    Samuel L. Jackson: I Voted for Obama BECAUSE HE'S BLACK

    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."

    Forty four Presients and forty three were white. Racism is definitely a problem, I agree.

    Not nearly as widespread as those who voted against him because he's black.

    Yeah, that sounds like something Democrats would do.

    people vote for the candidate they feel best represents their interests.
    i think it's pretty logical that all the brothers and sisters figured obama would have their back. how that's worked out in practice is something else.

    You don't think more than a few white people voted for McCain because he's white?

    None. Racism among whites no longer exists. The only racist problems we have in this country are racist minorities, have you not been reading your Ron Paul newsletters?

    LOL... you go with that. And then the GOP complain that African Americans vote for Democrats and don't even consider the GOP candidates. I wonder why?
