Morgan Freeman says Obama isn't "black enough" to be President.

First thing that always pops into my head regarding our president is that all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him … they just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white American, Kansas, middle of America. There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America’s first black president hasn’t arisen yet. He’s not America’s first black president — he’s America’s first mixed-race president.”

Morgan Freeman: No Black President For U.S. Yet : NPR

interesting....
 
I'd say he is America's first black President but that's just me.
 
Judging by his skin tone, Morgan ain't 100% black either.

Leaving no stone unturned, are ya?

Yup, I found this post is disrespecting because Obama confirmed that he's black so we should respect his wish, however he's biracial but he's still black.

In here, if white and black give a birth so they are black or biracial, whatever they want to call so respect them.

I won't like that if kokonut judges based on my skin color.

Morgan is correct that Obama is mixed or mulatto as some would say. Obama wants to call himself the first black president, so be it. But not the first 100% black American President as Morgan said.

Oh, Morgan is 100% black.

Milestones in Morgan Freeman's ancestry:

Between 1790 and 1860, 1 million slaves are forced to move from the upper South to the deep South to create the cotton kingdom. Among them are Morgan Freeman's great, great grandparents, Lilton Wright and Sylvia Cain, who are forced to move from North Carolina to Mississippi.

1930s Morgan Freeman's mother, Mamie Freeman, and grandmother, Lenora Revere, teach at the Mary Holmes School, in Clay County, Mississippi, the only school in Mississippi at that time dedicated to the education of black women.

1930s and 1940s Workers for the Federal Writers Project, part of the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.), interview former slaves throughout the South, including Cindy Anderson, Morgan Freeman's great grandmother.

1937 Morgan Freeman is born in Memphis, Tennessee.

I am totally shocked that he chose to blame Obama's failed policies on the Republicans.:roll:

Mostly Obama's undoing. Not once have I ever heard him acknowledge his accountability and actions and instead became the first president to blame everybody except himself.
 
So? He is entitled to his opinion just because he is an actor? He has plenty of strong opinions. I remember he has disagreed with the concept of celebrating Black History Month (Feb.)

Obama has considered himself Black. I consider myself multiracial. My brother's niece in law has considered herself biracial. Her parents are black and white.

PBS link has a video. Too bad, it has no CC. I suspect Morgan Freeman is not technically 100% black. The video displays his family tree, Albert Anderson, Mayme Revere and Hubert Freeman. The brief article did not say anything else about them. What were their backgrounds? If you know, please provide the information.

:shock:

I suppose I shouldn't call myself deaf then as I'm not 100% deaf.

The link still provides no information about their backgrounds of Albert Anderson, Mayme Revere and Hubert Freeman. The link focuses very general biography of Morgan Freeman, not the family history.

He doesn't need to. He has you and your ilk to point out everything you possibly can:
  • Bows too low
  • Throws baseball poorly
  • Golfs too much
  • Rides girlie bike
  • Smokes cigs
  • Mispronounces words
  • Blamed previous administration for the mess he inherited on the first day of his term
  • Wife wears shorts on AF1

And if your man Mitt wins, I fully expect the unemployment rate to be under 4% by Jan 30, 2013. If not, I will blame only him. O-Tay? That is 10 more days than Obama got from you.

Didn't realize Barack plays the wife, too.

Yeah, he blames everything for his failures.
