Samuel L. Jackson urges celebs to sing against ‘racist police’

By Reed Tucker

Samuel L. Jackson is dumping a bucket of cold water on his fellow celebrities’ heads. In a lo-fi video posted on the actor’s Facebook page, Jackson challenges all the people who participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge to take up another cause. “I challenge all of you to sing the ‘We Ain’t Gonna Stop Till People Are Free’ song,” he says, staring into the camera. Jackson then launches into an a capella tune. “I can hear my neighbor crying, ‘I can’t breathe.’ Now I’m in the struggle and I can’t leave,” he croons. “Calling out the violence of the racist police. We ain’t gonna stop till people are free.” The short video ends with him pointing a finger at the camera and saying, “C’mon, sing it out.”

I have a black cat and a white cat.
As a ‘joke’ I tell people my white cat is named Blacky and my Black cat is named Whitey.
Reason I do it is CATS DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE so it matters not what they are called.

In view of ‘civilians stealing’ our military terms, such as frequent use of 24/7 in regards to anything and using Head for toilet etc.
The ‘movement’ took a very good word ‘Gay’ and took it from a happy, carefree time to mean celebrating acts which the majority of people deem not very happy or carefree.

‘We’ also stood by and allowed the Libs to change US from Blue State to Red State, yes it really means nothing, other than the old ‘give an inch, take a mile.

Next thing will be ‘Swears like a Drunken College Girl’ to overtake the ‘Swears like a Drunken Sailor’. - Which, considering the language or our younger females...etc...

Now, if we called everyone GREEN, we could get away from the whole Black/White controversy.

Of course the charges would be “Light Green Privilege” and “Dark Green people are more wont to commit crime” etc etc.

If we go to calling Blacks White and Whites Black, at least people would have to stop and think about what they are trying to say...

I get around it with my cats by saying
“Blacky - the white cat, chases Whitey — the Black Cat, like he was Black.”

I can't look at Jackson and not see Ordell Robbie.

The role he was made for.

He’s right about one thing. There’s plenty of racism in America.

It is an Equal-Opportunity movie. True diversity. LOL! As Gunnery Sergeant Hartman said, “To me, you are all equally worthless!”

I liked Jackson better when he was eaten by a raptor in “Jurassic Park.”

I cannot divulge my source, but Sam was a coke addict in Chattanooga back in the early seventies.

His brain is addled.

It sucks that a black man like Jackson has been held back by a racist, white America.

Another paid entertainer, who his makes money reading and reciting words written by folks smarter than he, opens his political yap, and we’re supposed to fawn all over him?

No. For I do not pay for him to opine. I pay, not no more, for him to recite.
