Although, that vid of hog hunting from a helicopter with an AR, is most likely too much for ol' Morgan...

I always liked him as a kid on the Electric Company TV show, ;D

I was wondering the same thing.

"Freeman has publicly criticized the celebration of Black History Month and does not participate in any related events, saying, "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."[13] He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and he notes that there is no "white history month".[14] Freeman once said on an interview with 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace: "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
