'Sad commentary': Samuel L. Jackson 'really wanted' San Bernardino attacker to be 'crazy white dude'

Actor Samuel L. Jackson admitted in a recent interview that he was disappointed when he found out the San Bernardino terrorists were Muslims and went on to describe what he’d have preferred:

“When that thing happened in France, we were sitting there going, ‘Oh, my God, these terrorists!’ Mr. Jackson, 67, told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Sunday. “And I can’t even tell you how much that day the thing that happened in San Bernardino — I was in Hawaii — how much I really wanted that to just be another, you know, crazy white dude, and not really some Muslims, because it’s like: ‘Oh, s–. It’s here. And it’s here in another kind of way.’ Now, OK, it happened on an Army base and it happened somewhere else. But now?

“It’s like they have a legitimate reason now to look at your Muslim neighbor, friend, whatever in another way. And they become the new young black men,” he added.

Pitiful.

I really wanted them not to murder 14 innocent people.https://t.co/XQdrf7xXX9

@WashTimes it really stinks when pesky facts contradict your preferred narrative huh?

Sad commentary when you would rather go full racist than worry about the victims and their families. https://t.co/0GCbyNE8ln

In the interview, Jackson said he’s backing Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary but referred to self-proclaimed enemy of Wall Street Bernie Sanders as a “man of the people.” No word on how the credit card company Jackson promotes in commercials feels about that or his comments about San Bernardino.
