Samuel L. Jackson: Trump Like ‘Same Rednecks’ I Saw Growing Up ‘Who Called Me N****r’

Actor Samuel L. Jackson likened former President Donald Trump to the “same rednecks” that hurled racist slurs at him during his youth. Even though he grew up under segregation, which means that he would have likely been governed by Jim Crow-era Democrats, Jackson said that Donald Trump and the Republican Party represent what he grew up under.

“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.”

I really enjoyed his character in Pulp Fiction - but since then, he’s turned out to be nothing but a boring a-hole. As soon as I realize he’s in a movie - click.

JackieBoy reminds me of the druggie loser Saint George Floyd.

SLJ probably isn’t making anymore movies so he has got to get attention somehow.

Record breaking low Black unemployment means nothing to this quisling to his people.

I basically like SLJ, as an actor, but he reminds me of another actor who I don't like so maybe I shouldn't like SLJ either.
Makes as much sense.

No, Sam , I don’t dislike you because of your race, I dislike you because you are a Commie tool.

[jonrick46]

Trump as a real redneck . . .

[cowboyusa]

Those marxist brats deserved it. It was a great day.

[cowboyusa]

Yep

[ronnie raygun]

L for loser

If the shoe fits.

[lurk]

Great actor.

Misperceptimized.

[Cuttnhorse]

Jackson is just another second rate actor trying to be relevant.
When all else fails, yammer about racism.
Total race huckster and should be ignored.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

So says the huge fart generating vegan A-hole!

[minnesota_bound]

Samuel L. Jackson is net worth $250 million.
He is a racist.

[Hipshot 6]

Guess what I see when I look at Sam? Uneducated, ignorant, and very beholden to dems. You would think that he would wise up and see he is not stuck where he started. Unlike his brothers in LA, Baltimore, Chicago, Atlanta, NY, etc. What a boob.

[DoughtyOne]

Here is what he based his anti-Trump comment on.

The people running Deep State are likely the worst bigots and misogynists on the planet.

Your beef is with them, isn’t it...

You just don’t have the guts to admit it and say so.
