And according to Samuel L. Jackson himself via NYT article,
Mr. Jackson said, laughing. “I said, ‘O.K., now you want me to play the most hated Negro in cinematic history?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah!’ ”
As Stephen, Mr. Jackson must navigate a host of thorny issues about race and class, which he took in stride. “He believes in slavery, believes in the hierarchy of things, he’s the freest slave on that plantation,” he said. (In character, he added, “I have the same moral compass as Clarence Thomas does.”)
I mean Thomas wrote in his decision on Wade v. Roe that other rulings that used similar precedent should be examined. He cited Griswold v. Connecticut, a ruling that prevents government from banning contraceptives, Lawrence v. Texas, a ruling that prevents government from banning consensual sex acts, and Obergefell v. Hodges, a ruling that prevents governments from banning same sex marriages.
He left out one ruling though, strangely enough. Loving v. Virginia a ruling that prevents government from banning interracial marriage. It uses the exact same precedent that Wade v. Roe and all the other cases used. I wonder why Clarence Thomas is alright with that ruling but not the other ones? Is it because overturning that ruling would personally effect his own interracial marriage?
Wow, that is harsh. Will Thomas be viewed as the worse Supreme Court Justice of the century?
Thomas has actually moderated since he was in college, when he would regularly harass interracial couples on campus. Then he went on to marry a white lady.
Seriously that’s fucked up. I believe he is owned by people. So definitely be someone who would if it came up before the court to vote for salver.
Mother fucker owner are billionaires.
Thomas is, without hyperbole, a race traitor - and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that his wife is white.
he should have remained “moderated” at Department of Education levels of sexual harassment against his subordinates.
Dude has some weird sex hangups it seems for sure. Behind The Bastards did a great episode on him.
If not the worst, then at least top 3
Oh my god…that’s so unbelievably accurate that it’s scary.
I never would have associated the two, but now that it’s been pointed out to me, I can’t unsee it.
You could literally replace the man with Uncle Ruckus and it wouldn’t change a goddamn thing.
I was literally referred to this series by a friend just this weekend. I need to watch it.
Just to clarify, for people, our AG is both black and freaking awesome.
I didn’t think I’d like him the first time around but Ellison has done a lot of good for Minnesota.
All you have to do is put a picture of Uncle Clarence next to Stephen from Django Unchained! I swear they’re identical twins!
This is like challenging a duel with a gauntlet, Men In Tights style, damn.
I feel unqualified talking about issues like this. So here is two minuets of Malcolm X talking about it.
