Samuel L. Jackson and Obama

<p>There is a clip on tmz.com that shows Samuel L. Jackson responding to a photographers comments about&nbsp; Barack Obama.&nbsp; When the paparazzi asks if&nbsp;Samuel has any words for the blacks who DIDN&#39;T &nbsp;vote for Obama, his response is: &quot;Is there such a thing?&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; This type of comment gives credence to the&nbsp;notion that blacks voted for Obama simply because he&#39;s black&nbsp; and don&#39;t care at all about his qualifications.&nbsp; Which is fine if that&#39;s how you roll; just admit it. Don&#39;t pretend that you&#39;re making a vote for &quot;change&quot;. <br><br>Obviously it&#39;s ok to be racist as long as you&#39;re black.&nbsp; If a white person was making the comments that&nbsp;many of these celebritie are making, it would be considered a disgrace, politically incorrect, racist, etc.&nbsp; If I said I was voting for McCain (or any other white candidate) strictly because he was white, no one would think I was courageous and liberal... they could want to lynch me as fast as possible.&nbsp; <br>Why is the double standard acceptable as long as all the hatred is aimed in the <em><strong>white </strong></em>direction?&nbsp; <br><br>I&#39;m for equality for EVERYONE, but that does mean EVERYONE.&nbsp; Don&#39;t vote for someone because they&#39;re the same color as you are.. vote for them because they&#39;re more qualified.<br></p>
