I don't think this argument is about Morgan Freemen, he's a really successful black actor. There are thousands of no-so-successful black actors who, if they want decent parts, should maybe start writing screenplays. A bit like women did.

Black screenwriters. It's what it all comes down to.

He was by me back in the 90's but yes I know obviously Morgan Freeman has had more longevity with his career but back when that film came out Christian Slater was one of the most popular hot young actors, he was most definitely the draw for that film
