'A racist man decides he's not so racist anymore after a close encounter with Halle Berry's ass.'

The funny thing is Billy Bob Thorton had more respect for black people than any other white character in this movie. The father was racist, but BBT wasn't.

He had racist tendencies brought out by his father but I never considered him to be racist. Not really anyway. I think he did 2-3 questionable or bad things but you could tell he was steaming mad when his dad hurt Leticia & ran her out of the house. Infact when the movie labels Hank as racist, I think that's too broad- he was clearly being manipulated.

-Who is it?
-It's Grandpa. And it sounds like he's gotten into the horseradish again.
