    Morgan Freeman is a piece of shit ladder-puller who thinks because he found success that every black person should be able to be pile up $200 million like he did

    At this point, Lemon asked a follow-up question: Do you think race has anything to do with inequality? “Today?” Freeman answered. “No. … You and I, we’re proof.”

    “Why would race have anything to do with it?” he added. “Put your mind to what you want to do and go for that. It’s kind of like religion to me — it’s a good excuse for not getting there.”

    I mean I guess it makes sense that the most liked people in the country are all people whose relevance and career directly hinges on them being widely liked.
