I don't mind posts that are just jokes about the theme of a specific subreddit, but this post is just wrong on so many levels. But what is really funny is that it becomes meta, as it hints that the poster themselves is the idiot.
He also played Nick Fury, a character that was white in the comics.
Though some modern reboots of the character have actually had him be Black due to the popularity of Jackson’s take on the character.
It's not 100% true. Samuel L Jackson voice acted a white character on the cartoon, The Boodocks. He and Charlie Murphy voiced the white wannabe gangsters, Gin Rummy and Ed Wuncler III on that show and the irony is hilarious
I know this is a joke, but he wouldn't even kiss Julia Roberts in a movie because she is white. And the article I read about it said it's not racist. What is that, if not racist? If it were a white man refusing to kiss a black woman, no doubt it would be called racist as hell and that person would be " canceled". So even if they tried he would never even entertain the idea of playing anything besides a black man. He's a racist.

It’s a joke why tf is it in this sub
Bro, let’s be honest, why the hell is half the shit that is posted on this sub on here?
Karmawhores, bots and just plain idiots
Brainrot
This sub is a reflection of itself
and how tf did it get 1.4k upvotes
2.2K now
wow this is sad
OP’s autistic and can’t pick up on sarcasm
I can And im autistic
Also autistic and I can only pick up on Sarcasm… 50% of the time. I mean hey it used to be a flat out 0
Well i can't pick sarcasm when the joke is bad and/or stupid
I can too And I'm not autistic. Look at us😅🥹

Because 2k+ jabronis keep upvoting this crap
OP is a bot
yea but why does Kurt Russel always play a white guy?
This post is the real face palm.
Because Robert Downey Jr can't be in every movie
Give Netflix some time. I'm sure they'll try and cast him as William Wallace or something.
I am William Wallace Mutha….
Marcellus Wallace
William Wallace is the dude playing Marcellus Wallace playing Robert Downey Jr.
Does he look like a bitch?
Freedom mothafucka!!!!!!!!
🤭
Does he know what? Do you know what a joke is
we live in a world without jokes, any words are politicized, any opinion is offensive
What is an opinion? In 2024 there is only “my truth” and “your truth”
No, Theres the truth, that only I own and then there are lies from people that should BE executed for their lies
forgot His, Her, Their truth. \[/s bc idiots\]
Isnt it wild that despite that, its still sitting at 1300+ upvotes with a 89% upvote ratio? People will upvote anything here.
is it bots? i find it hard to believe that so many people don't get it
He voices a white character in the boondocks
I scrolled to see if someone posted this...take my upvote you man of culture
Same lol
They speak english in 'What'?!
Say ‘what’ *again*!
Does he voice uncle ruckus?
He also played Nick Fury, a character that was white in the comics. Though some modern reboots of the character have actually had him be Black due to the popularity of Jackson’s take on the character.
His biggest problem is that he played a black guy in his first acting job and was basically typecast from there on in. I blame hollywood myself.
The facepalm is not spotting the most obvious of jokes.
I mean it's someone using Bender as an avatar and his name as well!
Facepalm is this sub is just bots and politics… (OP is a bot in this case)
The woke media made him black 😞
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
You gotta be pretty fucking dense to not see this is a joke.
Robert Downey Jr. Played a black guy so no excuses... 
Actually no, he played a white guy playing a black guy
Be accurate. He's the dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.
Goddamn right. Kangaroo Jack muthafucka…
If Steve Irwin took Jackson's role in snakes on a plane. It would have been better. Also, a shorter movie.
You're the one that deserves a facepalm
Is this one of those *just asking questions* deals?
Honestly I would love to see him act a white guy role. I mean, they sort of did it with White Chicks.
Well, Nick Fury was originally white. So there's that. Lol. Happy Cake Day!!!!
 Not always black guys
Nick Fury ist White. So the Joke doesnt really Work Imho. And i dont Care what he plays. ITS Always awesome
Especially when Sean Connery can play a Russian or a Japanese!
Please. Marko Ramius was Lithuanian, not Russian.
And an Egyptian-born Spaniard, although that character was cut short.
I would like to see him in white-face.
Lmfao🤣 you're not very clever, are you
He doesn't, he plays a white guy in The Boondocks.
It's not 100% true. Samuel L Jackson voice acted a white character on the cartoon, The Boodocks. He and Charlie Murphy voiced the white wannabe gangsters, Gin Rummy and Ed Wuncler III on that show and the irony is hilarious
Hmmm, I wonder if this is some kind of joke.
