Samuel L. Jackson Responds to Laurence Fishburne Mix-Up with Cool New T-Shirt

After a very awkward incident where an LA anchor mistook him for fellow black actor Laurence Fishburne, Samuel L. Jackson would like to remind everyone that he is Samuel L. Jackson and not Laurence Fishburne, nor any other famous black person.

Hence this t-shirt:

The Pulp Fiction actor wore this t-shirt while on a junket promoting his latest film Captain America: The Winter Soldier., in which he plays Nick Fury.

Are we as a nation so racist that we can’t tell Laurence Fishburne apart from this distinguished actor? We gotta do better at race relations, guys. Gary Coleman shouldn’t even have to wear this shirt.
