Samuel L. Jackson is an informed voter
Samuel L. Jackson couldn't care less about President Obama's message or policy. He only voted for him because he's black. Hey, I used to base my vote for Student Council President on whoever had the tastiest cookies, so that sounds very logical to me. Jackson told Ebony magazine (via TMZ):
"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.Guys, I know what you're thinking, but let's put the pitchforks aside for a minute. You have to remember that Sam Jackson is a recovering crackhead, so you're better off not looking for deep thoughts from this dummy. I know, I know, any white person who dared say something so stupid would be vilified, tarred, and feathered, but we need to remember that Sam Jackson is black. Taking offense to what a racist Hollywood actor says is in fact a racist action. Of course, I can get away with it because I donate to the United Negro College Fund. Or at least I would if I had money. I had cereal for dinner last night. Dinner.
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."
