Legendary actor Morgan Freeman is not a fan of Black History Month.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with Variety<\/em>, the Oscar-winning actor said that his history is tied to the story of America rather than the idea of being black.<\/p>\n

\u201cI detest it. The mere idea of it. You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate \u2018my\u2019 history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It\u2019s not right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy history\u00a0is<\/em> American history,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s the one thing in this world I am interested in, beyond making money, having a good time and getting enough sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freeman made the comments ahead of the release of the series The Gray House<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>on which Freeman worked as an executive producer alongside fellow star Kevin Costner.<\/p>\n

The show explores the secret work carried out by three female Union spies during the American Civil War.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time that Freeman has spoken out<\/a> against the racialization of American life.<\/p>\n\n

Back in 2005, he made national headlines when he argued that the only when to get rid of racism is to \u201cstop talking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to stop calling you a White man, and I\u2019m going to ask you to stop calling me a Black man,\u201d Freeman said at the time.<\/p>\n
