And another goodie from the same column from Protein Wisdom including the video of Mike Wallace and Morgan Freeman

This part is from some of the comments on the previous column with video
of Morgan Freeman. This strikes me as being a whole lot closer to MLK
than Jesse and Al and NAACP are. MLK wanted a rainbow society where we
all just accepted each other as equals. Jesse and Al and NAACP and Mike
Wallace and Obama don't seem to be buying that one but Morgan Freeman
surely does and more power to him.

Seems appropriate to the discussion. What the Black Man Wants I'm
betting Morgan Freeman has read this.
"What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the
beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the
mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on
the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if
they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for
tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan,
and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot
stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a
chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his
way to school, let him alone, don't disturb him! If you see him going to
the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the
ballot- box, let him alone, don't disturb him! [Applause.] If you see
him going into a work-shop, just let him alone,—your interference is
doing him a positive injury.

There's your problem Makewi. Some thought they were helping to elect
Morgan Freeman. Now they know it was really the guy who played Don
Johnson's sidekick on Miami Vice, only not as cool or smart or
knowledgeable in the ways of the ladies.

Sounds like Mr Freeman has driven into the cul-de-sac and managed to
find his way out. Good on him. Wonder whether having the name Freeman
made any difference?
