‘White Fragility’ author Robin DiAngelo gets tricked into paying reparations to Matt Walsh’s producer in ‘Am I Racist?’ documentary

“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo was hoodwinked into dipping into her own pocketbook to pay reparations to a black producer in podcaster Matt Walsh’s upcoming documentary “Am I Racist?”

An undercover, man-bun-wearing Walsh, 38, goaded DiAngelo into ponying up cash to his producer named Ben to compensate for the sins of the past by first coughing up the money himself.

Walsh, who had been conducting an interview with DiAngelo for a documentary project while feigning anti-racist sentiments and posing as an activist,***

“This is Ben, a producer on the film. I thought it would be a powerful opportunity to speak directly to a person of color and confront our racism and also, apologize for the white supremacist systems that oppress Ben,” Walsh began.

DiAngelo, 68, followed suit saying, “On behalf of myself and my fellow white people, I apologize — it is not you, it is us. As long as I’m standing, I will do my best to challenge it.”

Walsh then announced that he’d pay Ben reparations if he’d accept it, prompting his producer to quip, “I mean I won’t turn it down.” Walsh then handed Ben a few bills from his wallet.

“That doesn’t make up for 400 years of oppression, but it’s all that I have to give,” Walsh said.

***

DiAngelo looked introspective and bewildered as that unfolded.

“That was really weird,” a perplexed and nearly speechless DiAngelo gasped before formulating a response after Walsh asked, “Did you wanna pay any—?”

*** “I think reparations is like a systemic dynamic and approach,” she added. “I mean I think there may be some people who would be offended by [that].”

***

After getting Ben’s blessing, DiAngelo then walked over to her pocketbook, pulled out roughly $30, and told him, “That’s all the cash I have.”

She is worth $300million, and only has $30 on hand to pay the oppressed brother?

She didn't mean SHE should pay. She wants OTHER people to pay.

Some people don’t like Ben Shapiro. Yeah yeah yeah, but Daily Wire spends a lot of money and effort trying to break the left wing media monopoly. This is their first theatrical release, “Am I a racist.” Everyone should go see it. Premieres Thursday and I have my tickets

I don’t think that term is right. Besides, no black person is stupid enough or vain enough to do what she does.

I remember when “Team America” influenced the Bush-Kerry race.

Her book subtitle is “Why it is so hard for white people to talk about racism.”

Well, Robbie, it is because it is boring, nonessential, useless, and racist to be obsessed with the color of one’s skin.

What a maroon...

I paid reparations to a black guy once.

Actually it wasn’t reparations so much as he held me up.

A bunch of liberals need to pay reparations that way so they can become conservatives.

That's always the way of the Left.

The Daily Wire has given a platform to a bunch of thoughtful intelligent people who are thinking deeply about the problems we have and how to solve them.

And they are trying to create a stream that pushes back against the culture of nothingness that is being shoved on us.

I saw a sneak preview of a scene from this movie. It was hilarious.

no one speaks for me, so the “on the behalf of all white people I apologize” is all you
