“When I see Trump, I see the same rednecks I saw when I was growing up who called me ‘n*****’ and tried to keep me in my place. That’s what the Republican Party is to me. They’re doing it to young people, gay people. They don’t care who you are. If you’re not them, you’re the enemy,” Jackson told Rolling Stone.
Jackson’s comments on Trump came after he reflected upon being an usher at Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral following the Civil Rights leader’s assassination.
“The world seems to be in as hard a place as it’s always been. As a child of the Sixties, watching what happened at the 1968 Democratic Convention, and seeing the police beating those demonstrators — and those were young white kids — I learned there’s a certain kind of thing that the powers that be don’t want us doing,” Jackson said.
“One of them is protesting what they think they want us to do,” he continued. “So, when George Floyd happened, it was great to see all the different faces of kids out there fighting the injustice and what the power was doing once again to keep you from having an open mind or keep you from creating change that is not the change they want made.”

In Samuel Jackson's eyes, all white people look alike.
Bill Gates, John Kerry, Barack Obama etc.
Apparently, Jackson wants more of the racist environment which he denounces, because...
He is a member of the racist party, namely the democrats, who wanted slavery to continue forever, and who created the KKK and Jim Crow. And that’s the same party that wants to keep blacks as permanent victims, because, they’re not smart enough to run their own lives
Jackson may be black, but, a dumb black at that. Democrats want to keep him as a useful tool.
Stop catcalling Donald, Sam! He doesn’t want to date you!
I’ve never heard Trump say anything racist. He may have, but I haven’t heard about it.
Biden, yes. Obama, yes. But not Trump.
to be honest, he sees all non-subservient whites this way
How many times has Samuel said the “N” word I wonder?
“In Samuel Jackson’s eyes, all white people look alike.”
He has pet names for whites too. It all used to be somewhat good natured banter in the South.
I guess that being a great actor doesn’t require knowledge of history, or critical thinking either.
I never thought he was such a racist dumba$$.
Ok...
Let’s put our cards on the table..
Do you talk like a ni&#er?
Do you act like a ni$@er?
Do you think like a ni*&er?
If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then sit down and shut the hell up.
Would he say that to Trump directly in person? Naaah.
“As a child of the Sixties, watching what happened at the 1968 Democratic Convention, and seeing the police beating those demonstrators...”
As an observer at the time, I maintain they weren’t beaten enough.
If so, it's by far his best work so far. 🙂
You still are, Sambo.
So, a bunch of “rednecks” called you neighbor?
At least they didn’t call you nooser...
What a shame...
Sounds like he got it from Brie Larson
Hey Sammy... "Logic Motherf*cker... Do you speak it..."
“That’s what the Republican Party is to me. “
Perhaps he should step out of his room temp IQ and start to deal with facts I guess he isn’t intelligent enough to understand.
The democratic party that has always been aligned with the deep south is famous for keeping blacks down. By 1830 slavery was primarily located in the South, where it existed in many different forms. African Americans were enslaved on small farms, large plantations, in cities and towns, inside homes, out in the fields, and in industry and transportation.
Though slavery had such a wide variety of faces, the underlying concepts were always the same. Slaves were considered property, and they were property because they were black. Their status as property was enforced by violence — actual or threatened. People, black and white, lived together within these parameters...
African American women had to endure the threat and the practice of sexual exploitation. There were no safeguards to protect them from being sexually stalked, harassed, or raped, or to be used as long-term concubines by masters and overseers. The abuse was widespread, as the men with authority took advantage of their situation. Even if a woman seemed agreeable to the situation, in reality she had no choice. Slave men, for their part, were often powerless to protect the women they loved.
By law, slaves were the personal property of their owners in all Southern states except Louisiana. The slave master held absolute authority over his human property as the Louisiana law made clear: “The master may sell him, dispose of his person, his industry, and his labor; [the slave] can do nothing, possess nothing, nor acquire anything but what must belong to his master.”
Slaves had no constitutional rights; they could not testify in court against a white person; they could not leave the plantation without permission. Slaves often found themselves rented out, used as prizes in lotteries, or as wagers in card games and horse races.

The Southern Democratic party advocated for the expansion of slavery into the territories and strong enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The party’s platform further affirmed the right of the federal government to protect the rights of slaveholders in the states and territories.
At the end of the American Civil War, Confederate veterans formed the Ku Klux Klan to resist Reconstruction. The group incited riots and assaulted and murdered blacks and Republicans (the party of Lincoln, and of emancipation) to intimidate voters and influence elections.
The Redeemers were a political coalition in the Southern United States during the Reconstruction Era that followed the Civil War. Redeemers were the Southern wing of the Democratic Party. They sought to regain their political power and enforce White supremacy. Their policy of Redemption was intended to oust the Radical Republicans, a coalition of freedmen, “carpetbaggers”, and “scalawags”. They generally were led by the White yeomanry and they dominated Southern politics in most areas from the 1870s to 1910.
So with the statement he made, he not only is showing his racism, but is displaying his lack of historical knowledge of fact.

I don't know what Samuel Jackson's actual experience was, but suffice it to say he did not grow up in a hard core white supremacist area.
