In my opinion Morgan Freeman is without a doubt one of the best actors ever born in this “Great” country of ours. The true racists cannot stand to be called what they are because that means they’ve been caught in the act. And when the get caught they back peddle furiously then blame the person who caught them in that act for their own short comings and narrow mindedness. It’s the only way they can justify their behavior and feel morally superior. Its a form of delusion of which a multitude of people in this country of ours suffer from.

Freeman is one hell of an actor, and a good guy. I’m not sure I agree with what I take to be his implied statement that the Tea Party would not be saying ‘Screw country first, let’s take this guy down’ if Obama were not black. I’m pretty sure they’d be doing very similar to any Democrat in the seat.

The Tea Party contains racists, does not discourage racists in any way, and uses racism toward its own ends…but I don’t think racism is its raison d’etre.
