This is Morgan Freeman on Black History Month and the "African-American" label:
"Two things I can say publicly that I do not like: Black History Month is an insult. You're going to relegate my history to a month?"
"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. What does it really mean? Most Black people in this part of the world are mongrels. And you say Africa as if it's a country when it's a continent, like Europe."

... Kris has gotten hold of Morgan Freeman's mind!
So he'd consider himself a "mongrel", not an African because Africa is a continent.
