Marvel Studios star Samuel L. Jackson blasted black U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas by using a racially-charged slur to criticize him over the court’s abortion ruling Friday.
After the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs ruling that overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, Jackson quipped on social media, “How’s Uncle Clarence feeling about Overturning Loving v Virginia?”
Of course, Loving v. Virginia is the famed Supreme Court decision from 1967 that declared prohibitions on interracial marriage were unconstitutional. The ruling came five years before the Roe decision and was solidly based on the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, finding that it is unconstitutional to prevent interracial marriage because marriage was “generally accepted conduct” outside the restrictions based solely on race, so the race restriction was arbitrary and meant solely to promulgate “invidious racial discrimination.”
Loving has no connection to Roe, does not rely on Roe’s reasoning (by virtue of coming down 6 years prior), and is not facing any public campaign for reversal. Indeed, Thomas himself never mentioned Loving for the chief reason that the 1967 ruling was decided on a completely different clause of the Constitution than whatt Thomas was focusing on in the cases he felt should be overturned.

Never heard of him.
Hey, Sam. Put up or shut up. Since you’re such a big scary expert on how our country should be run, prove it by running for office yourself, unless you’re too much of a whiny crybaby to do that.
He’s always been a punk. Hocking stuff on TV. No thanks
Samuel is quite the bigoted racist, isn’t he?
How is that even possible?

Black dude in Capital One commercials...nothing?...
May the gay mice be with him....
That’s all he’s good for. Sam Jackson got rich playing the white person’s idea of the black thug. When that money got low, Sam began making political TV commercials, (starting in 2012 for Obama’s 2nd term) smearing anybody and anything conservative. His ‘articulation’ always heavily ladled with vulgar terms.
Samuel Jackson has done some classic movies. He’s a great actor. Who just happened to veer out of his lane.
What’s in your wallet , Condom ?
That’s it, Samuel, no one needs to know or say anything else about you.
I suppose this is a jab at the marriage of Justice Thomas.
Seyz’s Uncle “Mule”
How's Jackson feeling about saying really stupid things?
Shut up Sammy and go home to your mammy!
black women may actually be in favor of that
He only acts like a normal person in the movies
He sucked in all the Matrix Movies anyway…..
Snickering ;0)!
He’s an actor, even if he were an amazing actor, he’s still just an actor. I guess it’s a step up from a circus clown, and maybe not as demeaning as being a whore, but it’s a lot closer to either of those two professions then being Supreme Court justice. Be humble Sam.
