          Why bring Vicki's race into it at all?
          I might bring it up to illustrate the point that the same people who whine about "whitewashing" seem to have no problem with "blackfacing."
          There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.

            She was a total BITCH. I was waiting for her to be slapped. She was a crazy BITCH.
            As a female I approve the use of this word in referring to her

                  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bitch
                  You will notice that the first few definition are not gender specific. They are using slang, most of which was to put emphasis on the character's excessive nagging and/or complaining.
                  Personally, I believe their relationship was over the top. It was so bad that I was just glad one of them died so it would end. Furthermore, she honestly didn't seem resonable at all. No one in the movie did. The little boy trying to warn her husband was the most reasonable character, in my opinion. If he had listened to her and kept driving, they would have lived. That doesn't mean she is reasonable. She was actually very frantic, espeically in her attempts to insult her husband.
                  Anyways, you may be a lot happier if you calmed down and didn't take offense so quickly.

                    She's not a bitch, I'll agree. In fact she was rather nice in person!

                      Because she WAS a bitch. It has nothing to do with her being a woman! (Go watch the Mother's Day remake. Plenty of woman in that and
                      none
                      are bitches)
                      The first time we meet her she's yelling at her boyfriend, and then when he accidentally runs a kid over, which he's PROBABLY in shock over, she starts screaming at him non-stop about how he just murdered a boy and is going to jail (when it turns out he didn't even cause the boy's death) Not to mention she constantly takes shot at him every single time she can. So no, she's called a bitch because that's what she is.

                        She was a super BITCH it's not a matter of being "disrespectful" it's just the way it is.

                          What does being black have to do with not calling her a bitch? Her character was a bitch, plain and simple.
                          MovieKid100's mom is a prostitute. One Direction sucks. You're Next failed. What else is new?

                            I am a woman, and after her first little rant my first thought was 'What a bitch!". That opinion did not improve throughout the movie. I don't think it is right to refer to all women as bitches, but in some cases it fits. This is one of them. And what do her looks have to do with anything? Pretty women can be just as bitchy as less attractive ones.
                            She blames him for everything, yells constantly, deliberately pushes all his buttons, and denigrates his military service. Where I am from, that is considered being a bitch by women as much as by men.

                              I'm a woman and I thought she was a bitch. Black, White, Asian, Puerto Rican, I don't give a damn. I'd have bitch slapped her too. She was a foul mouthed, disrespectful, harridan. Sure she made some good points at times such as "there's no cars. no people." but that only gets you so far. She's one of those people we clearly refer to as too stupid to live.

                                She was an awful, over-the-top bitch. It's a shame, too. They do it so often in these cable TV productionsLori in The Walking Dead, Skyler in Breaking Bad, the crazy detective in The Killing.

                                  Now see, you used a GREAT substitute for the word 'bitch'. Harridan is a fantastically wonderful descriptive word. I love it. She can be called a harpy, a shrew, a HARRIDAN,
                                  HA! Just for giggles I looked up 'bitch' in the Thesaurus on the 'Urban Dictionaries' site. According to what I read, if an expletive is needed 'bitch' seems to be the least offensive, at least to me.
                                  Sadly, HARRIDAN didn't come up as an option. BUT, when you put 'harridan' in the Thesaurus 'bitch' does pop up and the number one replacement word choice.
                                  Kinda funny,

                                    Black men (and women) call women bitches. It started with black rap music 20 years back. You put that into popular culture and the result is some more decay of society. As usual white people have been responsible for the advancement of civilisation and black people are responsible for the destruction of civilisation. Just look at Detroit.

                                      Aw come one, really? You're going to blame the Black culture for the overuse of the word 'bitch' in our society?
                                      I think you are a TROLL attempting to start an even larger fight.
                                      I found this website, I think you'd benefit from reading it before you continue making such inflammatory remarks.

                                        She did not "have a voice" she was abusive towards him. (yes I know he hit her but, hell, I would have too!) He is a Vet. He probably had PTSD (and again yes I know at that time, PTSD wasn't widely known about) I understand she was scared but, she also completely disrespected him. He was looking out for her safety at times and she disregarded him. Her whole additude, body langauge and focus was about herself. So yes, I believe, Vicki was being a bitch. (Also, this has NOTHING to do with her race.)
                                        Also I am sorry for my spelling. I am not making an excuse, I just can't spell that well.
