Social media had a field day with a newly released clip of Daily Wire documentary “Am I Racist?” featuring “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo opting to pay Matt Walsh’s black producer $30 in racial reparations.
On the heels of “What is a Woman?”, “Am I Racist?” is Walsh’s latest documentary, which explores the massive grift of the DEI industry with a man-bun-wearing, undercover Walsh.
“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 tells his producer, before doling out cash from his wallet as a form of racial reparations. After DiAngelo calls the moment “weird,” she’s unable to combat her own ideology presented to her by Walsh, hustles over to her wallet and gives the producer the cash she has on hand, $30.
The astonishing moment, first reported by the New York Post, racked up millions of views in the matter of hours, and plenty of reaction.

“I can neither confirm nor deny that I persuaded Robin DiAngelo to pay reparations to my black producer on camera,” Walsh responded. “You will have to watch the film and see for yourself. And trust me: you’re going to want to see this for yourself. Get your tickets here: AmIRacist.com.”

Walsh’s producer had fun with the moment, too. “So grateful that [Matt Walsh] did the work and got me [paid]!” he wrote. “One black man down 13 million to go. To do your part and contribute to Matt’s reparation fund go to amiracist.com and buy a ticket.”

Washington Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium reacted with a reference to DiAngelo being accused of plagiarizing non-white authors, or “POC” authors.
“Robin DiAngelo has not apologized or taken responsibility for her plagiarism of POC authors,” he wrote. “She has, however, paid $30 in reparations to a Black man. And that is one small step toward justice, healing, and accountability.”

Podcast host Tim Poole succinctly reacted, “Hahahaha Holy f***.”
It was also enough for Manhattan Institute fellow and author Leor Sapir to decide to see the film:

“I think that whitey, Robin DiAngelo, should donate every damned cent of her royalties to reparations,” Jordan Peterson wrote. “Put your money where your mouth is, you bloody leftist hypocrite.”
“Monetizing racist division while sanctimoniously moralizing: The worst kind of Pharisee,” he added.

Another X account highlighted that the clip was released on DiAngelo’s birthday. “She must be having quite a birthday,” the post read.
