The Post Millennial Reports: Anti-racist educator and author Robin DiAngelo, who wrote the much-maligned (on the right), much-praised (on the left) book White Fragility about how all white people are racist, has spoken out after she was unwittingly featured in Matt Walsh and The Daily Wire's first cinematic release, Am I Racist. She says she was essentially duped, felt uneasy about the interview as it went on, claims she could see that Walsh was wearing and "ill-fitting wig," and that from now on she'd be way more careful about who she would speak to when requests were made—even Walsh's well-funded one, at $15,000.

"Back in 2023," her lenghty post begins, "I was contacted by a group who claimed to be making a documentary film called Shades of Justice, about efforts to address racism in the United States. They planned to interview anti-racist activists, authors and thought leaders in service of supporting the cause of racial equity. They offered me between $10-20,000 for an interview. I said let’s meet in the middle with $15,000 and agreed to participate." She notes that, since becoming aware of the circumstances, she has "since donated that sum to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund."

"When I arrived for the interview, a few things felt off," she notes, though she appeared perfectly comfortable on camera. "The grips would not make eye contact with me," she claimed, "and the interviewer, who was introduced as 'Matt,' appeared to be wearing an ill-fitting wig. Matt presented himself as someone new to antiracist work and seemed earnest, and his questions did not come across as adversarial. By the end, however, things got weird."

She then writes about the key moment in the film where she was convinced by Walsh to pay cash reparations to his producer, Ben, who is black. DiAngelo admits her white privilege and takes bills out of her wallet, handing them to Ben. The moment in the film made her look foolish.
