It’s like that movie Crash, racist cops don’t mean to be racist, they just need a personal tragedy to help them overcome their previous bigotry
Just like how Sandra Bullock found out her real friend was her maid the whole time
Crash also taught us that if a racist cop SAs a black woman, it all balances out if he saves her life later
We were shown that movie, with that scene in full, in high school and frankly I memory holed that so hard I had to double check to make sure it was the right scene I was thinking about. I don’t even remember the tertiary reason we started watching it back then and I don’t remember any of the plot, but that scene has stood out to me for well over a decade.
Sandra Bullock also won the Oscar for ‘The Blindside’ in which she plays a rich white lady who steals a black kid from his mom.
