Samuel L. Jackson Says He Voted For Obama Based On His Race; People Pretend To Be Shocked

Obviously.

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.”

CNN recently suspended Rollin Martin for tweeting a gay joke during the Superbowl, and Jason Whitlock had to apologize for a dumb Chinese joke.

I've gone back and forth on this question. If the left is going to use Alinsky tactics against us, shouldn't we use Alinksy tactics against them?

Shouldn't we force them to live by their own rulebook, and take some satisfaction in these suspensions?

But I think this is ultimately self-defeating, because whatever our intentions -- to undermine Stalist political correctness by making the avatars of it suffer under their own rules -- we end up pushing the rule ourselves. The PC regime ends up co-opting us as we endeavor to co-opt it.

In addition, we can't win at these games. They get minor slaps on the wrist. And further, I'm sure that even those slaps on the wrist come in a meeting in which an executive apologizes for it, saying, "We have to do this, because the right will beat up on us. You understand: We really don't want to."

Meanwhile, we get fired for this crap.

Samuel Jackson said that he voted for Obama because he's black. I'm glad he was candid. There's just too much bullshit in this country, and bullshit is the enemy of conservatism.

This was all cooked up by Marxists in the first place, seeking to undermine liberal capitalism via racial and sexual divisions, since capitalism was performing distressingly well at providing wealth for all classes. We have to remember that.
