(102,064 posts)Samuel L Jackson plays this bad cop who harrases his interracial neighbors... There's a scene where the white guy who is married to the black woman is sitting in his car blasting his rap music... Jackson's character says " you can listen to this rap music all night but you can never be black." I thought that was hilarious but seriously if you listen to people you can develop a bond and have empathy for them...
A lot of people on this board remind me of Michael Stivic's character in "All In the Family" They are highly educated but their education is from a textbook and they never gets past the theory stage. There was an episode where two black guys break into their home and hold Archie, Gloria, Edith, and Michael hostage...It ended non violently because they identified with Edith because of her authenticity... While they were being hold hostage Michael says " I understand why you are doing this. I know the plight of the black man. It is because of your disadvantaged environment." the African American guy says how do you know that and Michael says " I learned it in my Sociology course." The back guy says "Lookie what we have here, a white liberaall..."
