Morgan Freeman: Obama Made Racism Worse, Tea Party Will Do ‘Whatever [It] Can To Get This Black Man Outta Here’
Morgan Freeman, in an interview to be aired on CNN Friday evening, says that President Obama has made racism worse in America.PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Has Obama helped the process of eradicating racism, or has it in a strange way made it worse.
MORGAN FREEMAN: Made it worse. Made it worse. Look at, look, the Tea Partiers, who are controlling the Republican Party, stated, and what’s this guy’s name, Mitch O’Connell. Is that his, O’Connell?
MORGAN: Yeah, Mitch McConnell, yeah.
FREEMAN: Mitch McConnell. Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What’s, what does that, what underlines that? “Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.”
MORGAN: But is that necessarily a racist thing?
FREEMAN: It is a racist thing.
MORGAN: Is it not Republicans, wouldn’t that say that about any Democrat president?
FREEMAN: No, they would have gotten rid of Bill Clinton if they could have.
MORGAN: They tried.
FREEMAN: They did try, but still. I don’t, they’re not going to get rid of Obama either. I think they’re shooting themselves in the head.
MORGAN: Does it unnerve you that the Tea Party are gaining such traction?
FREEMAN: Yes.
MORGAN: Why?
FREEMAN: Well, it just shows the weak, dark, underside of America. We’re supposed to be better than that. We really are. That’s, that’s why all those people were in tears when Obama was elected president. “Ah, look at what we are. Look at how, this is America.” You know? And then it just sort of started turning because these people surfaced like stirring up muddy water.
Denial is the most powerful force humans have to deal with
Freeman should update his opinions with what Tea Party forums are saying about the the famous liberal black men Romney and Perry

I reckon he's not exactly Top of the Pops after last night's debate?
Perry, that is.
The Tea Party in Maine regards Romney and Perry as semi traitorous lunatics in league with Onstar to deprive everyone of the gun rights
They probably think of me as some kind of communist infiltraitor
From that you can imagine where the bell curve lies
Heh.
Epa, you Communist.
Of course, all of us have been called Communists here at IBA, because, you know, we support miscegenation and whatnot.
Hey! Quit usin' them damn big words!
Really disappointing, since I admire Morgan Freeman as an actor. I thought his performance in "Lean On Me" was brilliant...
I understand his emotional fix, you know? He HAS to support his guy. But you have to make sense, not take leave of it.
Here's something else we have posted on Morgan Freeman in the past:
