Shaking Morgan Freeman's hand while telling him, "Thank you," is on my bucket list. This man has my UTMOST respect. As it should be.
Hes a serial adulterer who nearly killed his mistress while being under the influence. And he has had numerous women come first who accused him of being inappropriate with crew on set. I love his work but hes a deeply flawed person whose done many questionable things and lied about them to fans.
@@eldenringer6466 You mad, bro? Did you know that your first assertion is rendered mute by the person you claim was his "mistress"? Demaris Meyer made the following statement in 2009... _"I want to clear my name from the rumors and false accusations that have been made about me and my relationship with Mr. Morgan Freeman in the press. I was not and have never been his mistress, nor was I the cause of his marital breakup."_ and she insists she was never romantically linked to Freeman.
Makes sense. Freeman and his wife had been separated since 2007, and were in the process of getting a divorce the night of the accident. Meyer, also said she met Freeman the night of the accident at a dinner party at the Bayou Bend Golf and Country Club that she had been invited to. Meyer said Freeman had been a _"perfect gentleman"_ that evening and agreed to let her stay at one of three houses on his property so that she would have an easier drive to work the next morning.
I've been white all my life, but I want Black history to be known by everyone for all time. I'm 75 and I know how important it is to have the WHOLE story of our country. Thank you Joy and Mr. Freeman.
What's black history month?
God bless you.
I agree! I'm 76 years old and I want everyone to know the truth of all our people.
@@mytwocents848l am 79. I am white. We cannot have American History taught truthfully until we all learn black history. I took black history classes because it wasn't offered when l graduated from college in 1965. It was impressive for me to learn about the struggles, terrors, and things l never knew. I remember seeing Dateline (l think) and seeing the fire hoses turned on people and gasping in horror. Every student needs to learn and empathize with the courage of the struggles that still persist in many areas of this country.
I’m white and identity as black and don’t care. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a 6 year Veteran and Tank Crewman, I applaud these brave Tankers! Much respect to Mr. Freeman...
My grandad was in the tanks in WW2, so always nice to see more history about them.
My grandad drove one of the boat that landed on the beach on D-Day. Whenever a war movie came on, he usually changed the channel. He used to say, "I lived it. I don't need to see it, again." He's one of the greatest reasons why I served.

Thank you for your service!
@@josephsonora3787 Thanks but this is about our granddads. Guys you can look up to.
Thank you for this wonderful story. Another bit of American History not being taught in our schools. Morgan Freeman is the perfect messenger. We need more of these stories of heroism.
Quite a compliment you received Joy. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite human beings. ❤
As one of my favorite actors, I'm glad to see that he is still alive and active. I always enjoy your humorous commentaries as well...
Awesome interview thank you Mr Freeman and Joy. I so appreciate that their story is being told. My Dad was a WWII survivor, fought in the Eat Africa Campaign/ El Alamein and fought alongside soldiers of colour who volunteered to join the British. I wish their stories were being told as well. 🙏🙏
Joy you are absolutely right to say “you are lucky “ to be with Mr. Freeman, I am not impressed by any celebrity except couple, one of whom I enjoy is Mr. Freeman, his worldly knowledge, wisdom and his passion ✨🎭
History is pure gold 🪙 especially black history ♥️♥️
I am so proud of 761st Tank Battalion and Morgan Freeman! 👏🏽 These soldiers liberated the small French Basque village called Pau I lived in for university study abroad. The Frenchman who took me in was 8 years old at the time these bold warriors burst on the scene and he never forgot this first encounter with Black Americans. Forty years later, The entire village knew I was coming and couldn’t wait to meet one who shared heritage with heroes! These men paid it forward for me and I honor them! Huzzah! ⚔️✊🏽
I could see the delight on Joy's face getting to interview such an incredible human being. Gob bless them both.
Great Show! Thank you very much, Joy, for the knowledge that you share. I adore Mr Freeman. If i am not mistaken about this Mr. Freeman and i are brother Airmen. 🇺🇸 Thank you for your service!
