Thank You Sammuel L Jackson for being honest about why you voted for Obama.
Back during the 2008 election season, both white and black progressives made claims that if a person who is white didn't vote for Obama, he or she did so, because it had to do with Obama being black. When the roles were reversed and some whites stressed to Obama supporters that the only reason they voted for Obama is because he is black, they denied it. Most of them still deny it to this day. It's pitiful actually watching them continuously trying to deny the all but obvious. What progressives never figured out when they tried to blanket smear all whites who didn't vote for Obama as racists is that Obama supporters never really gave an explanation on why they voted for Obama. The reason why they couldn't explain their support for Obama is simple. Their answer would have shown them to be the hypocrites that they are. They voted for Obama based on the color of his skin. In 2008, the black rapper Ludacris made a song attacking Hillary Clinton and John McCain. The song wasn't just an attack song. It was a song to unify blacks into supporting Obama.
"we bout to make history the first black president is destined and it's meant to be
the threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!"
Obama was forced to condemn the song, but the media never made an issue about it. I'm just not a fan of fake people. I never have been and I never will be. A certain percentage of whites did vote for McCain, because he is white. That's just a fact, however it's beyond phony for progressives to call those people racists, when they did the exact same thing, when they voted for Obama based on the color of his skin. How does two wrongs make a right? The actor Samuel L Jackson had plenty to say in an interview with Ebony Magazine two days ago. Other then Jackson swearing and using the word nigger in ever sentence almost, I thought his thoughts were well laid out and coherent, yeah right.
Samuel L Jackson. “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. In the end, he’s a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do. I know politicians say [bleep]; they lie. ’Cuz they want to get elected.” “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.

I forgot Samuel L Jackson was elected leader and speaks for all the negroes. Oh well I guess all blacks better admit they voted for obama because hes black. I really wanted to vote for herb cain. Except he had to much trouble brewing with white women. Better not tell black people that jesus was black. No telling what they would do.

CB-In 2008, the black rapper Ludacris made a song attacking Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
OK. I remember when the press attacked Rush Limbaugh and called him a racist for his "Barack The Magic Negro" song. So, how is this any different from what Ludacris had done. Oh, wait a minute, "That's different!" I hate this hypocrisy and double-standard.
Blacks who voted for Obama just because of the color of his skin, that's nothing new. I have seen gays and lesbians vote for a gay candidates. I've seen Jews vote for a Jewish candidates. I find it very interesting that most people only vote for the person(s) because of their image first, and are not interested in their policies.
So, let me guess...if your (black) candidate has a history of making bad decisions, has brushes with the law, and cold care less about the interest of the nation, they would still vote for that person?
What I don't understand is, why is it that they still defend Obama when he still has not done anything to improve this country?
Or here's an interesting question: Why do they defend the likes of former D.C. Mayor Marion Berry, who was busted for possession and use of crack cocaine? Despite the evidence, black jurors at his trial were "suspicious" and were convinced that the prosecution had falsified evidence and testimony as part of a racist conspiracy against Barry. Of course Barry was convicted, a couple of years later, he was still voted back into office by his black constituents. Yeah, and I would still have considered voting for Richard Nixon and giving him a second chance at the presidency. Of course I'm just being facetious.
Before Obama was elected, I asked a few blacks why they were voting for him. Their answers would be vague, because they like "his policies". When I pointed out the flaws of his policies, they would get defensive and say I'm being racist.
I want to be hypothetical here: Let's say a black politicians whose opponent is white, and let's say that they belong to the same party. The white politician's policies are far more better than than the black politician. The white politician's policies would benefit well for the nation and the black community. Would the black community still vote for the black candidate over the white?
Why is it that most blacks are in favor of a black Democrat than the black Republican? I wonder if blacks would still vote for a black Republican whose opponent is a white Democrat?
CB;"A certain percentage of whites did vote for McCain, because he is white. That's just a fact, however it's beyond phony for progressives to call those people racists, when they did the exact same thing, when they voted for Obama based on the color of his skin. How does two wrongs make a right?".
I'll speak for myself and myself only. I've always voted Democrat. During my lifetime, the Democrat platform has always been closer to my ideological beliefs. I've voted for White Democrats, Black Democrats, Latino Democrats and female Democrats. If President Obama were a Republican/conservative, or basically anything other than a Democrat, chances are very high, to nil that I would have voted for him. Furthermore, I can tell you I know hundreds, perhaps thousands of Blacks who feel the same.
Now, you pointed out the fact that "some Whites voted for McCain because he is White." Yet you ask, "whats the difference", and "two wrongs don't make a right." Tyrone, you know damn well what the difference is. There are "SOME" Whites, under any circumstances, that would never vote for a Black person, conservative republican or not!
Back in October of last year, AlterNet's Chauncey DeVega compiled some comments "SOME" whites had written about Herman Cain. These folks could care less that Cain is a Conservative.
Samuel L. Jackson said: “I voted for Barack because he was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them.”
Explain to me Mr. Jackson why the majority of whites did not vote for McCain. I think that statement itself is racist.
If Jackson only voted for Obama simply because he's black, that is pretty biased in itself. Why are people so one-dimensional? They look at the person's outside instead of what they are on the inside.
Since the accusations against whites are if they did not vote for Obama or against his policies, they are racist. How many times do we have to remind everybody, that Obama is HALF-BLACK!
A friend of mine, who is white and opposes Obama, who too has been accused of racism, told others and reminded them that Obama is half-black and half-white, that he opposes the other half (white) of him.
Gerald T "I forgot Samuel L Jackson was elected leader and speaks for all the negroes"
Well someone has to lead them Gerald,independent thinking among blacks is something that is severely frowned upon by the progressive power structure Gerald.
Gerald T "Oh well I guess all blacks better admit they voted for obama because hes black. I really wanted to vote for herb cain. Except he had to much trouble brewing with white women. Better not tell black people that jesus was black. No telling what they would do"
Right, how come I want to throw the BS flag in your direction Gerald? You wanted to vote for Herman Cain? lol You must think I was born on the last drop of rain or close to it Gerald, that was funny.

