FILM REVIEW: ‘Am I Racist?’
American Thinker ^ | 09/13/2024 | Andrea Widburg

Last week, I gave high praise to Reagan, the new movie looking at the life of America’s greatest Cold Warrior. It was a heartfelt, meticulous look at Reagan’s fundamental decency and love for America. Today, I’m giving high praise to Matt Walsh’s Am I Racist?, a new movie looking at the race hustling industry. It is a hysterically funny, pointed, and appropriately vicious look at people, both black and white, who deliberately promote racial discord for power and huge profits.

The movie’s premise is a simple one: Matt Walsh embarks upon a journey to discover whether he is a racist and, if he is, how to defeat that inherent racism and then pass on the knowledge he acquires. Along the way, Walsh attends seminars, interviews people knowledgeable about America’s alleged racism, has an elaborate Jussie Smollett fantasy, gets Robin DiAngelo to dig into her purse to offer private reparations (she seems to prefer reparations coming from taxpayers), and reveals the views of ordinary Americans of all colors who aren’t immersed in self-loathing or the long racial con.

The trailer, which has been playing for weeks, gives you a good idea about the movie’s basic premise:

I must admit that having watched the trailer, I was a little concerned that the movie would offer no real surprises. After all, we’ve all seen trailers that gather the best bits of a mediocre movie so that you walk out of the theater regretting the money you spent. I shouldn’t have worried.

The movie runs for an hour and forty minutes, and every one of those minutes is a delightful surprise. I don’t recall any comedy I’ve seen recently—heck, any comedy I’ve seen in years—that made me laugh so hard.

Not long ago some leftie on TV was complaining about a project—I think it was a film crew—in which there were “too many white guys named Mike.” Therefore, Mike must be a racist name.

Oh, for heavens' sake.

I'll have to add crossword puzzles to my list of racist things.

The Hidden Bigotry of Crosswords
The popular puzzles are largely written and edited by older white men, who dictate what makes it into the grid—and what is kept out.

For those of you who know Walsh through his podcast, where he opines about the issues of the day, or even from What Is A Woman?, you'll see a comedic side of him that you never imagined existed.

Matt is extremely funny on his show. He has a dust dry wit that allows him to say the most outrageous things.
