CONFIRMED: Actor Samuel L. Jackson really IS an idiot
Not that we didn’t know this already, but still … Via Politico:
Actor Samuel L. Jackson put politics aside when casting his vote for Barack Obama in 2008 and made his decision based on race.
βI voted for Barack because he was black. βCuz thatβs why other folks vote for other people β because they look like them,β the actor recently toldΒ Ebony magazineΒ viaΒ Page Six. βThatβs American politics, pure and simple. [Obamaβs] message didnβt mean [bleep] to me.”
[…]
“I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do,” Jackson said. “I know politicians say [bleep]; they lie. βCuz they want to get elected.β
Dropping the N-word many times, Jackson added, βWhen it comes down to it, they wouldnβt have elected a [bleep]. Because, whatβs a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ainβt scary at all. [Bleeps] donβt have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] donβt 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, βWho the [bleep] said that?β I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, βcuz he ainβt gotta worry about getting re-elected.β
In a video interview from September 2008, Jackson insisted he was not voting for Barack Obama “just because he was black” but more so for Obama’s so-called “change” message:
Mediapart: Samuel L. Jackson on Barack Obama by Mediapart
That video in and of itself provides Jackson with yet another award-caliber acting performance, especially considering his recent admission to Ebony Magazine, which is read by millions of black people across America. Β Β What a role model for empowering black people everywhere. Β Not.
Any more questions?
