Is it creative and cool when black people appear in ads using foul language like “Wake the f*ck up?” What about when we run ads in black neighborhoods that sing an R&B chorus to remind black people to “have Obama’s back?” A politician is bringing these matters to the forefront of public conversation with a new campaign he’s created to target none other than Hollywood superstar Samuel L. Jackson.
The ad has infuriated Jackson so much that he’s threatening to sue the man who created it. Randall Terry, who is running for President of the United States and for Congress in Florida, is accusing Jackson of “carrying water for racists” whom he claims promote black genocide by supporting abortion clinics that are primarily located in black neighborhoods.
Jackson created a video on the matter that has since been banned, where he uses a character referred to as “Sir Reginald Bling.” Mr. Bling then raps about Jackson and his allegedly buffoonish minstrel show:
When Obama and Biden work themselves to a fit, they picked up the phone, called 9-1-holy sh*t. Send a man who will Die Hard with a Vengeance for us, and a man who will stay in the back of the bus. You’re darn right we’ll work. No, you just stay calm. Get Samuel L. Jackson to play Uncle Tom.
“When you have to have a black man help with black genocide…call Uncle Tom Jackson!” says Terry’s campaign. In the letter to Terry, Jackson’s attorneys state that the allegations are “false, defamatory and outrageous,” in their claim that Jackson associates with organizations that seek to exterminate black babies.
“The use of Mr. Jackson’s name and image to advocate the highly offensive statements in the Commercial, namely that he supposedly advocates ‘Black genocide,’ and the other outrageous positions discussed above, has caused Mr. Jackson to suffer substantial emotional distress,” the letter says.
Terry says that he’s not going to back down and he plans to keep running the ad:
“The stations are protected by FCC law from any legal action for any political campaign ad that runs on their stations. And I am protected by the first amendment — not to mention the truth.”

While I certainly do think Mr. Jackson a great actor, politically and intellectually he never left the car wash.

Sam is an Uncle Tom,that is race traitor and Obama the magical mulatto is a specific problem because he misleads many gullible African people that believe that we do not live on a race based planet (what team are you on? I am on the African team!
Furthermore, Don’t vote, it is a waste of time.
The government is run by white corporations and private white capital. Its chief instrument of power is a private corporation, the so called Federal Reserve. Many people think it’s a government agency because it’s called federal. On the contrary, this is a system controlled by private finance and private bankers, to whom the congress has ceded control of the environment; that is the economy. They determine the nature of the economic system of America; these private people not the people you elect.
Power is not in elected politics, you can vote all you want to, and you will not have real power in the U.S.A. because the power is in the hands of people who are never elected. The owners of property, the owners of wealth, the controllers of corporations and the controllers of major institutions who survive and continue to exist as presidents move in out of office and as governments change. They are the permanent government. – Dr. Amos Wilson

Many characters are fictitious creations. It is important to know and differentiate fact from fiction, and reality from fantasy. I never knew this ‘Uncle Tom’ character, but I do know what the name has been made to represent.
As for Samuel L. Jackson. He is as confused on many issues and levels as most of us! Even the person who is attacking him with the “genocide c**p” has a very demented mindset, and it is spewing out everywhere.
We live in a country that was built on the blood of others and has a very dark history, which is always made to be forgotten and/or glossed over with psychological’good country’ propaganda and loads of c**p!
In fact so much c**p roles off the tongues of those who hold and control the wealth and power in this country, that we are all awashed in the thick slimy residue of it to a point that we all become stained, blemished, confused, and rendered completely retarded and obsolete to say the least! It should be hard for people to determine reality from fantasy while living “the American dream”!

Uncle Tom was actually a good man. He gave up his life to set other slaves free: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr1C07FxRe8.

This is true….but I refer to him in the way our culture has all these years. We are actually talking about Sambo. But, which ever way we black folks use our descriptions, white folks do know what we are talking about.

Isn’t Samuel L Jackson the same person who stated he wanted President Obama to act like a n*gg*r.

He may not be a uncle Tom but he’s certainly a black buffoon.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You don’t know an Uncle Tom from a n**i. White idiots like you assume that we will look at this from their cultural point of view. There are cultural differences in what something means to certain people.
