Am I Racist?

Definitely worth the watch, though the people who would benefit most from checking it out won't. So this is essentially a "preaching to the choir" situation. Still, it was pretty funny and had relevant points to make. Walsh does a good job of just sitting back and let these people who profit off of manufacturing "racism" everywhere just bury themselves with their own ludicrous words. Will it change their minds? No, because people like this who are hell-bent on keeping "racism" alive (even though, as Thomas Sowell said, it's on life support) stand to lose too much if the problem goes away for the most part. Video review to come shortly.

We laughed more than I expected and the commentary really was not provocative. The documentary does a good job of showing not telling and the unifying overall message is exactly what we need these days. Glad to have someone call out the racism and division being spread under the guise of DEI. The movie is heads and shoulders better than any of the other daily wire films and I would happily watch it again and recommend to everyone I know. I think that even people that don't Share the producer's worldview can appreciate the social commentary and the fact that he seems to only punch up not down. The people that he confronts negatively are people specifically trying to spread here and division and making money on it can't picture a more worthy endeavor in filmmaking.

"Am I Racist?" is an amusing documentary that features Matt Walsh on a largely whimsical journey to educate himself on the in's and out's of racial discrimination.

As far as the comedic elements were concerned, the humor was witty and well-placed; serving as both an adept tool for moving the plot along and extra icing in terms of the overall presentation.

The story (though intentionally hyperbolic in nature) was more coherent and streamlined than most $100,000,000+ movies that have fallen by the wayside in recent years, and the through-line message was spot on.

For entertainment value alone, the film is worthy of a review. Moreover, it's a thorough presentation for those looking to learn a thing or two about one of the greatest modern blights few are willing to address.

This is the first movie in a long time where the arguments being presented are so absurd - so logically cork screwy -that laughter rolled through the cinema. There are horrible racist acts happening in our society - but the conclusion that our society is racist to the core, or that we are all racists, is bunkum. This film sets out to show the DEI industry (and cult) in all its intellectual shoddiness.

The skill of this film is to depict exactly the absurdity of these ideas.

Walsh is a remarkably skilled actor - wins the Borat award for straight faced interviews with people tying themselves up in absurd arguments. There are so many scenes that begin with a grave and seriously proposed premise...that then get taken by the 'white guilt/society is totally racist' workshop and TV show crowd to total farce.

A broader theme - brilliantly presented and established - is the degree to which we, as a society, have become a herd of grazing sheep, digesting whatever the media (of any type or any ideological leaning) present to us as "expert" information. The film is a must see as to how we are all being manipulated unless we keep our critical thinking skills in shape.

My biggest complaint about the movie was that it was too short. It could easily have been 15-30 more minutes, and covered more conversations. The amount that was payed out to some of the activists was so outlandish, it's a shame we couldn't get more content from their interaction. Maybe even a litttle behind the scene action too. Daily Wire could easily come out with a second movie to this, with a lot of that content in it, and it would still be interesting to watch.

The premise of Matt going on a journey was fitting, and it all works. The laughs were deep and plentiful. He artfully exposes the pushers of racism, who claim anti-racism.
