Morgan Freeman is once again voicing his disdain for Black History Month … blasting the tribute as a deeply flawed concept.

The Oscar winner — who has spoken out against Black History Month a number of times over the years — railed against the annual observance in a new interview with Variety … saying he absolutely detests it, while noting he simply doesn’t relate.

MF says … “You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right.”

He defended “American History” as being his history — with the actor stressing the importance of learning from the past … and not leaning into what differentiates us as countrymen.

He adds … [American history is] the one thing in this world I am interested in, beyond making money, having a good time and getting enough sleep.”

The topic is certainly on Morgan’s mind, as he’s executive producing a new period drama about women who served as Union spies during the Civil War. The project, which is also produced by Kevin Costner, is set to star Mary-Louise Parker, Amethyst Davis, Daisy Head and Ben Vereen.

Morgan expressed similar sentiments last year … where he called Black History Month an “insult” during an interview with The Sunday Times.

He continued … “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.'”

Morgan first made waves with his stance in a 2005 interview with “60 Minutes,” where he slammed dedicating a month to Black history as a “ridiculous” idea — and when he famously said the way to get rid of racism was to “stop talking about it.

Others have taken a similar position … namely, that Black history is American history, period.
