Review: Am I Racist?

Daily Wire

I have been dying to write this review. 

As a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (yeah, right), I was given the chance to preview Matt Walsh's new movie "Am I Racist?" weeks before it came out.

They made me promise to keep my mouth shut, though, until this morning at 10 a.m. And guess what? It is today at 10 a.m., the moment we've all been waiting for! At least the moment I have been waiting for. 

I was never a Daily Wire aficionado until Walsh's "What Is a Woman?" came out. I hemmed and hawed about subscribing to the Daily Wire and finally decided it was worth the few bucks to subscribe for a month so I could watch the documentary. I have been a subscriber and unabashed fan since. 

"What Is a Woman" was a masterpiece, showcasing both the insanity of the alphabet movement and Matt Walsh's dry-as-dust sense of humor. Millions of ignoramuses think that Walsh is simply a scold--and Walsh CAN be a scold--without a sense of humor. In fact, Walsh is one of the funniest guys out there. 

He can make my lifelong liberal Democrat dad laugh uproariously. He LOVED "What Is a Woman," so when I offered to watch "Am I Racist" with him, he jumped at the chance.

It was worth the wait. We both belly-laughed more than once, and my father had his eyes opened about the race grifters.

The conceit of the movie is that Walsh is on a journey to "do the work" of becoming an antiracist.

The highlight of the film for me was Walsh's interview with Robin DiAngelo, the scam artist who has become a zillionaire by peddling her thesis that white people are inherently racist and fragile and that we must constantly bow down to the most absurd demands of anybody whose skin is a shade darker than our own. 

She is so absurd that every institution in our country has, at one time or another, either suggested that the book should be required reading or actually required it. It really is so bad that the Establishment went batty over how good it is. 

The entire interview is a masterclass in trolling. But Walsh accomplished the impossible: he got DiAngelo to open up her purse and hand his producer cash as "reparations."

How much did she think his generational suffering was worth? She gave him $30. 

Perfect. A woman whose entire grift--that has made her a millionaire--is based on denouncing the damage white people do by existing determined that the total damage done was worth $30. 

I'm not going to give you a blow-by-blow because you should go see the movie. Obviously, you will be able to watch it if you have a Daily Wire subscription, but Walsh and company have released the movie into the theaters and they are encouraging people to buy tickets and bring others along to witness the fun. 

You might even open up somebody's eyes. My father loved the movie, just as he did "What Is a Woman," and that is the important thing. If a liberal Democrat can watch the film and guffaw at the absurdity of woke culture, progress is being made.
