「白人の脆弱性」の著者が、ポッドキャスターのマット・ウォルシュに恥ずかしい賠償金のスタントで「利用された」ことについて沈黙を破る

『ホワイト・フラジリティ』の著者ロン・ディアンジェロは、マット・ウォルシュの新しい反DEI映画の恥ずかしいいたずらに引っかかった後、沈黙を破った。

ディアンジェロは、「Am I Racist?」のシーンで、右翼ポッドキャスターの黒人プロデューサーに賠償金を支払うよう騙された。このシーンは、白人左派が反人種差別活動に注力していることを嘲笑しているように見える。

進歩主義的な著者はウォルシュを非難した。 長いブログ投稿彼女はこの映画を「ボラット風のモキュメンタリー」と呼び、「合わないかつら」をかぶったウォルシュに出会ったとき「何かがおかしい」と感じたと語った。

彼女は、このプロジェクトは反人種差別主義の教育者や活動家を辱め、信用を失墜させるために設計されたものであり、参加料として1万5000ドルを受け取った後、参加したことを後悔していると述べた。

ディアンジェロ氏は次のように書いている。「2023年に、米国における人種差別に取り組む取り組みについて『Shades of Justice』というドキュメンタリー映画を制作していると主張する団体から連絡があった…」

彼女は、このプロジェクトは反人種差別主義の教育者や活動家を辱め、信用を失墜させるために設計されたものであり、参加料として1万5000ドルを受け取った後、参加したことを後悔していると述べた。

「彼らは私に10ドルから [-20,000 for an interview. I said let’s meet in the middle with $15,000 and agreed to participate (I have since donated that sum to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund).’

She added: ‘After reviewing the sequence of events and discussing it with colleagues, I realized that they had lied about their agenda and I had been played.’

The author became a household name with her book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

The author claimed everything seemed normal until ‘things got weird’ when Walsh told her that if she supported reparations for black Americans, then she should give his black producer cash on the spot.

During the scene, DiAngelo obliged, without irony, saying: ‘On behalf of myself and my fellow white people, I apologize.’

She seemed wary at first, calling a personal payout for slavery ‘really weird’ but eventually joined in.

DiAngelo said she could ‘get some cash for sure,’ before crossing the room and taking $30 from her designer purse and handing it to Ben.

‘The way Matt set this up felt intended to put Ben and I on the spot. Because Matt was pushing this on us, I expressed my discomfort and checked in with Ben, to be sure he was okay with receiving cash in this way. Ben reassured me that he was, so I went to my wallet and handed him my cash and the interview ended,’ DiAngelo wrote.

DiAngelo claimed she was left ‘unsettled’ by the scene and asked a producer that it not be used because ‘this scene was not an example of reparations and could mislead viewers.’

The progressive author slammed Walsh in a lengthy blog post , calling the movie a ‘Borat-style mockumentary’

For his new documentary, Walsh went undercover as a rookie DEI consultant with a herringbone jacket and a man bun

The author became a household name with her best-selling book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism.

Walsh took to X to respond to DiAngelo’s statement, thanking her for her words. 

The pundit wrote: ‘Robin DiAngelo has issued a statement denouncing our film. She claims that the movie is “designed to humiliate and discredit anti-racist educators and activists.” 

‘She couldn’t be more correct in that assessment. Thank you, Robin!’

The film’s scene featuring DiAngelo lasts a nine toe-curling minutes as Walsh escorts DiAngelo through a series of increasingly preposterous scenarios in the name of vanquishing racism.

Through a role-play, DiAngelo is made to grovel for the sin of ‘over-smiling’ at a minority co-worker in an office corridor. 

Am I Racist is produced by The Daily Wire and will be released in theaters Friday, September 13.

The film pours scorn on the massive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) industry that ballooned after the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, in Minneapolis in 2020.
