I agree that Dillion's debasement of Howard/Newton is based on an inferority complex , that was n't bad given it illustrated a fact which was and is apart of the legacy of the U.S. What was horrendous was indeed the rescue scene. Ture, Dillion did n't know who was in the car but it was tawdry that the same guy who brutalized her is now the rescuer -- come on cry me a river! It was n't a straight forward rescue scene --They made the scene romantic and very sexual the couple were sharing an erotic intimate intense moment. That was totally insulting in other words Black women, they enjoy being raped if not physically then mentally. As for being jaded it does n't take harsh experiences for a person like Dillion to become "jaded(as in racist) It's embellmatic of whites whether rick, middle class or poor to feel entitled to privledge.
