"I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man"

The quote recommends that Morgan Freeman wishes to eliminate labels based upon race and intends to be seen and attended to merely as a man, rather than as a black male. He also asks the other person to do the very same by not describing him as black and not using racial labels. The statement suggests that race should not specify or limit people and that people need to be judged based on their character and actions, rather than their skin color.
