Samuel L. Jackson: Trump Like ‘Same Rednecks’ I Saw Growing Up ‘Who Called Me N****r’
Breitbart ^ | 21 Jun 2023 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 06/21/2023 8:51:19 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

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.”

Oh well.

Hey, Sammy:

That was Bruce Willis....

In one of your movies....

And he was being forced to do it by a terrorist threat. (and a script writer).

And Trump is, I believe, like Martin Luther King wanted: One to judge a person on the content of their character, not the amount of epidermal melanin.

Easy, they live in a (white man fabricated, protected and enabled) bubble. If you throw logic at them, their heads explode.

To Sam Jackson, it’s too bad someone allegedly called you the “N” word, but you’re a POS!

The fact that Sam is always screaming about Donald Trump tells me that Sam has done some nefarious deeds.

whoever this idiot is, he’s an idiot to insult black people, white people, and readers of his crude, offensive slander of President Trump... who proved to be one of the least prejudiced presidents in recent memory

It’s actionable slander; the statement is made as if it is fact, and there is malicious intent on SLJ’s part.

This just validates and solidifies my distaste and disgust at Jackson. I have never liked him. He’s a good actor, but a really crappy (racist, anti-whitey leftist) person, IMHO.
