For the first time in a long time, my movie theater was filled with uncontrolled laughter.
No, I didn’t go to see the latest brain-dead comedy starring Kevin Hart or whoever. This was a documentary from The Daily Wire.
Matt Walsh’s Am I Racist? could have been appropriately titled What is a Racist? due to the fact that it is most certainly a spiritual sequel to the prior documentary, What is a Woman?
But unlike What is a Woman? (which was not void of laughter by any means), this new movie could be viewed as a straight-up comedy. Many of the race hustlers interviewed in this movie, a few of whom have fled social media since the movie’s premiere, had such over the top anti-white rhetoric that to the average, uninitiated American it would appear as parody.
Take this clip about Disney princesses as an example:
Sadly, the movie is far from parody, because we live in clown world where people actually believe these crazy things.
So, how does Matt Walsh take a topic as serious as the institutionalized anti-white racism of Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo … and make it funny?
Well, he just had to go online, get his own “DEI Certificate” (which he keeps in his back pocket at all times and flashes frequently throughout the movie), put on skinny jeans, wear a wig, and get a new pair of glasses.
How NO ONE recognized him when all he did was put on a wig, I’ll never understand.
I won’t give any spoilers here because I think you should invite all your anti-woke friends and enjoy the laughs for yourself.
The movie builds as you go. It starts out with a few chuckles, some mind-bending intros to the subject, and a very awkward anti-racism roundtable that will have you squirming worse than any episode of The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm.
If you can withstand the cringe, which is itself hilarious but also painful, the movie continues to get funnier.
The highlights of the movie are the “on the street” interviews, including getting approximately half of DC to sign a petition to rename the George Washington monument the George Floyd monument.
The Jussie Smollett interlude is also Oscar-worthy in and of itself. But I will not spoil it here.