I also adore you as well, Joy. 😊
I am for certain going to watch this documentary... Like you Mr. Freeman, i never knew about these "Tankers" either... until tonight. Can't wait to view it. Please, continue to bring forth hidden history and fight the fight to keep it available for all generations that are alive today and especially for those that will follow. Thank you.
Morgan wants black history month to stop.
Morgan Freeman has the perfect approach to defeating racism: stop talking about it. Obsessing about race makes racism worse. Freeman is one of the few people to speak on the subject recently that makes any sense.
If we stop talking about poverty, it will go away? If we stop talking about child abuse it will go away? If we stop talking about corruption on the Supreme Court it will go away? 🤔
@@EyeofRa41081ThankU
@@EyeofRa41081: You think all those problems require the same solution?
Looking great Mr Freeman
Yes, you are the luckiest to have Morgan Freeman and we are the luckiest, having the histories...
OMG Mr. Freeman uttering those sweet words to you!!! And on film!! 😃 or whatever they call it now… I love and respect you both! ❤
Everyone deserves to have their stories told. Thank you!
Mr Freeman is outside the scope of ANY strike. He is MR FREEMAN.
Lieutenant Jackie Robinson was assigned to the 761st Tankers at Fort Hood , Tx. early in 1944. No one has mentioned Jackie's famous participation lately. Moreover, my Power Memorial Academy schoolmate, Kareem Abdul Jabbar co-authored a book about the 761st during the early 1980s. The 761st Tankers were later known as ''Patton's Black Tankers'' and had a very active participation in the historical ''Battle of the Bulge'' (1944-45). The 1991 HBO movie THE COURT MARTIAL OF JACKIE ROBINSON is a fine historical document describing some of Jackie's participation in his struggle for equality and justice while serving with the 761st Tankers during WW2.
Mr. freeman, you stand tall among all men and women , black or white, and all colours in between. The truth will surface and live on in American history for all the world to know, no matter how some try to hide it. Thank you , sir and I will most definitely watch this documentary.
I adore Mr. Freeman's voice. I don't care if he did a documentary on paint peeling, I would watch it just to listen to his voice.
His voice hasn't changed since I first saw him on the TV series The Electric Company in 1971. It's just a bit slower, but at 86, it's still the same.
Well God keep the Truth Coming😊
no trump family member has ever served our country
No Trump family member has ever deserved out country.
And joe has?
@@mooseantler: Only his entire career.
@@mooseantler and joe never trashed McCains service ... you ok with that
bone spurs are life threatening - HA
Black people have been in all our wars, in and out of combat roles. Our stories have been ignored. Now we know about WWII's Tuskegee Airmen, this tank unit, the women's mail battalion. We need to keep finding these stories.
The movie GLORY was also a true story about how black men served in the civil war. A good movie that Freeman also starred in with Denzel Washington.
These men fought for this country yet weren't allowed to drink from a white water fountain!! Way to go ' Christians '. God bless the 761 First tank battalion!!!!!
I have seen every movie that Morgan Freeman has acted in. I am looking forward to this documentary. I love his works. Thank you Joy for bringing this to my attention. I respect you both.
Love stuff like this. Morgan's voice added to this will make it that a little more fun!
Did I just see Joy blush?
thanks for this, important
Unbelievable… how hard black Americans have to fight to have peace/ standing .., be acknowledged
You talking history with history. I used to watch the Electric Company but I couldn't tell you if I got reruns with Morgan Freeman in them. So my first Morgan Freeman movie that I remember is Glory. My favorite would be Azeem in Robin Hood, and then Hoke from Driving Miss Daisy. The last Morgan Freeman movie I saw was the Bucket List. Like, when there is a Morgan Freeman biopic, AI is gonna have to do it because there is no one like him anywhere, ever. The Borg would assimilate him and have to take a break before they got anybody else. They'd automatically use his voice and nobody would resist.
