13460831, i'd argue White Man Can't Jump is more of a black movie

than a white movie.

other than white people maybe getting behind Woody's initial hustle, and rant about how white men would rather win than look good, and black men would rather look good than win.

but even that falls apart because Woody's ulitimately such a loser in this movie.(Wes is kinda shiesty but far more self aware)

i dunno, i just don't see it as a movie that kinda big ups whiteness in the way that say Boondock Saints, or Rocky, or white teacher bravely rescues black school movies.
