White People Question:

• Found on Twitter (and regularly heard): “Isn’t it racist to say “white people are racist”?”

  • It’s not like it’s untrue. Our country runs on systemic racism and white privilege.

Trivia:

• The last line of the episode, “Don't anybody go in the bathroom for 35 or 45 minutes. Whew! Open the window!”, is a reference to a very similar line John Witherspoon’s character, Willie Jones, said in Friday.
• This is the only episode in the series to not feature the "n" word.
• The montage song, "Straight Outta the Oven, Made with Nothin' But Lovin", was written and performed by Asheru.
