Jackson campaigned during the 2008 Democratic Primary for Barack Obama in Texarkana, Texas. He said: "Barack Obama represents everything I was told I could be growing up. I am a child of segregation. When I grew up and people told me I could be president, I knew it was a lie. But now we have a representative... the American Dream is a reality. Anyone can grow up to be a president." Jackson also said: "I voted for Barack because he was black.
That's why other folks vote for other people -because they look like them".
He compared his Django Unchained character, a villainous house slave, to black conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, saying that "I have the same moral compass as Clarence Thomas does". Source: Wikipedia
So he can understand the way I vote cuz I'm white?
The American dream has happened more times than we know.
But Obama is not one of them.
The "Movin' on up" Kenyan is the country's long nightmare.
Yikes!
There was a time about 16 years ago or so that Jackson was the hardest working guy in the movie business. He had an abundance of films coming out and made in one year $35 Million.
I admire Jackson in that he overcame some things and became a a very successful actor. His drawback is that he has succeeded in a Capitalist System but doesn’t have enough sense to walk away from the Democrat BS he still seems to believe.
