I am going to go out on a limb here and post a YouTube video. I’ll let it speak for itself and then give my opinion.
As mentioned before, I am from the South. Yeehaw… or something like that. I imagine that when people think of the South, at some point they think of racism and slavery. It is sad that one hundred and forty six years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st, 1863 race is still at the forefront of many people’s thoughts, conversations and reactions.
I suppose I am not following through with Mr. Freeman’s suggestion on how to end racism, which was to ”Stop talking about it.” But I feel that this video should be seen by as many people as possible. Especially people who have knee jerk reactions to cartoons news stories or people who benefit from pouring gasoline onto the racism fire.
Am I wrong?
I suppose this is another reason I like and respect Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman’s right… but my question is… how do you stop segregation? Everybody knows that the crowds at Wynnsong Theater look awfully different from the crowds at Hollywood Theater. Kind of like the difference between Williamson High School and Mary G. Montgomery High School, or the difference in Toulminville and West Mobile.
I think we should do away with affirmative action as it pertains to jobs, and assert affirmative action in schools and section eight housing.
Maybe? Just a thought.
