> Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is "ridiculous." "You're going to relegate my history to a month?" the 68-year-old actor says in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history." . . .

> Freeman notes there is no "white history month," and says the only way to get rid of racism is to "stop talking about it."

> The actor says he believes the labels "black" and "white" are an obstacle to beating racism.

> "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man," Freeman says.

I don't know anything about Freeman's beliefs or politics, but this statement is right on. When I first saw the headline to this story ("Freeman Criticizes Black History Month"), I thought maybe he was mad because the chosen month is February, the shortest month of the year.
