That scene was illogic. One would only joke with someone who you have a close relationship with. His mother was hallucinating throughout the movie, why would you tell her "hey mom, I'm fcuking a white woman." wtf!

It was n't the brutuality which many object to. It was how the persons thandie and howard were devalued and trivilized in an effort to redeem dillion. A privledge characters of color are rarely given.

though I don't agree with this assertion, let's except it for arguements sake. Now, Newton after being abused by this man has to struggle to accept his help to save her life. Once again her life is at his mercy.

Dillion regret over newton/howard scene is never illustrated in the film. And if it was, maybe I missed it, it was short or weak at best.
