Liberal anti-Trump actor Sam L. Jackson ridiculed Dr. Ben Carson after Carson called slaves “Immigrants” saying: “MutthaF**ker, Please” but Jackson never criticized Obama when Obama said the same thing. Here.
Obama said: “Certainly, it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves,” Obama said.
Obama made similar remarks at a naturalization ceremony on July 4, 2012. Jeryl Bier, a freelance writer whose work has been featured in The Weekly Standard, found the remarks in Obama’s speech archives.
“We say it so often, we sometimes forget what it means — we are a nation of immigrants. Unless you are one of the first Americans, a Native American, we are all descended from folks who came from someplace else — whether they arrived on the Mayflower or on a slave ship, whether they came through Ellis Island or crossed the Rio Grande,” Obama said at the ceremony.
A search of news headlines from after Obama’s speeches did not return any coverage of his remarks. Meanwhile, Carson’s remarks were covered breathlessly.
