- Why are you, specifically, apologizing?
- You are not the representative for all white people.
- If the intent is pure/sincere…

- What are you willing to do?
- Have a “Stupid White People Question” you want to leave us?

Trivia:
- When Riley is being grilled by the cop, Tom, and Granddad he says “say hello to the bad guy”. This is a reference to Scarface (1983), where Tony Montana (Al Pacino) says the same line.
- When Granddad is talking about The Teacher and says “I heard he was a Gulf War” vet, that is a reference to Bob Ross’ (who The Teacher is based on) service during Vietnam (which is a little known fact).
- The reference that Uncle Ruckus makes to the “comics with the talking penguin” is a reference to “Bloom County” and the featured penguin character, “Opus” by Berkeley Breathed, whom Aaron McGruder is a big fan of.
- The final line that Granddad says “This ain’t Beat Street” is a reference to the movie Beat Street (1984), an American drama dance film featuring New York City hip hop culture of the early 80s, breakdancing, DJing, and graffiti.
- Riley’s painting of a “fallen soldier” is of Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
