Morgan Freeman Not So Color Blind As I Thought
by Brad Schaeffer
*** begin quote ***
Morgan Freeman is a truly gifted actor and a highly intelligent man who has starred brilliantly in a litany of my all-time favorite films from Glory to The Shawshank Redemption, to Unforgiven, just to name a few. But I think when it comes to race relations he is doing a disservice to his country and his own people (I guess we can put his race back on the table after all, 60 Minutes reprimands notwithstanding). He has resorted to the ugly charge of racism because things are not going his way on the political scene. This is all the more disappointing because in this country today we have very real divisions, the roots of which stem from diametrically opposing visions of what sort of nation we wish to be in the future. The last thing we need is to stoke the fires of unsubstantiated race-baiting when it is policy, not pigment, that is at the heart of the growing opposition to Barack Obama’s presidency.

Decades ago, after Jane Fonda climbed into the North Viet Nam anti-aircraft gun, I resolved, and have never watched ANYTHING about or by Jane Fonda. She, as does everyone, has the right to free speech. Also, I too have a right to free speech and a right to boycott her.
Over time, I’ve put others on that “list” — Roseanne Barr, Rosie O’Donnell, Alex Baldwin, Janeane Garofalo — of with whom I choose not to support or spend my money on.
For this diatribe, sadly, I’m adding Morgan Freeman to that list!

Sean Penn’s just a pinhead. Avatar was a cartoon! Matt Damon and George Clooney aren’t too bad; but Damon is getting close. Anything by Michael Moore or anything he says is suspect as “liberal” (in the bad sense) propaganda.
“Box Office Nightmare: Majority of GOPers Reject Movies Because of Liberal Stars… ” Drudge’s slug doesn’t really reflect the tenor of the article. I clicked over expecting to see folks that should be on my list but aren’t. Didn’t find that.
