Morgan Freeman, who continues to prove himself to be the coolest human being who ever lived, won't be celebrating Black History Month this February:

"I don't want a black history month. You're going to relegate my history to a month?"...

The Shawshank Redemption star said: "Black history is American history."

In a US TV interview, Freeman said the only way to end racism was to "stop talking about it".

The 68-year-old called for an end to the use of the words "black" and "white".

He said: "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

We need to create a national honor called the Most Awesome Dude In History Medal and give it to Morgan Freeman for a lifetime of achievement. Every time this guy opens his mouth, one of two things comes out of it: Either pitch-perfect acting, or sound and logical observations expressed with eloquence and wit.

I'm even willing to forgive him for all those crappy movies he's done with Ashley Judd.
