In the post titled, "Twitter Haters, When Do I Get My Apology for Agreeing with Morgan Freeman about #BlackHistoryMonth?" Dash claims Freeman's original thoughts were the foundation of her argument.
"When I spoke out on Fox News and on my blog about the need to get rid of BET and Black History Month, all the same usual Twitter haters came out of the woodwork to troll me and say all sorts of disgusting things about me," Dash, 49, wrote on Monday.
"If you’re going to call me ignorant, stupid, and an Uncle Tom, you need to be intellectually honest and also call out Morgan Freeman."
"What’s that you say?" she continued. "You didn’t realize that Morgan Freeman agrees with me that having a Black History Month is actually racist and a part of the problem in healing race relations in America.'
Dash included a clip of Freeman's comments about Black History Month on 60 Minutes in June 2006. In it, the actor calls the February celebration "ridiculous" and says, "You're gonna relegate my history to a month?"
"Damn straight, Morgan Freeman! PREACH IT!" Dash wrote on Monday. "It’s time we decide as a society whether we want to care about race or not. Like Morgan Freeman says, there is no White History Month and there should be no Black History Month. Black history IS American history.… You want racial healing and reconciliation?
You want true equality? Listen to Morgan Freeman – Stop. Talking. About. Race."
