Samuel L. Jackson: “I voted for Barack Obama because he was black.” “Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them.” Yeah, right. So voting for Obama “because he is black” is not raaaaacism but voting against him because you disagree with his policies is? Nuance!

He is just trying to lure some of us on the Right to say ''Yea we told you so'' but we already knew there were several million that did the same thing, thats not news to us....But He is NOT BLACK for crying out loud he is Semi-black or bi-racial already !! He grew up so far removed from the black experience here in the main land it's not even funny. Hell he probably never had corn bread and Collard greens till he was in his 20's...Get off the skin color issue Hollywood...Hell they could have run Kobe Bryant out and he would have gotten several million votes so what...Tell us something we dont know Samuel !!
I'm tired of this arrogant, cigarette smoking, skinny little RED guy in the White House, so I'm voting for his opponent this November.
There are so many brilliant, unifying, black citizens who love this country, and people like Jackson should be outraged that Obama is the best his race could offer for the presidency. Sadly, Obama will lead the list of this country’s horrible presidents, and it’s his ideology, not the color of his skin, that makes it so. The only thing worse than NOT voting for someone because of their race, IS voting for someone because of their race.
You're absolutely correct. A few of my favorite conservative writers, whose consistency is 100%, are Black fellows. This compares favorably to some of the other guys who occasionally seem to put out some misguided ideas. Sowell and Williams are my top two reads, every time. They're eloquence exhibits genius. And there are dozens more patriotic Americans that top my various categories. As of right now I'm reflecting on the sad fact that Alan West isn't running for the white house right now, while a year ago it seemed his time in elected office was insufficient, at this point I think he'd already be our nominee.
I'm with you on Mr. West, FDH. I've been watching some of his speaches and comments of late, and Sam Jackson and his ilk could learn a lot from this man. Unfortunately you can't teach Liberals a damn thing. They won't listen to reason and they know everything already.
Yeah, everyone here has seen that fact in action. (cough olivia)
did sammy jack forget about his white mama? you betcha...so what's ZERO's skin color. he's not black, he's not white we should all take a cue from the liberal,pc press and say he is mulatto,right? the first mulatto president,but that doesn't ring the right bell. mulatto is a new drink at starbucks by the way.
I read this piece of crap and I have to say that SLJ is a friggin' idiot. He wants Obama to be the stereotypical scary and angry Black man. How disgusting.
When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a n*gga. Because what's a n*gga? A n*gga is scary. Obama ain't scary at all...I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting reelected."
Samuel Jackson is a college graduate, an actor and a wealthy resident of Claifornia. Does he really believe the tripe he's spewing or is it for the benefit of ignorant and uniformed fans? Maybe he's trying to build up his street creds for his next movie.
If a white person said Obama or Samuel L. Jackson (or any other black man)
were "scary" they'd be accused of racism by stereotype. So Jackson is essentially playing "rope a dope", you say something outrageous and then lean back and enjoy the outtraged responses. Meanhwile you pander to your base. Works every time.
BTW. Who are the "they" who wouldn't vote for a "n*gga"? That's right you and I.
He reminds me a lot of certain older people that try to relate to their kids by using their 'lingo' -- only in this case, a very wealthy man trying to pretend to be poor.
Who the hell is Samuel L. Jackson?
Nobody important who made terrible movies in the last ten or so years.
You didn't like "Snakes on a plane?" ;)
Hell to the nah...
Did you?
Uhmmm, no. He's pretty well made garbage ever since Pulp Fiction IMO.
No, garbage is better quality than the dudu he put out there. In fact dudu has more usage and importance than the movies he has come up with in the past 10 or so years.
That's true. The Japanese are making meat loaf out of it these days.
Ahhh a little dose of double standard. The reporter should have punched him in the snout when he said n****a the second time. Hey, I just got a great idea for a billboard! "It's hard to ERASE racism and stereotypes when every other word out of your mouth is n***a." Put a nice close up shot Sammy L. with his Kangol hat on backerds.
And just who is that ignorant asshole calling racists? Frigging hypocrite should look in the mirror next time before he opens his mouth.
SamMULE hopes Obama gets scary in the next 4 years? When you realize this president intends to put everyone on the PLANTATION, you might want to reconsider. SamMULE needs to go live in Venzuela for a couple years and maybe then he will see what Obama intends to do with our country. I would vote for a leprechaun if he was for our freedom amd civils rights. Race has nothing to do with how I vote. I didn't vote for Obama because he was transparent enough (momentarily) to let me see he was an enemy of our country. But, eveyone seem to think having a Kenyan American as POTUS was "COOL." The American black man and everyone else got sold down the river.
