Was there a bigger problem for Abel (besides white people and thier relationship)?


I know he isn't fond of white men who are disrespectful or their specific relationship, but I always just felt there was a bigger problem that was not explained at all. It's even implied that his wife probably ran away from him because he was overtly strict to anyone in general.

Love Samuel Jackson, but yes, his character was unhinged. There was something else they shouldve explored.

On the other hand the movie was flawed despite good actors. The bachelor party was lame and so many scenes were too overplayed.

at the bar Abel said his wife (at the time of the crash) was in a car with her WHITE boss.

she was supposed to be at work, etc.
so Abel always suspected cheating i guess.. he hated seing white dudes with black women after that.
