The statement is walking on the Internet “Perhaps if we paid less to these modern rappers, and more teachers, in the future there would be more smart people and fewer shitty music”, which is attributed to the star of Tarantino films. We checked whether Jackson said like that.

Quote is very popular in social networks, but it appears in other sources. For example, the phrase entered into a selection of 20 statements of the actor from the portal adme.ru, and also fell on all kinds of Sites of aphorisms. The famous journalist Vladimir Solovyov in Your Telegram channel.

The statement is no less known in the West - there it is usually distributed in the form of a screenshot of tweet made by an actor. At one time, the picture was published by such popular (but not very reliable) resources as OCCUPY DEMOCRATS (more than 10 million subscribers) and The Other 98% (more than 6 million).

It should be noted that there are at least three versions of the “screenshot” of viral tweet. They differ in almost everyone: userpic, capitalization, font, the presence of a hyphen, some words and even the name of the user (the letter l is missed):

This means that at least two screenshots are fake. At the same time, in all pictures you can see a checkmark on a blue background, meaning that the account noted by it is verified. However, on real page The artist is not a similar tweet. As can be seen from other publications of Jackson, he does not use optional capitalization at all, and prefers to transmit obscene vocabulary not with stars, but original spelling.

In addition, if Jackson made such a tweet, it would inevitably follow the retweets, which, if the original post was removed, still contain at least a comment that made a retweet. There are no similar publications on Twitter-distributors (and this wave started in early 2018) for some reason chose a technically less convenient screenshot, and Someone - The words RT (retweet) along with a quote, but without a relevant link. But on Facebook, opening one of these publications, you can face warning “False information. Tested by independent facts. " Judging by the results of the search at Google, Samuel L. Jackson did not do such a statement outside the social networks.

Thus, with a high degree of confidence, it can be argued that the quote from the famous actor about rappers and teachers is false. Why the unknown author decided to attribute these words to Jackson - the question is complex. Perhaps because the American has already criticized the representatives of this genre of music. In 2002, he declaredthat they cannot be taken on leading roles in the cinema, putting on one step with professional actors-such as himself.
