Very sad that Samuel L. Jackson, a very good actor, is a really nasty public person (I don’t care what he says or thinks in private).
Dr. Carson has saved more lives and repaired more lives than Jackson will ever do, namely because he was a DOCTOR, not an ACTOR.
This outburst only goes to reinforce the image of the Hollywood Left/Entertainment Industry as hate-filled, mindless lunatics and paranoid political extremists.
Re Star Jones. You know what a star whose fuel/fire has gone out is called, “A dark star” or “dead star”, much like her soul.
Sometimes members of a certain group can get away with such words (like the infamous N-word). The film Hollywood Shuffle by black director Robert Townsend had a spoof ad of a black actor’s school: “Call 1-800-555-COON” (and the “coon” word was written in a derogatory way)
Years ago there were “coon songs” written, with stereotypical images of blacks. Some of these songs were even written by blacks, and as Wikipedia says, “Coon songs became tremendously popular in Britain after the 1880s. The role of racial stereotyping in Britain was different from what it was in America, in that the theatre audiences listening to the song often did not see Black people on a day-to-day basis in their lives.” (For that matter, minstrel shows in the UK, like the George Mitchell Minstrels, appeared on TV as late as the 70s and 80s with actors in blackface, and it was accepted.)
About 15 years ago the New England blues band Bellevue Cadillac put out an album called Black and White with a cover, as a joke, that showed a black member in whiteface and a white member in blackface.
