Samuel L. Jackson - I Voted for Obama BECAUSE HE'S BLACK
TMZ ^ | February 11, 2012

Posted on 02/11/2012 8:09:49 AM PST by maggief

Barack Obama's politics meant nothing to Samuel L. Jackson because the "Pulp Fiction" star only voted for the president for one reason and one reason only ... because he's black.

In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, "I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them ... That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me."

Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, "When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a [bleep]. Because, what's a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. [Bleeps] don't have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?' I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected."

Jackson - I voted for Obama because I’m too stupid to do anything else.

This is what I was thinking when I read the article. Herman Cain is ALL black and I supported his views. The media ran him off the stage. They won’t allow a conservative black run against their Obamessiah.

Sammy, “a mind is a terrible thing to waste.” Looks like the UNCF poster-boy is off-message.

And our first “Black” president led us into slavery. So what does that say sir? Steriotype is as steriotype does.

My news for this fool is that Obama is neither black or American. He is a half arab Muslim illegal immigrant.

Yes indeed;black men greet each other at my workplace with “bro” and a lot of bonding BS as though they were rare and special ,not the beneficiaries of dozens of special quotas,government programs,and preferences.
If whites exhibit a tiny fraction of such behaviors they are denounced as racist.
what a one-way street!

"OK then I’ll vote against Obama because he is black."

No, You can vote for somebody because of the color of their skin but you can't vote against somebody because of the color of their skin. There's the rub.

Wow, we now have Samuel’s tacit approval to vote for a candidate just ‘cause he looks like us!

We’d better tell all the “I voted for O ‘cause I’m afraid to look racist” folks they no longer have to vote for him!

Landslide... thanks, Samuel!

Whoever would’ve thunk that a person whose only skills in life are to utter words written by others and make faces could be so stupid? Of course, those are his hero Obama’s only skills as well.

Obama is half-white. This makes Samuel L. Jackson half-assed.

Yup. Samuel L. Jackson is the ignorant racist that I suspected he was. Fame isn’t a barrier to racism.

Maybe Little Black Samuel is miffed at his blackness on CSI being replaced with a guy who does blackface for fun.

There is something about Jackson which simply repulses me. Even if I didn’t know his politics. Now if I knew he was conservative it would be easy to overlook the visceral dislike.

Another Black actor has the exact opposite effect on me. I have a mind block right now but he is the guy in “Shawshank Redemption”. I want to like him just by his mannerisms etc. but knowing he is a radical lefty, it is easy to dislike him anyway.

What a simpleton. BTW he still is black not WAS black.
