"I was so bad they picked the white kids before me"


I guess its not racist cause its a black man saying it. So you know..Its ok.

But if the roles were reversed and it was a white man saying " I was so stupid they picked the black kids before me" we would hear how racist and hateful it is.

You're dumb, the line is "I was so bad, I got picked after the white kids"

Good movie

I was paraphrasing. Too bad your urgent need to correct doesn't actually change the context of what is being said. Seems like you were too dumb to give an intelligent answer.


Good movie


Pretty funny. From a guy calling someone else dumb. 

Just didn't wanna elaborate on your inaccuracy.

That's about it ?

The OP is right. If the lines had been from a white character who proclaimed his ignorance based on black kids getting picked first, it would be labeled a horribly racist line and people would boycott this movie.

I'm so tired of white people having to be apologists just because they're white.
