Samuel L. Jackson has criticized the Academy Award nominated film "12 Years a Slave."
During an interview with the International Business Times, Jackson stated that he believes the Steve McQueen film is proof that racism is still present in America. He said that the only reason the film was made was because McQueen was British and notAfrican-American. He added, "I would think that if anAfrican-American director went into a studio and pitched that particular film, they would be like: 'No, no, no.' It is a film about African-Americans - a dark period of history that they don't like to explore in that particular way." - See more at: http://www.africanewspost.com/2014/02/samuel-l-jackson-criticizes-lupita.html#sthash.4zlKdwXr.dpuf