On the issues of racism...
Morgan Freeman: Stop talking about it.
The man is very very smart!!
Amazing 😻
I hope when we clean House in 2024 we set these states straight. There are stories that too many don't know! 🪣🧹 Vote Blue 💙
It just doesn't seem fair to have 'made' these veterans fight fascism across the seas only to have to *continue* to fight racism/fascism in their own country.
Thank goodness this story (and ones like it) are starting to be told and more well known!!
Congratulations, Mr. Morgan Freeman. All the American millionaires who share the same passions should retell the deliberately forgotten black hostories and achievements by making them into documentaries or movies. Way to go.
'Asked & commanded by god himself' love it.
I have a bug right now,fever and all the rest.If you go please give my regards and condolences.😊Thanks.
Also, we cannot forget about the Wherwerth 11, who were massacred by the germans during the Battle of the Bulge.
Great show!
♥️Black history builds character ♥️ God created "All" the Races ♥️ And saw that it was good ♥️ It's man that is bad 🥀
I ❤❤❤ it! 😊

Hola este documental puede ser en español gracias ❤
Morgan Freeman wants you to stop talking about racism.
Morgan Freeman wants to stop racism, so that maybe we can stop talking about racism...
He definitely doesn't want to talk about his granddaughter
@@dremac33You’re so unaware. 🤦🏼
@@Toekneepowers you are so dense. So answer this for me. Stop talking about racism ends racism??? 🤔
@@dremac33 👈🏻😂 It’s as if you just got here. The person you should be asking is Morgan himself. Unbelievable!🤦🏼
Biden bringing back Covid mandates in sept according to whistleblower
Election time that soon? Better justify that vote by mail stuff.
More rumors from FOX KNEWz FOX LIES? They love 'whistleblowers' who don't exist, or who are on the run. 'Mandates' is the wrong word anyway. REAL mandates require a person violating them to receive a fine or even jail time. THAT never happened even the first time around.
Listening to 'god' makes it better
Hope it's available online soon
Movie 🎥 please 🙏 in honor of these men !! Like private Ryan movie!!! It will be award winning 🥇 Morgan make it happen!!!!!! Sir 🫡
As a Marine Corps veteran I'm saddened by the recruiting numbers in our current day Armed Forces. I've talked to a few officers who are disgusted by the current Woke agenda being forced up on today's troops!
What does any of that have to do with the 761st Tank Battalion? Why bring up "woke" when talking about American history?
@@hallnall1667 The fact that he came on with a comment saying "woke" tells the kind mind set he has.
@@hallnall1667 You're Clueless. Smh
@somoody9322 who are you pretending to be? Dr. Sigmund Freud? 🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You must learn or be able learn from whole of history, from both sides.
🎉🎉 Yayyyy ♥️♥️♥️🌹❣️
Black history month is over
why are you so afraid of history?
ignorance=loser
History continues.
God Bless those 300 Republican souls lost at Black wall street! 🙏
We need everyone’s history! Just like how Hitler and tDump are comparative!
But most of all , those who want to modify history need to be barred from doing so! We can’t change how ignorant our ancestors were! We need to learn from their mistakes and try to make it better for everyone!

It's crazy how people still use what he said years about Black History Month and haven't kept up to date with what he has been saying since the death of George Floyd. Definitely convenient.
According to DeSantis history must be cancelled or ignorant Floridians might get educated about the truth and begin thinking as individuals.
I loved Morgan all my life until he was exposed as an adulterer, a liar, and ok with being handsy with makeup girls. He wasnt a good man but a dirty old man. He was cancelled to me. But I still love all his past work and am grateful for it. But theres a reason his career nose dived post metoo. Very sad but people arent perfect.

I'll tell you what else is under attack in America, Joyless Annie Reed: any sense AT ALL of tasteful fashion! With your ridiculous Goodwill bargain rack selections, you prove that on a nightly basis !!!
Black history is under attack? By who?
they all got grease on their face.
