'I'm an American, I'm not African' !! - Morgan Freeman

[denisem]

He's telling the truth. He wasn't born on another continent. You hear their nervous laughter.

[naturalinstinct]

Most of us from Mississippi including Morgan and several others from there understand this.Its when you leave the state your shocked at how many don't know themselves.

[MyIndianRed]

I remember him saying that. He is from Mississippi. They usually know what tribe they are from.

[erinwilliams]

Yeah, no one in my family ever addressed themselves as African American. My grandmother would shut you down referring to her as an African & yeah I tried it with her🤣 He definitely knows the truth.

[bobbobertson]

He knows the truth He's in the club Jimi Hendrix

[EagleArrow]

The hosts don't really get the deeper meaning of what he is saying.

[crecheshaw]

❤💜...💁🏿‍♀️as they laugh nervously..He setting the record straight..💯

On an episode on 'finding your roots' Louis Gates told Morgan his ancestors were African, according to their genealogical test. Morgan told gates his folks always told him he was Indian. Gates then told Morgan that his folks had told him wrong. That goes to prove to what length this government is willing to lie.

[robertjenkins]

All of a sudden, I became African. He's from Mississippi and it's so many family stories about it round that way.

[lottiespence]

Yes, Morgan know who he is. He's an INDIAN, & most of us came from Mississippi are indeed, Cherokee, chataw, or Chickasaw. Imma need ppl to do your first grade history! Peace

[FreespiritRbelle]

I bet he knows his pplz too. He didn't allow or accept the bs many have .

I can only imagine the distaste by brainwashed folks who see his statement as self hate. Yet he's speaking truth💯💚

[j.bost]

He's right we were born in America...I never been to Africa ..

[GaryGoodwin-bi]

[raymondmedina]

[elainegoad]

Americans are Canadians, United Statesians, Mexicans, Central Americans (the countries) and all South American Countries. America (north. central and south) is contenients not a country. Africa is a contenient not a country. Many countries in Africa.

[mellis]

Amazing how the meaning of things can change when you know what the person is actually saying. LOL

[louisianabrokenenglish]

[Tonyinnauk]

Yes we know black people were born & bred in all kinds of countries.But because of that curly hair & brown skin it's roots is from the continent some way or another so let's not play games der ! Uk
