“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.”

How does that broad brush stereotyping make you feel?

Sammy- that is a flat out lie- the majority of the ones doing that were DEMOCRATS! And you know it, liar!
**More proof that rich and famous does not make one smart.**
To my knowledge, no celebrity has made so much as a dime off of my wife and I, in almost 40 years.
Poor Samuel L. Jackson, grew up thinking all white people in the South are Republicans.
On the contrary, they were Democrats in Chattanooga, TN. Where he and I grew up, just a few years apart. We had elements of the KKK in Chattanooga, especially on Signal Mtn and Lookout, Mtn. All Democrats and protestants.
This friggin’ moron, is just too stupid to learn about the truth.
If I said Samuel L. Jackson is just like the black guys who robbed, raped, and murdered a young white girl recently would that be considered racist? Or, is attributing harms or crimes by one person to everyone of that same race now considered quite acceptable?
“Jackson said that Donald Trump and the Republican Party represent what he grew up under.”
No excuse for ignorance at his stage and position in life.
🖕 sammy!
“Samuel L. Jackson: Trump Like ‘Same Rednecks’ I Saw Growing Up ‘Who Called Me N****r’”
BS. First of all Trump is a rich billionaire not a redneck. Second I doubt Samuel ever actually heard someone call him the N word. But not ruling it out.
I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. The N word was something you occasionally heard but not in front of blacks.
The fact is Sam Jackson is still good friends with Quentin Tarantino, who does, in fact, call black people “n***ers” frequently.
Sammy lost me when he said “when George Floyd happened”.
I guess all it takes to trigger ol’ Sammy is just another thug overdosing.
Spot on
this is the same party that says words do not have meaning or can mean anything you want them to so, what is his problem?
Well, Trump was a Democrat at one point in his life. So there’s that.
I used to be a fan of Sam Jackson but he’s turned into a leftard. Or maybe he always was.
Trump. Let Jews and blacks in hiss club and golf course....

Remember when Trump was a great boss, a great father, and a great businessman, before the liberal media rewrote that narrative? That’s still the real Trump.
Longtime Trump Organization executive and attorney George A. Sorial saw the real Trump firsthand, from the early days of The Apprentice to the passing of power to the younger generation before the inauguration. He learned from his boss how to use chaos, the media, and a single-minded focus to achieve things everyone else said were impossible.
He learned how to predict what the world’s least predictable leader would do next.
In The Real Deal, George A. Sorial and Damian Bates, a former newspaper editor who has covered Trump for years, explain the forty-fifth president’s business and political strategies in detail. Often what looks complicated is just a man giving the people what he wants. For instance, why would Trump run for president, when winning would be a financial disaster for him? He was forced to set aside his TV contracts and international expansion, costing him hundreds of millions of dollars. The answer is: because everyone he talked to wanted him to run to make America great again.
In this book we see a man barely recognizable from the media’s depiction. We see the deliberate and cunning reasons he scolds people, gets impatient with complicated briefings, hires neophytes, and starts fights in the media. We also see a boss who was hard-working, fun, well read, generous with opportunities, and endlessly interested in outside opinions.
The mainstream media has tried to undermine the president at every turn by spreading lies about his management abilities, his negotiation style, and his business success. Now, in The Real Deal, George A. Sorial and Damian Bates explain how Trump’s unusual style worked so well for decades—and how it’s working better in the White House than anyone realizes.
I like Samuel L Jackson as an actor, but I’ll bet he doesn’t realize that blaming people for things based only on their appearance (in this case, Trump) is exactly what people did to him as a kid when they referred to him by a term he considers hurtful.
The same Jao Bai-din seen here with Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan.
hahahaha! He doesn’t see it? He just basically called Trump something on par with n****r. He’s ate up with the dumb a**.