There is no comparrison. The Rush Limbaugh parody "Barack The Magic Negro" was done by comedian Paul Sanklin. It was a parody of
the story written by a black editor of the LA Times David Ehernstein entitled "Barack The Magic Negro" in 2007 Limbaugh was attacked and falsely accused of originating the term Obama the Magic Negro because he is a white conservative even though it was a black progressive editor who wrote the original story well over a year before Shaklin made the parody for Limbaugh's show. Once again, big difference.

It's two faced for anyone to have voted for Obama based on his race and then have the gull to attack others who disagree with obama based on policy as being racists.
anon "So, let me guess...if your (black) candidate has a history of making bad decisions, has brushes with the law, and cold care less about the interest of the nation, they would still vote for that person? "
I posted a video a few weeks ago about what a black female state senator by the name of Lisa Gladden said when Obama was elected. She said "I don't care if Maryland goes broke as long as Barack Obama is president". There are a certain percentage of blacks who will never fault Obama on anything based solely on the color of his skin. He will never be able to do no wrong in their eyes.
anon"Before Obama was elected, I asked a few blacks why they were voting for him. Their answers would be vague, because they like "his policies". When I pointed out the flaws of his policies, they would get defensive and say I'm being racist. "
To call whites who challenge them on the policies of Obama a racist is their typical deflective knee jerk reaction. As I said before, they know full well why they really voted for Obama, and it has nothing to do with his policies. Most Americans didn't even know what he stood for. All they knew was "Hope & Change" and "Yes We Can". That isn't policy, that is platitudes.
anon "Why is it that most blacks are in favor of a black Democrat than the black Republican? I wonder if blacks would still vote for a black Republican whose opponent is a white Democrat?"
I guess according to their warped thought process, a white democrat is more black then a black republican. It doesn't matter that the black republican grew up in the area and the white Democrat only visits during election time.
p allen "I'll speak for myself and myself only"
Yeah, sure allen, whatever you say.
p allen "I've always voted Democrat. During my lifetime, the Democrat platform has always been closer to my ideological beliefs.

