Morgan Freeman says US doesn’t have a black prez

Morgan Freeman has one of the best, most recognizable voices in Hollywood. The words that come out of his mouth always sound amazing — even if what he says is totally from another planet. In an interview with NPR, Freeman expressed his opinion about Barack Obama’s heritage, saying that he’s not black enough to be America’s first black president. “Barack had a mama and she was white, very white American, Kansas, middle of America,” Freeman said. He later added, “America’s first black president hasn’t arisen yet … [Obama] is America’s first mixed-race president.” Freeman also criticized the Republican Party for “purposely [thwarting]” Obama. Morgan, how ’bout sticking to words that other people write for you?
