Am I Racist?

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.

I had high hopes for Am I Racist? After seeing the trailer, and while the film had some genuinely funny moments, it didn't fully meet my expectations. Matt Walsh did let the other side talk, and in many cases, they exposed themselves quite a bit. However, I think the film could have gone even deeper if Walsh had taken a more subtle approach. Many of the questions and comments he made sounded pretty much exactly like what they were: A right-wing person trying trying to pretend to Take on a left wing view of race relations.

Throughout the mockumentary, it was clear that people were suspicious of him-often because his satirical comments were obvious, and this put them more on guard than they probably would have been if he had asked more genuine, open-ended questions that were worded in a manner more in line with how they actually think.

One such moment was when Walsh interviewed Robin DiAngelo. By presenting contradictions in her thinking in a 'confused' and inquisitive tone, he managed to highlight the flaws without being overly confrontational or raising much suspicion. If the film had maintained this kind of subtle questioning throughout, I think it would have been even more effective in exposing the contradictions in modern discussions on race. As it stands, the film feels like it missed an opportunity to dig deeper and reach a wider audience by over-relying on obvious satire. I predict that it will fall short of reaching or affecting people who do not already stand on the same side of the discussion as Matt Walsh.

It's still worth watching if you enjoy political satire, but I think it could have been stronger with a more nuanced approach.

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.

Am I Racist?

The film explores the varied approaches to that question and what it means to be Anti-racist. From talking to Anti-racist experts to patrons from a southern biker bar, many different viewpoints are on display.

Matt Walsh takes his deadpan humor and gets his DEI certification to meet with people like Robyn DeAnglo (White Fragility), and other voices behind the Anti-racist movement.

The film exposes the amount of money Anti-racists get paid from the people trying to become anti-racist. There are a few people on the street/ biker bar that share their thoughts on race and racism in America, that was enjoyable.

There are some really hilarious scenes and some good chuckles through out.

A recommended watch.

I've been a fan of Matt Walsh's since i watched "What is a Woman" and this movie was just as good in my opinion. It's definitely not for everyone. It definitely exposes what's going on in the world today with everyone calling everyone else racist which a lot of people are profiting from. Some of the moments in this movie can seem a little long at times, but not too bad. There were also a few moments in the movie where I was just wondering how there can be people like this in the US. How Matt Walsh kept a straight face while making this movie is amazing. If you are curious or not about watching this movie, just go see it.
