Iconic actor Samuel L. Jackson has issues with Barack Obama
deliberately dropping ‘g’s when pronouncing words to seem like the
average American.
“First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop
trying to ‘relate.’ Be a leader. Be f**king presidential,” Jackson told
Playboy magazine. “Look, I grew up in a society where I could say ‘It
ain’t’ or ‘What it be’ to my friends. But when I’m out presenting
myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had
family what cared about me, who has a well-read background, I
f**king conjugate.”
The 64-year-old actor, who stars this fall in the highly-anticipated
remake of “Oldboy,” is also known in social media circles as the
“grammar police.”
“On Twitter someone will write, ‘Your an idiot,’ and I’ll go, ‘No,
you’re an idiot,’ and all my Twitterphiles will go, ‘Hey, Sam Jackson,
he’s the grammar police.’ I’ll take that,” he continued. “Somebody
needs to be. I mean, we have newscasters who don’t even know how
to conjugate verbs, something Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow
never had problems with. How the f**k did we become a society
where mediocrity is acceptable.”
Raised in Tennessee, Jackson went on to note that he’s finally proud
to acknowledge his Southern roots, and how his strict family
upbringing put him in good stead.
“Looking back, I love the South so much, even though there was a
time when I didn’t feel so proud of being from there. The sense of
community there is unheard of in this day and age. The idea that it
takes a village to raise a child—it works,” he said. “The one thing my
family insisted on was, don’t embarrass us. Don’t make us come to
jail, because though we will come to see you, we’re going to leave
you there. It just wasn’t an option for me. I was more afraid of the
people I lived with than the people I ran with.”
The famed actor also staunchly defended director Quentin
Tarantino’s controversial use of the “N” word in last year’s hit
“Django Unchained.”
“These 20-somethings can’t turn around and tell me the word n**ger
is f**ked-up in ‘Django’ yet still listen to Jay Z or whoever else say
‘n**ger, n**ger, n**ger’ throughout the music they listen to,” he told
the men’s magazine. “You can’t have it one way and not the other.
Saying Tarantino said ‘n**ger’ too many times is like complaining
they said ‘kike’ too many times in a movie about Nazis.”
However, there are a couple of things he says won’t do onscreen –
not even for his buddy Tarantino. Maybe.
“Probably dress up as a woman and kiss another guy. I don’t think
people want to see me do that,” Jackson added. “He hasn’t asked me,
but you know what? If it’s done right and the story is good, I might.”
