Here's example of this demonstrated by the interviewer.
As an aside, its always kind of bothered me that the end of that quote is left off:

Quote:As usual, such quotes are presented out of context. Freeman’s most crucial closing argument was omitted. He had gone on to explain that the point was to put an end to race-consciousness, to stop habitually attaching color labels to people. Without this closing point, his message becomes a twisted, oversimplified alternative sound bite, perfectly suited to the masses and to mindless reposting sans scrutiny: stop talking about racism and it will go away of its own accord.
Quote:Freeman: I’m going to stop calling you a white man. And, I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace and you know me as Morgan Freeman. You don’t say, "Well, ahem! This white guy named Mike Wallace." You don’t say it.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
