Morgan Freeman slammed the terms “Black History Month” and “African American” on Saturday claiming that both terms were an “insult.”
The 85-year-old actor told The Sunday Times the annual observance — which takes place every February and recognizes the cultural achievement of black people — has a negative connotation to him and that it “relegates” his culture to just 4 weeks.
“Two things I can say publicly that I do not like,” said the “Million Dollar Baby” star. “Black History Month is an insult. You’re going to relegate my history to a month?”
“Also ‘African-American’ is an insult. I don’t subscribe to that title,” continued Freeman. “Black people have had different titles all the way back to the n-word and I do not know how these things get such a grip, but everyone uses ‘African-American.’ What does it really mean?”

He's gonna lose his black card if he's not careful.
Good for Mr. Freeman. I will either say "Black" or an "American of African Descent." The only true African Americans I know are my minister and his wife. Both were born and raised in Kenya before emigrating to the US via France and England.
