Libs need not answer.   I’m aware what you think.  
 

is it funny?  Is it worth watching.  Seems like a good watch.  I’ve seen some clips that are kind of hilarious.

All I’ve seen is clips and the trailer.  I’d like to see it, but I probably wouldn’t pay to because I doubt it would be revelatory. 

Ya. I don’t wanna pay but it seems funny.  From the clips I’ve seen.  He defo finds fringe lefties and makes fun of them well….    Similar I bet to like borat

It was well worth the $16 newly paid to the wire for a one month membership to watch the video.  That said, if you see the clips, you've seen the movie.  Being a white man and having already voted Republican during this primary, I've learned that I'm at the top of the pile, I'm a nazi, I'm racist, and there is nothing I can ever do to change my privilege.  Now I'm continuing my journey to learn what a woman is. /s

I’ve seen some clips.  Maybe I’ll pay to watch too.  It seems good.

For someone that is obviously racist. Why offer to pay them for the opportunity to watch a racist film about a racist if you are not, racist-adjacent, yourself? Being 'curious' and not 'bought in', would bring you absolutely nothing. I get the 'listen to the opposing side argument before coming to a conclusion' but you don't have to pay a racist to understand their argument if you have any kind of imagination. They're racist, its not hard to understand why they might hold that opinion. Taught to them at an early age. They have emotional ties to maintaining the belief. Changing it would mean addressing a whole lot of other opinions they can't justify. See, as a non-racist I just did it. Racism is much like religion. They get you young. Plant the seed deep. Tie a whole lot of emotional baggage to the 'truth'. Then tell you that you shouldn't ask or look for any answer that isn't already provided by the truth that has been provided to you. 

It'll be interesting to see the responses defending religion and/or racism. Seeing as they, typically, are one and the same. Does Dog have a preferred people? Isn't that racism?

I paid $16 to explore 'Am I racist?' because, as a white cisgender male, I recognize that biases are embedded in my identity by history, and no action alone can fully erase them. Understanding this, I want to confront the seeds of bias within me, acknowledge my inherited legacy, and take responsibility through self-reflection and support for equity. This is a step toward understanding my role in a system that perpetuates inequality and working consciously toward change. I appreciate how people like Matt Walsh and Robin DiAngelo take direct action, including financially supporting black people they encounter, to help repair the harm rooted in our collective shadow selves, rather than waiting for systemic change.  My favorite part was when a white guy said that he feels "cringe" when he recognizes he is white.

A few highlights on the worst parts of the video:

  • White bikers from the deep south at the bar says people need to be worried about how they are going to feed their families, not the color of a man's skin.  They make the same claims as Morgan Freeman that if you want to get rid of racism, quit talking about racism.  They dare to say that talking about racism IS racism.
  • The black guys from the deep south that say they do not experience microaggressions, America is not racist systemically, and claim America is a good country.
  • Black Professor Wilfred Reilly argues that hate crime is not an epidemic in the U.S.
    • Leverages his background—a PhD and his teaching position at the historically Black Kentucky State University—to support his perspective.
    • Claims that the "demand" for hate crimes in America far exceeds the actual "supply."
    • Cites government data showing only 7,000 hate crimes annually out of 20 million indexed crimes.
    • Asserts that the media is primarily responsible for creating the perception of a hate crime epidemic.
    • Argues that attention should be directed toward issues like Black-on-Black crime and other forms of violence rather than hate crimes.
    • Points to high-profile cases later debunked as hate crimes, including Jussie Smollett, Duke Lacrosse, and Bubba Wallace.
    • Authored Hate Crime Hoaxes: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War.

(Note: This statement is an inverse of my actual opinions...  As soon as someone starts discussing systemic victimhood, they've lost touch with reality.  The reality that the overwhelming majority of citizens can achieve success in America when they accept their role in making it happen.)

Reilly is a real treasure.

Is it true Matt got someone to pay his black producer reparations during a scene?

Yes.  Robin DiAngelo, the biblical author of White Fragility.

Honestly, the movie didn’t portray Matt as attacking the movement or being a bigot. He was main actor, obviously ingenuine in his role as a white man on a journey.  Matt allowed those featured in the documentary to share their own views.

Ironically, the far-left individuals striving to avoid being racist ended up displaying clear racism themselves. It is almost unbelievable that these are real people.
