In a recent interview with Michel Martin of NPR’s show Tell Me More, actor Morgan Freeman explains why he does not view Barack Obama as America’s first black president.
First thing that always pops into my head regarding our president is that all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him … they just conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white American, Kansas, middle of America…There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America’s first black president hasn’t arisen yet. He’s not America’s first black president — he’s America’s first mixed-race president.
