Samuel L Jackson voted for Obama due to his colour

Samuel L Jackson has revealed that he voted for Barack Obama because he is a coloured man.

The 63-year-old actor made the revelation in an interview with Ebony Magazine.

“I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people - because they look like them,” the New York Post quoted the actor as telling the publication.

Jackson sounded off on his feelings for Obama in the interview.

“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,” he said.

Repeatedly using the N-word, the Pulp Fiction star added that Obama’s philosophical presence had been universally appealing.

“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," he added.
