You have to be angry about something and misconstruing what someone said in order to rile emotions and do platinum threads around here. The key is rile emotions. :yeshrug: There I said it.:russ: The premise doesn't even have to be legit..:lolbron:.it can be a redirect. :mjlol:

If it was a thread where Jackson said his first gf was a non black woman the thread would be 9 pages long already.

But :salute: to Sam

In 1969, Samuel Jackson and his angry buddies held members of the Morehouse College Board of Trustees hostage in exchange for changes in the college curriculum and school governance. Apparently, kidnapping people to get what you want is kind of effective, because Morehouse actually did initiate some of the captors' ideas.

Jackson and crew were, of course, expelled. But that was OK, because Jackson used his time away from college to go to Black Panther University with Honorary Prime Minister Stokely Carmichael as his professor. And that was when the FBI started investigating Samuel L. Jackson and family, which thoroughly spooked Mr. Jackson, and motivated him to get back on the straight and narrow.

Tavis: You mentioned Morehouse earlier and I want to go back to that because I knew this story of your - trying to find the right word here - of your involvement in a particular protest at Morehouse. I knew of the story. I'd heard the story before. I did not know that you all had taken hostages during this protest and I did not know that one of the hostages you took was Dr. King's daddy. Is it a true story?

Jackson: Yeah.

Tavis: All right. Tell me what happened. You can't take Dr. King's daddy hostage, Samuel L. Jackson.

Jackson: Well, we did.

Tavis: (Laughter) What happened?

Jackson: I was a student at Morehouse College. We had no Black Studies department. We had no Black studies, period. There was no real African-American representation on the Board of Trustees. There was no student representation. There was no community representation. We lived in the middle of some projects and the students of Morehouse were constantly getting beat up by kids in the projects and robbed and whatever. But we wanted to talk to them about that and see if we could fix it and they were having a meeting and we petitioned and they said, "No, we don't have time."

At the time, they had these chains on the walkway to keep us off the grass. So we took one of the chains off the walkway, somebody went to the hardware store and bought a padlock and we went inside the building and padlocked the door and said, "Okay, you're going to talk to us now." It just so happened that Dr. King's father was there. He was a de facto member. He didn't really have a vote. You know, nobody Black in there really had a vote. The president of the school, a lot of other people. Charles Merrill was in there. He was like the head of the Board of Trustees, and a couple of federal judges. You know, stuff we didn't really know.

So we locked them in there and when we got in the room, all of a sudden Dr. King's dad started having some chest pains, so I find a ladder and get him out of there because nobody wants to be charged with murder. So we put him on a ladder and sent him down and we kept the rest of them for like a day and a half (laughter).

Tavis: (Laughter) I'm speechless. I really am.

Jackson: Diana Ross's brother was in there with us, T-Boy, and she actually sent to Pasqual's and bought like fried chicken and potato salad and stuff and they bussed food into us. Somebody was about to call in the National Guard because of the federal judges and the federal judges were like, no, they're just kids. They just want to talk.

Tavis: So I feel like Chuck Woolery now. How'd the date end?

Jackson: It ended well. You know, they agreed to, you know, do something about the things. They got some African-American studies and student representation and more Black people on the Board and they got people from the community to come in and get involved in dealing with how Morehouse related to the community, whatever, and they granted us amnesty. Students voted to grant us amnesty and, as soon as school was out, the judicial board of the school, which had no students on it, all the old heads in Morehouse sent all of us registered letters and told us to come back so they could kick us out and that's what they did (laughter).

It was one of those kind of things where, you know, the first year you go to Morehouse, you had this big freshman lecture where - Dr. Mays was still president when I got there. He said, "Look to your left, look to your right. That person will not be here next year." Sure enough, I made it through three years before I was not that person that was there next year.

His mom sent him to LA because the FBI told him if he'd be dead within a year if he didn't cut that shyt out.

i like how he said "to all the celebrities pourin ice water on your head". cuz he know damn well they were only doin it because it was the trendy thing to do. Might be a couple black celebs that do it, certainly no whites tho. we're not talkin (white)gay rights or (white) women's rights.This something positive that would help blacks.

Samuel L Jackson has always been outspoken about things like this. I'm not surprised. Let just see what celebrities follow through though. I have a feeling that if it catches on and becomes trendy some black celebrities would only join because it's a hot trend and bandwagon. I'm mainly looking at you Musicians :usure: Most bandwagon group of entertainers thus far.
