Can you imagine the uproar from the MSM if a Hollywood actor came out and said he voted for Romney because he was white.

Actor Samuel L. Jackson put politics aside when casting his vote for Barack Obama in 2008 and made his decision based on race. “I voted for Barack because he was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them,” the actor recently told Ebony magazine via Page Six. “That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s] message didn’t mean [bleep] to me.” Jackson, who skipped the Oscars to campaign for Obama four years ago, expressed his disappointment in the president, complaining that “in the end, he’s a politician.” “I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do,” Jackson said. “I know politicians say [bleep]; they lie. ’Cuz they want to get elected.”

Samuel L Jackson is a Falcons fan and thus has horrible taste/judgement in everything.

That's interesting, I probably look a lot more like Clinton (I was told I looked like Clinton, which isn't something you really want to hear in high school) than Bob Dole (my first eligible election for President) and more like Gore than W, and I guess I probably look more like Kerry than W too. I still voted for the Republican in each of those elections because I agree with their politics (slightly more) than the Democrats. Hell, if you drop the skin color I probably favored Obama more than McCain but finally got a Republican candidate that looked more like me than then the Democrat.

A lot of people voted for Obama because he was black....a lot of people (women) voted for Clinton because he was attractive....people voted for JFK because he was better looking and charismatic than Nixon in 1960. The vast majority of the American populace votes for whoever is most popular or whoever the TV tells them to vote for. The majority of voters in a presidential election are woefully ignorant on virtually every topic.

If we made movies the same way Jackson chooses candidates, we'd have very few black actors and hardly any gay ones, either.

In the end, however, Jackson proves himself to be a racist.

This is true.

If we are to believe that all black people voted for Obama because he is black then we must also believe that all white people voted for McCain because he is white.

Here's the thing. I never heard anyone saying they voted for McCain because he's white. I saw riots where blacks got enraged and tore down McCain and Romney signs, I saw tons of videos where blacks said they voted for obama because he's black, but never anything where McCain was voted for because he was white.

And still not the best black president.....sad. To think that if Jackie Robinson had performed like this baseball would still be segregated.

Not all black people voted for Obama, it was just 95%.

This is true...

Obama is fake black. He is half white, went to a super expensive and exclusive high school, raised by white people,
then off to the ivy league. When you hear him "preach" when he talks, speeches it is all an act. He picked up the tone
at the Black Separatist Church he belonged to in Chicago. Harry Reid was a little wrong because Obama does have
a Negro dialect when he wants to.

Wait.. A black man voted for Barrack Obama because he too was black..

Black man votes for black man? Faux mind-blowing mockery
White man votes for white man? RACISM!

Then when people get tired of the double standard, racist!

Along with his last name Jackson also made millions of $$$ off of white people.

95% of southern white men voted against Obama.

Culturally appropriate.
