Black Racism, the N-word, and Samuel L. Jackson

Black Racism, the N-word, and Samuel L. Jackson

Abraham Lincoln’s recognition that blacks and whites could never co-exist in America is rarely referenced today any more than are his efforts to re-locate former slaves to other nations during the Civil War or his similar post war plans which were thwarted by his assassination.

He envisioned the future, the severely-strained relationship of the two races that exists well into the twenty first century in the United States despite the 2008 election of an African-American as president and despite Barack Hussein Obama’s declarations that the era of racial tensions in the country had come to an end.

If anything, Obama’s election exacerbated those tensions, a reality that comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with his history, background, and associations.

In fact, many suspect that, inspired by his philosopical mentor, the late extremist radical Saul Alinsky, Obama feeds on and encourages divisions of all sorts as demonstrated by his support of the Occupy anarchists in order to solidify his power and to appease his leftist and African-American bases.

One certainty is that Barack Obama has done nothing to heal racial divisiveness as illustrated by the black actor, Samuel L. Jackson.

Jackson’s recent, proud admission in Ebony that he voted for Obama “because he was black” merely reinforced the common perception that most of the 93% of African-Americans who voted Obama in 2008 did so for the same reason.

Contrary to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s hopes that people be judged on the content of their character and not on the color of their skin, Jackson and the 93% voted by skin color, vivid proof of an underlying racism in the black community which would be condemned were the reverse true.

African-Americans have made huge strides over the last fifty years in every area of American life but, apparently, not huge enough to convince Jackson that the USA is not a white racist society. The black actor gained fame and fortune in Hollywood due largely to white fans who constitute the vast majority of moviegoers yet he left no doubt he still harbored bitter feelings toward whites.

Over what, he left very unclear.

Jackson’s Ebony interview was chock full of profanities and frequent use of the N-word, the only word banned from the English language because it carries so much politically incorrect baggage. Like NBA star Charles Barkley, Jackson never said he was a role model but, still, that’s one helluva example to set for black youth.

In Jackson’s interview, he reiterated sentiments already expressed by Barack and Michelle Obama who have also cited “the way we look” for political advantage.

With the vulgarities and the N-word bleeped since this is a family blog and to forestall investigation by the PC police, Jackson honestly and ignorantly said: “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. . . ” (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=13053.)
