as a long time fan, here are the proofs hes a scumbag


Everyone has the right to choose a president who will bring a better life. the person you voted doesn't represent who you're. I voted for Hillary knowing she was not the best. And ppl have chosen trump. I hope your lives will be improved. I want America to be kind again. Liberals didn't get the shot this presidency. We have to wait until the next one.

the surge of hate in his social network is amazing. I absolutely agree with you hes a scumbag. a super special scumbag who:

- grew up in a dark & racially charged Chattanooga
- was 17 when Martin Luther King was assassinated. what a great time to be alive
- met his father 2 times in his entire life
- stuttered, was laughed at, was bullied and stopped talking for 4 yrs.
- joined Civil Rights Movements
- locked up the trustee board because of unfair policies, then get suspended from school for 2 yrs
But who care. He's a racist with black privileges. Psst...

and this scumbag:
- worked for nearly 20 years at normal jobs (security guard, normal acting roles, ad) before he received his breakout role
- wished San Bernardino shooter to be white because he felt sympathize with the Muslims.
But who care. because NOW he's one of the scumbag "elites". only the weak sympathizes.

and after getting rich & famous, this scumbag:
- came back & supported Chattanooga (fund all school projects & other charities, giving speech, etc)
- still treat people with respect
- donated money anonymously
- doesn't care if his tax goes up if the right values are uphold
- support these:
21st Century Leaders
AmberWatch Foundation
Artists for a New South Africa
Cancer Research Institute
Champions for Children
Elton John AIDS Foundation
Friars Foundation
Greater Than AIDS
Hilarity for Charity
Listen Campaign
Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation
Luke Neuhedel Foundation
Make-A-Wish Foundation
MASSIVEGOOD
Melanoma Research Alliance
National Kidney Foundation
Nelson Mandela Children's Fund
PATH
Project Last Stand
Rape Foundation
Rock For Darfur
Save the Children
Stand Up To Cancer
The HollyRod Foundation
Treatment Action Campaign
Whatever It Takes

Notably are: One For The Boys (the reflection of himself), Chattanooga (the reflection of his root), & Alzheimer (the reflection of his loved ones, specifically his mom & grandpa)
but I mean, who care. He's a hypocrite who does charities for fame. NOW he's one of the elites, remember?

But I said I was/am a long time fan. becoz if all of these mean being a scumbag, then I love this scumbag. to ppl who are still angry about his political view, I will end with something positive. he may be foul-mouthed, but I hope u realize that he is a man whom beneath all his vice, has the heart of gold

"LaTanya and I care very deeply about civil and human rights and feel that it is important to provide an education for the less fortunate and that's why we recently set up our own charitable foundation"

I will stop harassing your thought. Have a nice day

Well said. Sam Jackson is a great actor & a good man. The only "scumbags" I see are all the losers on here leaving hateful ignorant posts.

The people who hate him are scum and jealous of him.

Too bad for them, they are irrelevant.

But it's ok that he's a racist because he's black and he's throwing bombs at white people. Right, libtards? Of course.

shirochan-20516, I really don't have a dog in this fight; I am neither a Sam Jackson fan or hater. I came on this board to look up something that he did several years ago. After reading your post, I just want to iterate that there is good in even the worst of people, and bad in the best...just because Sam donates to all those charities doesn't mean he is any better than anyone else. The average person cannot donate to those charities because they don't make the kind of money that Sam makes. The fact that he has his own opinion about things, supported Hilary for president and uses foul language all the time doesn't mean he is any worse than anyone else. The average person has their own opinion but does not have Sam's platform to spew it; the average person supported Hilary for president and now they have to accept the fact that she did not win; and the average person uses foul language, possibly because they cannot think of anything more intelligent to say at the moment.

With all that said, I really don't have a dog in this fight...I am not a Sam Jackson fan, nor do I particularly dislike him. I thought he was hilarious in "Coming To America", he was convincing in "Jungle Fever" and "Blue Hill Avenue", yet I would have chosen someone else for his part in "Shaft". I cannot concur with your statement that Sam has a "heart of gold" because the things that come out of a person's mouth represent what is in their heart, and all the bad language that he uses couldn't come from a "heart of gold".

Now, I will stop harassing your thoughts. Have a nice day...

I don't think he is a scumbag. He seems like a good guy that has done a lot for people. However it was stupid for him to threaten to leave the country because Trump won just as it was stupid for others to say it when they had no plans of leaving. Also this comment in your post:

"wished San Bernardino shooter to be white because he felt sympathize with the Muslims.
But who care. because NOW he's one of the scumbag "elites". only the weak sympathizes."

This doesn't really fit with the rest. Obviously I don't support anti-Muslim bigotry, but those that needed sympathy after the San Bernardino shooting were not Muslims, but those who were gruesomely murdered by Islamic fanatics. Had he done something for the families of those killed or the people injured, that would have been honorable in that moment, not talking about wishing the killer was white.


Overall I agree with your post, and think he has done some great things.

Nicely put

No disrespect, but you don't know Samuel L Jackson, you have no idea who he is in his personal life, you know what the media lets you know and what blarb gets spewed out on social media and that's it. None of us REALLY know Samuel L Jackson apart from what we see in the news and what he does on screen. So this entire post (which is done for nothing but causing unrest and attention IMO) is a complete waste of time.

The comments from people saying absolute trash like "Samuel is a great man and anyone who says otherwise are scum and idiots" are laughable, for someone to even come out and say something like that about people they have never met and know nothing about just shows how pathetic and broken our society is. And to sleaze all over other people simply because they don't like your favourite pop/film/sports star, is about as low as it gets, which makes thier comments all the more silly.

I personally like Sam Jackson as an actor, I enjoy his films (most of them) but I know very little about the man himself and probably never will do. So my views on him, what he does and who he really is are irrelevant, as are anyone elses.

But attacking other people for disliking him is ridiculous, everyone has and is entitled to thier own opinions. This doesn't make them scum, idiots, low lives or anything else, if anything, throwing around insults at people you've never met is idiotic, scummy and low in itself.

Peace and have a nice day.

That is all.



"Hasta la vista, baby."

His most recent stupidity is saying how he's a supporter of 0bamacare, because he's got relatives who can't afford health insurance and 0bamacare helps them.

He's worth about $175 million with the ability to make many million more.

If I had relatives who couldn't afford health insurance, I'd take $5 million, put it in a trust and have them submit the bill each month and pay for their insurance. If you figure maybe he has 20 relatives who can't pay for insurance and insurance costs $1,000/month, that is 20 x 12 x $1,000 = $240,000/year.

That trust fund will last 20 years minimum.

Maybe he could start some company for those relatives to work and at give them all of the benefits he enjoys.

Instead, he'd rather them live off of the government rather than take care of them himself.

Or, he just figures people are too stupid to actually think about what he says and will blindly accept that 0bamacare was a good thing.
