A little Uncle Tom in those statements. I think once he made it, Freeman sold out a little.
