In a rare interview, Morgan Freeman has called Black History Month an ‘insult’. He thinks is has negative connotations because it ‘relegates’ his heritage to a single set of four weeks.

The 85-year-old actor explained that as far as he’s concerned, the annual event has negative connotations because it ‘relegates’ his heritage to a single set of four weeks.

Morgan also expressed his dislike of the term ‘African American’ and insisted he ‘doesn’t subscribe’ to the ethnic group. ‘Two things I can say publicly that I do not like: Black History Month is an insult,’ the Hollywood star began, adding: ‘You’re going to relegate my history to a month?’in what the outlet claims is Morgan’s first interview in ‘decades’, he went on: ‘Also “African American” is an insult. I don’t subscribe to that title.

‘Black people have had different titles all the way back to the n-word and I do not know how these things get such a grip, but everyone uses “African American”.’
