Then he saves a black mans life (the same one from the former incident who was suddenly trying to prove that he is black), gives a black kid a ride, then shoots the black kid for thinking he had a gun (which he actually did but the incident didn't involve it). I could see why someone would think the movie is dumb, its pretty far fetched.

I'm with you, Sly. The movie piles on coincidence after friggin' coincidence. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but I didn't think it was one of the year's best, thats for sure. It had some interesting observations and interesting things to say, and showed how we all have our prejudices, be they what they are. But yeah, after awhile, I remember watching it in the theater and my eyes kind of rolled, as I was saying to myself, "Okay, come on, they are presenting these unrealistic coincidences and trying to pass them off as believable." It didn't work with me as it did with others obviously.
