Samuel L. Jackson on Obama: “The Last Thing America Wants to See Is an Angry Black Man.”

Posted by Tricia Olszewski on Oct. 22, 2008 at 3:36 pm

A funny-'cause-it's-true riff from the Lakeview Terrace star about how Barack Obama needs to keep his cool no matter how apoplectic John McCain acts.

Funny, that is, until the very end, when Jackson straight-talks about "the elephant in the room."

"That's what we fear most as black people who want him to...be elected: Win, and somebody's gonna try to kill him."

Hey folks: feel free to post local stories on this blog at any time. I know that writing something - anything - about the Presidential race gets you a ton of eyeballs but, unless I'm mistaken, this is a local paper. Let's see some more DC stuff on here and less Obama-McCain inanity!

What, Dave, you mean you don't come here for Jason Cherkis's insights into things you've already read about on the national political blogs?
