I’m actually surprised more people don’t talk about this being Martin Lawrence’s first lead role in a feature film…a year before Martin first aired on Fox.
the mistake so many people make is seeing university professors as intellectuals when they’re actually employees at a combination hedge fund and healthcare conglomerate that operates a small luxury resort/sports franchise where student-customers occasionally take classes
Deriving “pride” from comparative accomplishments (cont. measuring oneself by relative position) is usually the mark of someone weak, inept, & insecure.
But boasting a second-hand vicarious pride from the accomplishments of one’s nation or tribe is the mark of a pure loser.
