[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.” that's right... in the end, he's just a politician just like all the other windbags out for number 1.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 February 13, 2012 Perhaps, but Sam is still backing and fund raising for Obama. Quote Jackson added, “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.” Don't even think for a second he's flipped over to the Republican side.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #3 February 13, 2012 Quote“I voted for Barack because he was black." If white people were "racists" for voting AGAINST Barack because he was black, then aren't black people also "racists" for voting FOR Barack because he's black? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine the absolute fury of hate from the left if a white actor like Bruce Willis had said this about Romney and then went to work campaigning for him? It would cause a nuclear meltdown from the Left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #5 February 14, 2012 IMO, Yes. If race plays into your voting decision, in any way, I believe it is. Racism shows it's ugly ahead in many ways. No group, that I've seen, is exempt from it though (sadly). It's a people problem I suspect is based in our tribal roots somewhere (clan wars, etc).Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StreetScooby 5 #6 February 14, 2012 Quote ..black people also "racists" for ... As politically incorrect as it is to say this, blacks can be very racist based on color alone. But, when they do it, it isn't racism. We really need a new word to properly describe this, IMO.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 190 #11 February 15, 2012 The fact is...white people don't care if black people insult them.

ShcShc11 0 #12 February 15, 2012 "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while DARING GREATLY so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
