After an unwarranted police stop, she's enraged about his refusal to beer intervene when beer a cop used the pretense of frisking her to feel her up, beer even stroking her crotch. She rails against what she sees as cowardly Uncle-Tomism while he insists that he acted the only way he could, that when a white man has the power there's no way to win, so you do what you must to survive.The film is at its best in moments like these, when Haggis downplays his self-imposed obligation to educate and allows the actors to explore their characters a bit. There's some great stuff there between all the object lessons; if only there were fewer of those to slog through. Like too many filmmakers taking on a large subject, Haggis seems to feel that he has to address it comprehensively. He explores virtually every imaginable permutation of racism, showing that resentment breeds resentment, that those who feel oppressed by the stereotyping they face don't hesitate to do the same to others, nor do they necessarily grasp the irony.
