I skimmed through the first one, but the Morgan Freeman one was awesome.
He really is a smart man...
I love the aspect where he says... "I'm going to stop calling you a white man, when you stop calling me a black man."
I agree with this so much. My daughter (she's 8) has been raised this way. She has never been taught "black," "white," etc. She tends to gravitate more towards black kids for friends, no idea why... but she does. But she doesn't know them as black people. I never taught her that term, and my wife and I had a discussion early-on to never use the term black or white with respect to race. When my daughter is trying to talk about her friends, she'll use the description... "she has darker skin." Or she'll say... "lighter skin than grandma" (who's Hispanic). Or just "lighter skin." Race isn't a thing for her.
I know eventually this will change as she's propagandized by liberal teachers and other kids in her school, but I hope at least that by the time she's older, she will have formed these views in absence of racial discussions.
