Samuel L. Jackson on President Obama

Great interview at Playboy Magazine. This caught my eye:
PLAYBOY: Or a society that views graduating from college or grad school as elitist, or one in which President Obama or other highly educated Americans consciously drop gs off the ends of words to sound like Joe Average?
JACKSON: First of all, we know it ain�t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to �relate.� Be a leader. Be fucking presidential. Look, I grew up in a society where I could say �It ain�t� or �What it be� to my friends. But when I�m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family who cared about me, who has a well-read background, I fucking conjugate.
So true. Posted by DaveH at September 24, 2013 5:35 PM
