Where Are Your Principles? Samuel L. Jackson Admits That He Only Voted For Obama "Because He's Black"

Samuel L. Jackson is helping to prove that the voting process isn’t always the best way to elect an official.

The actor recently admitted that he made a prejudice decision and only voted for President Obama because of his skin color. “I voted for Barack because he was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them.”

While talking to an editor of Ebony Magazine Jackson goes on saying, “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.”

Continuing his rant the “Pulp Fiction” star said:

“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.”

Defending his use of the N word, Jackson added, “[It] became a part of my vocabulary when I was born . . . Because it was used on me in my house, often . . . I know the word [bleep] as an admonishment, an endearment, a criticism and an invective. So I use it; I don’t run from it. I don’t have an issue with it or who says it. I always put it in the context of how it was used on me.”

Samuel L. Jackson sounds angry?!