Ok, lets take what you said at face value. Why is it that whenever someone has a legitimate criticism of Obama based on policy, that person is immediately singled out by democrats as being a racist? If voting for and supporting Obama was based on him being a Democrat, why progressives always interject Obama's race 24/7? Just answer that.
CB;"Why is it that whenever someone has a legitimate criticism of Obama based on policy, that person is immediately singled out by democrats as being a racist?".
"Whenever" someone has a legitimate criticism of Obama, most left-wing pundits (Black or White) do not accuse them of racism. The question here is, what is "legitimate" criticism.
First you have to realize that there are difference ideologies on both sides.
During a State of the Union speech, the president states his policy position. Is it legitimate criticism for a member of congress to yell from the floor, "YOU LIAR" directed at the president?
Democrats were for the auto bailouts. Republicans were not. Is legitimate criticism; "Communist, Socialist take over of private business", when the government clearly was not?
The right-wing is predominately anti-abortion. The left-wing is predominately pro-choice. Thus, for those who believe that a woman has the right to choose, including the president, is a legitimate criticism, "baby killer?"
Is it legitimate criticism for some on the right to claim that president Obama "really didn't want Osama Bin-Laden killed", when the president said he would do it, before he got elected, and after he became president? Is it legitimate criticism to claim that President Obama doesn't deserve "any credit" for the take down of Bin-Laden?
Is it legitimate criticism for FOX Nation to criticize President Obama for speaking at Disney World when three other presidents, Reagan, Cater and George H.W. Bush, did the exact same thing?
Those are just a few. However, you might actually buy into some of the above nonsense. You might believe it's okay to "wag your finger in the presidents face." It all comes down to what some might feel is legitimate, versus what is sensible.
PLEASE WHITEY DO THE RIGHT THING AND DO NOT NOMINATE RICK GOOBER SANITORIUM HE CAN NOT BEAT PRES OBAMA LOOKS LIKE THANKS TO THE WHITE DEMON DEVIL REPUBLICANS WE WILL HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS OF WHITEY WHINNING ABOUT PRES OBAMA LIKE THE LITTLE BIOTCH WHITEY IS.
Samuel L. Jackson-"I know politicians say [bleep]; they lie. ’Cuz they want to get elected.”
Well, I would have to agree on that one. Majority of all politicians would say anything to get your vote. Promises, promises!
Of all the promises that they make, they only complete about %10 of those promises.
I remember after Hurricane Katrina, Mayor Ray Nagin who was up for re-election, promised the citizens of New Orleans, which is predominantly black, that the city would be rebuilt and up and running in a years time. He was re-elected of course and he did not do squat. What I was told, a coworker of mine who is from New Orleans, went back home for a visit and it still looks like a junkyard in a lot of areas and thousands of people are without homes. What they show on TV today is just an illusion.
So, did the citizens of New Orleans voted for Nagin for what promised, or was it because he was black?
Gerald T.-"I really wanted to vote for herb cain."
Are you being facetious, Gerald?
Be honest. Would you still vote for a black politician regardless of any political affiliate because he or she is black. If not, why do you have a problem with a black Republican like Herman Cain by calling him "Herb"?
A little history lesson, Gerald: the Democratic party had a history in favor of slavery, segregation, and opposing of the Civil Rights bill. The fact that LBJ, a Dem. signed the Bill into law, it did not stop him of passing the Great Society Bill. Since then, much of the black family and civil structure has collapsed.

Obama can beat Rick Santorum based on what? At this point in time the question really isn't who can beat Obama, the question truly who in this country can't beat Obama. This isn't 2008, the historic aspect of Obama is over. Obama has to defend his record, the election will be about him not Santorum. That's what leftists never get, they think as long as the Obama is popular, it's a done deal. Well Obama is nowhere near as popular as he was four years ago, and Santorum is no John McCain, also Obama doesn't have George Bush to use as a crutch in his campaign. Anyone can beat Obama, and I do mean anyone.
anon "

Well, Nagin did say he was going to make New Orleans a "chocolate" city again. I found that comment by him odd, because the only city or actually town I know of that is famous for chocolate is Hershey Pennsylvania.