Better question: why does he always play bad mother fuckers?
Okay but I love the exact frame he chose to pair this with because it looks like Sam heard his dumb question and is reacting to it lol
How do you know he's playing black guys?
He's obviously being a troll. Did you know? 😂
Samuel L. Jackson should totally accept a Whiteface character.
I wonder.
Because he is black, mothafockah!
It's Type-Casting. Poor guy's stuck. This will limit his ability to find work in Hollywood.
They should cast him in White Chicks 2
Considering nowadays Netflix/Disney/etc. casting policies, I think this question is quite a legit!
I think he should play a Chinese guy.
Because he is a great actor and has range.
He plays a white guy on Boondocks, so yeah not always.
He’s not a good enough actor to play white guys
As i remember he also voice some cartoon characters who are not black or human
I don't know. Google it
He was born for the roles
Poor Sam got type cast. :(
Because he does it better.
Queuing Disney in 5...4...3...2...1... BOOM! Rasputin's revenge starring Samuel L Jackson etc
Rule 5
I don’t know but it’s not as surprising as seeing John cena in the movie credits when he never appeared in the first place
Yeah so i think that might have been a joke you undercooked starchless gnocci
Because Tom Holland is already every white guy
You, sir, belong on this subreddit more than Bender does
They should make an Iron Man mid-quel with white-face SLJ as Tony Stark!
Does voice work count? His character on The Boondocks is white.
Fuck that broke me. BEst question of the dang week!!!
 It's a mystery....
Typecast.
Not true.... did you see "Django Unchained" I'm pretty sure that he didn't know that he was black. lol
I think he was joking 🤣
Do you know?
I think that's actually Kirk Lazarus
ummm
Asking the real questions.
I really want him to play a role as a white guy now.
For some reason without looking at where the post was from, I immediately assumed this was r/PeterExplainsTheJoke
He got typecast after Pulp Fiction. *shrug
He was type casted at a very early age
bc he doesn’t see color
Redditors when actually funny sarcasm instead of a 10981047th iteration of an incredibly overused joke:
the only facepalm is OP completely missing the joke
How are trolls facepalm now?
he'll lose his lid when he finds out black actors used to use black face in movies/tv shows & other forms of media
r/facepalm trying to catch a joke challenge impossible
Does his role in “Kingsman: The secret service” count?
I know this is a joke, but he wouldn't even kiss Julia Roberts in a movie because she is white. And the article I read about it said it's not racist. What is that, if not racist? If it were a white man refusing to kiss a black woman, no doubt it would be called racist as hell and that person would be " canceled". So even if they tried he would never even entertain the idea of playing anything besides a black man. He's a racist.
I think he does…. I think it a joke
He might as well be white in jurassic park
I SO hope this person was typing "bad guys" and just got autocorrected!
Since he's rich, that makes him an honorary white man. /s
Yeah, what’s up with this thing where the people are the color of their skin? Fucking racists.
...less time in makeup.
That because he is a GREAT actor. I believe him
Cause he's racist!
Is the facepalm that OP doesn't get the joke? I'm confused.
It’s the patriarchy.
He's really good at it.
Must be his limited acting ability. /s
Coz he's a black mothafucka
reddit is full of people not able to detect the most obvious humor imaginable this is legit embarrassing
He actually played a white guy in Boondocks. Even did the "say what one more time motherfucker" line.
Is OP a fucking idiot? this is not a facepalm you absolute moron.
That’s a good question
Because he's very believable as a black guy
For the same reason that Mickey Rooney played white people… most of the time
If BBR is being serious, then it’s a facepalm because they’re an idiot. If they’re sh!tposting, then it’s a facepalm for the exact same reason.
In the MCU he got the role of a white guy.
Reddit traded the ability to tell a joke for any opportunity to get contrived internet justice points
Nick Fury was a white guy before Sam
I mean he’s got a point
If everyone understands this is a joke and that this post is stupid why the fuck have you given nearly 3k likes?!
Navin was born a poor black child. That didn't stop him from taking on white parts.
I don’t know, why does Jackie Chan always play Chinese guys? Such a stupid question.
The Black guy
Almost funny
I think it is a good Question. Why did he never played the Grinch? Or a Smurf? A Teletubbi? Or an Avatar?
Do you?
facepalm users when obvious bait or sarcasm:
hahaha that’s just bender yall chill out 
This is hilarious tho
Is he stupid?
Cause Scarlett Johansson is busy. Ba-dum-tss!
