Multi-millionaire movie star Samuel L. Jackson is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the Ferguson story.
66 yrs, processing the same Old Shit! It's supposed to be different… It aint! Sorry for the Brown Family… The rest of us too!

Are you sorry for the storekeeper who Michael Brown intimidated and stole from? Or the business owners who had their livelihoods destroyed by a bunch of criminals? Or how about the people misled by an incurious media to think that a “gentle giant” was summarily executed by police? Just wondering.

@TriStateTechCo Money and fame dont erase skin color. Just bcuz he is successful doesn't mean he is not affected. You must not follow him.

@liltwin1101 I follow him. But I'm also intelligent enough to see what kind of people this sort of thing happens to. Criminal element

A kid gets shot fighting with a cop after stealing from a convenience store…obviously the Republicans’ fault.

Yeah, that strategy worked out really well for Michael Brown.

A media that reports the facts instead of inventing narratives would certainly help too.