Ever since Palin referred to Cain as Herb, Gerald has had some sort of word fetish with the word.
Anonymous asks me would I vote for a black politician regardless of any political affiliate because he or she is black. I voted for Bill Clinton Al Gore and John Kerry. All of them are white. The way I see it is you can vote for who ever you want.
I had people on this blog call me a racist. Okay im a racist who voted for white democrats. I guess it happens all the time in the democrat party because blacks like me voted for whites. But your racists in the republican party wont vote for a black even if hes in the republican party. Republican racists refuse to vote for blacks period! Go to the alternet link that p anthony posted and see what a racist republican does.
Gerald T.
Looking forward to your column on Jeremy Lin.
Gerald T ". But your racists in the republican party wont vote for a black even if hes in the republican party. Republican racists refuse to vote for blacks period! Go to the alternet link that p anthony posted and see what a racist republican does."
Education time gerald. Who do you think voted for Allen West in Florida? It wasn't black or white progressives. He ran in a mostly white conservative district. Tim Scott was elected from a mostly white conservative district in South Carolina. Nikki Haley was elected Governor by white conservative Republicans in South Carolina. The same with J.C Watts of Oklahoma. You spouted off something without doing your research. Bobby Jindal first was a congressman representing a conservative mostly white district in Louisiana before he ran for Governor. It was white conservatives who elevated Herman Cain to front runner status.
Gerald T; "But your racists in the republican party wont vote for a black even if hes in the republican party. Republican racists refuse to vote for blacks period! Go to the alternet link that p anthony posted and see what a racist republican does".
Very true Gerald. However, Tyrone will never admit it.
Here's a link to the Council of Conservative Citizens website, and their statement of principles.
"We believe that the United States derives from and is an integral part of European civilization and the European people and that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character. We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called “affirmative action” and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.".
The CofCC are very active politically. Yet they are very "careful" when or if they choose to endorse a candidate. However, I think they make it quite clear that the would not support a black candidate, as their principles states; "government should remain European in their composition and character".
CB;"Who do you think voted for Allen West in Florida? It wasn't black or white progressives. He ran in a mostly white conservative district. Tim Scott was elected from a mostly white conservative district...".
Of course white liberals didn't vote for West and other Republicans... liberals/progressives vote DEMOCRAT! Duhhhh? I think Gerald was quite clear in saying "your racists", which includes the VDares, the CofCC's, the David Duke's, the Occidental Quarterly's etc... these groups say they are "CONSERVATIVE." So, do you think that their members would vote for a black person?
No one is saying that "ALL" conservatives are racist. I'm saying that "SOME" conservatives are racist.

OK Gerald, let me ask you this: Let's say there was an election between the late, white Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd and black Republican Allen West, whom would you vote for? If you said, Robert Byrd, I got news for you: Robert Byrd was a white supremacist and a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He opposed the passage of the Civil Rights act like other Dems have during that time. So, would you still have voted for the likes of him?
Rick Santorum does have some sensitive issues. Rick Santorum was originally one of those candidates who spoke for things that he believed in and from the heart, like a Ron Paul or Alan Keyes but you figured, "well, Rick doesn't have much of a chance" but he's gotten a lot of votes. Yeah, I'd support him. I think I read how in '64, the Democrats were able to paint Barry Goldwater as real far out and maybe and maybe not they might do the same to Rick. Santorum is a good guy no matter what, backbone and has beliefs.
Great article.90% of black voters went with Obama,yeah thats not racism.It's ok for everyone who isn't white to make racist comments..isn't this country great!I am dissapointed to hear those comments from samuel jackson but you are what you are..and his case..a racist!Black people who think this way need to wake up and vote for the candidate who is going to help our country rebound and not be so shallow
Anon;"I am dissapointed to hear those comments from samuel jackson but you are what you are..and his case..a racist!".
Anon, you write that statement with such fervor. It seems as though you're dissatisfied with the idea that Samuel Jackson is supposedly a racist, yet elated to point it out.
Political ideology has caused huge separations in modern American society. At on time a "racist" was someone who espoused clearly and overtly their personal disdain for persons of other races.
-A "racist" was someone who denied others basic human rights in the country they lived and often protected. -A racist was someone who created and adhered to laws that separated people by the color of their skin.
-A racist was someone who vowed to protect his own race from miscegenation.
-A racist was once someone who denied others the right to vote at all, or for anyone, because of their race....
Now, you're a racist because of "WHO" you vote for!
Who wood'a thunk it!!
Yes, somehow racism has been redefined by the political ideologies.
