Samuel L. Jackson: ‘I Voted For Barack Because He Was Black’

Samuel L. Jackson only voted for President Barack Obama because of the color of his skin, the Hollywood actor revealed in a profanity-laced interview in the March issue of Ebony magazine.

“I voted for Barack because he was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them,” Jackson said. "That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s] message didn’t mean sh-t to me. In the end, he’s a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do.

According to the New York Post, the "Pulp Fiction" legend repeatedly dropped the N-word during his cover story interview.

Him and 96% of the rest of the blacks in this country where is the big story. So who are the racist? I know a lot of blacks who go to church every Sunday and still will vote for this man in November despite his hatred for the Christian faith,his immoralviews and his unrelenting attempts to take away our rights.

Birds of a feather .bad thing is the whites are truly the minority. Know why? The Mexicans list themselves as Caucasian with the censer bureau. The whites and blacks would be close to even if it weren't for the Latino invaders

At least he freely admitted what the majority of blacks did. This isn't the first time we have heard stories such as this.

latino invaders? lets take a hard look at that. I don't see the majority of them sitting around sucking up our tax dollars. In fact just the opposite. family oriented, mostly church going. Hmmm now lets take a look at the black community broken families, troubled youths prisons filled. How come blacks can come here from other country's and make it no problem but american blacks have been on the dole for generation upon generation. then you wonder why they would vote for a 1/2 black man!

Maybe so but let's not forget the ones in gangs.

Not only the ones in gangs but the ones that are dropping multiple anchor babies. The men will work for cash and the women collect the welfare checks, food stamps and any other freebie for those anchor babies. Most of that cash is sent back to their home country on Friday.

Thank you for your additional information.

Don't be so eager to condemn the black community for voting for Obama based on race. The majority of white voters that voted for Obama did so purely to convince themselves and those around them hat they don't have a a racist bone in their bodies. They didn't care about his qualifications, his executive experience or his politics. The only attraction for them was that voting for an African American would make them "PC" and oh so hip during the political discussions while sipping $14 fat free venti lattes!

Before you jump all over me, don't misunderstand or misinterpret my comments. I could care less that Obama's black, in fact, as an individual he seems like a decent guy. Unfortunately, he's just an absolutely God-awful president, irrespective of any criteria other than his ability to effectively lead the country.

We all need to get over white, black, straight, gay or whatever else we can use to discriminate. Stop the mudlsingng and dirty politics during election campaigns.. it does nothing but show that all involved have a lack of integrity before the polls even open. Acting like spoiled children in front of the worlds media just does nothing for your credibility, or that of the country you hope to Lead

We're all in the same leaky boat. We can work together, row, bail and repair the leak or just keep finger pointing keep sinking!

Ok, so

#1 blacks have been giving Dems. 90+% of the vote for years

#2 republicans were extremely unpopular after the bush years

#3 Obama only received a slightly higher percentage of the black vote than the historical record

please tell me how do you have evidence that "all blacks voted based on race". You guys crack me up!

"They didn't care about his qualifications, his executive experience or his politics."

I forgot, did McCain have exec. experience? If he did, he used it to pick a total clown like Palin to be his right hand woman. And sorry buddy, but it seems the country has been split relatively evenly between Dem and Rep. voters so maybe people did actually vote for him because of his politics.

and a handful of whites didnt vote for him because he was black. we are all racist. its biological to gravitate towards someone similiar to yourself.
unfortunately, its a little stronger in some than others
