MIKE WALLACE, CBS`s "60 MINUTES": Black History Month, you find...Stop talking about it. Interesting idea, isn't it? I doubt Cory Booker would approve. 'The Squad" would doubtless go apoplectic. Nevertheless, it's the only way to end racism—stop talking about it. We already have laws against it, for a long time now, as we should. And they should be strictly enforced. But the rest of the blah-blah has got to go. It only makes people hate each other. It creates racism rather than solves it.
MORGAN FREEMAN, ACTOR: Ridiculous.WALLACE: Why?FREEMAN: You`re going to relegate my history to a month?WALLACE: Come on.FREEMAN: What do you do with yours? Which month is White History Month? Come on, tell me.WALLACE: I'm Jewish.FREEMAN: OK. Which month is Jewish History Month?WALLACE: There isn`t one.FREEMAN: Why not? Do you want one?WALLACE: No, no.FREEMAN: I don`t either. I don`t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.WALLACE: How are we going to get rid of racism until...?FREEMAN: Stop talking about it. I'm going to stop calling you a white man. And I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You`re not going to say, "I know this white guy named Mike Wallace." Hear what I'm saying?
Unfortunately, not long after the sane comments by Mr. Freeman, Barack Obama was elected and what seemed at first to be the end or diminishment of racism went the other way. The scab kept being picked, by Eric Holder and Obama himself. They couldn't let go of it. Soon enough, Morgan Freeman walked back what he said under the sadness of peer pressure.
And now we are where we are—in the land of AOC and Omar—every one of us racists until we die. The revolution eats its own.
