Drinker's Extra Shots - "Am I Racist?" Review

Of course the critics wouldn't watch the film. To them, it would be career suicide.

[@CorpusGreed]

I think it's more like: no matter what critics say - they lose. 1) You support this movie and give it a high score - "you are a racist, bigot, mesoginist, etc." 2) You go against this movie and give it a low score - your ass will be a laughing stock for the whole internet. (Not the first time, to be fair...) So... Critics as always, with tail between their legs, hide in the shadows.

[@majorlagg9321]

The point of the movie is not that racism doesn't exist and should be mocked. It's that the "anti-racism" movement has nothing to do with fighting racism and actually advances racism. It just changes the targets.

[@stevemalek2970]

The people who "fight racism" need "racism" to exist so that their career can exist.

It moves the target away from right-wing media outlets (like the Daily Wire) and back on to those being marginalized - straight out of the Art of War.

How can you say the film ignores that racism is still alive and well in our society? Almost every single person he interviewed or showcased was a racist.

[@swlc5555]

I agree. I thought his review was on target until he made that remark. I watched the movie, and Walsh's point is that the vast majority of people aren't racists. And with a few exceptions the people he was interviewing are the race hustlers who try to blow it out of proportion and stand to gain financially by doing so.

[@davidgannon5388]

You're very correct on almost everything you say, but I don't think Walsh needed to say anything about the actual racism that exists today. He was aiming at the DEI movement, which itself is racist, anti-opportunity, and anti-merit. One aspect of DEI, "diversity," was described in the film (by one of the actual DEI grifters) as "anything but white." I learned that back in 1993, as I was finishing college. Our student union had added a "diversity wing" that had offices for blacks, Indians, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Arabs, but no whites. That's "diversity" for you, and it always has been.

[@zidan40o0]

"Arabs but not whites" wait until they hear about the ethnicity of Syrians, Jordanians, Lebanese, and Palestinians.

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

That's the thing I always noticed about all that stuff. So people set all these rules about what is and isn't okay, what you can and can't say, what you can and can't think about people of different colors, or races, or creeds. And they were happy with these rules when these rules were making their lives easier, silencing people opposite to them, and giving them opportunities. But then when people opposite of them asked THEM not to say certain things, think certain things, or do certain things, when these rules began to limit them as well, that's when they invented all these excuses -- "paradox of tolerance" this and "power imbalance" that -- to explain why THEY did not have to follow the rules they themselves set. And I think that's when people started to realize the people who set these rules don't actually care about these institutional problems but only cared about profiting off of a broken system.

So you can see, its a gaslighting scam they are running.

I don't understand why people want to be so very divided but mistreating people because of these divisions is racism. I've experienced no racism from my white friends and colleagues. There were some that were ignorant, just because they didn't have the opportunity to travel but they were not racists, they were only unaware of certain things, which we all are. In my 20's I did think they were racists to be ignorant but I later understood that there was no hate or spite or any malice.

Liberal values have been the mainstream of media for at least 20 years if not longer. They have purged any conservative values or thought from Western Media and have made even the most milk-toast of views of the right, extremist. By doing so, they have made it that one must accept what ever liberals say as the truth and the norm that you don't have to think about. The reason this movie is so devastating to them is, due to the fact that they have lived in an echo-chamber for so long. One where even the most insane and poorly thought out ideas are not questioned, merely applauded. So when Walsh comes in, not as an enemy they will just dismiss, but an ally that asks reasonable questions or points out the logical conclusions of their ideas. They don't have an answer for him, because they haven't needed an answer for them in decades. Which makes them look like idiots and frauds instead of the intellectuals they have always seen themselves as.

[@donfisherjr.2404]

"Identifying racism" really has become a cottage industry for grifters who will happily lecture people for a fee.

[@troyh3628]

"Actual racism is still very much a thing." I won't deny that there are racist people, but the grifters are trying to pass the idea that racism as an institution still exists, and it does not. The Civil Rights Act ended that, and anyone can go after whatever job, or house, or car they want. If the person applying suspects racism is the reason for their denial, they can launch a complaint, and the company is obligated by law to investigate. This is the point the movie is trying to make.

[@SnakePit6517]

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I will say mad props to Jeremy Jahns for actually reviewing it. Jeremy is one of the OG KZbin movie critics, and in a time where older KZbin critics have either sold out or caved to the media establishment, *cough Chris Stuckmann cough,* it’s nice to see someone who is a veteran of KZbin go against the grain, despite the potential backlash he may receive. He didn’t even disable the comment section either.

[@SirBlackReeds]

That's not true. There's still plenty of racists on the right: Steve Sailer, Auron MacIntyre, David Duke, Kevin De Anna, Nick Fuentes, John Doyle, Laura Loomer, Pastor Joel Webbon, Lauren Chen, Stew Peters, Jeremy Carl, Candace Owens, Elijah Schaffer, Samuel Jared Taylor, Daryl Cooper, Ron Unz, Gabe Wooley, Tommy Robinson (legal name: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), Lauren Witzke, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Stephen Wolfe, Andrew Torba, Sulaiman Ahmed, Richard Spencer (yes, he's back to his old tricks), Andrew Wilson, Hannah Claire Brimelow, Peter Brimelow, Alex Stein, Joel Davis, James Allsup, Keith Woods, Rebecca Crockett, Nico Kenn De Balinthazy (Sneako), Jesse Lee Peterson, Peter Quiñones, Isabella Maria DeLuca... the list goes on.

You sound a little under the weather in this one. As well as a bit reserved. I have no qualms agreeing that Matt Walsh was absolutely brilliant in trolling these race grifters as ingenuously as he did. The movie has like a 99% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and has received almost nothing but praise in all the reviews I've come across. I proudly endorse this gem of an eye-opener.

[@jameswrobinson]

I saw this at the movie theater with my wife in a theater with people of all colors. We all laughed and had a great time… AND we all chatted after the credits when the lights came on!

@ Close. Some people clapped. Most of us laughed and talked. It was great. Why does an audience enjoying a good movie brother you?

Matt Walsh is one of very few people who is genuinely moving the cultural needle - "What is a woman" really changed the tenor of the debate around an entire topic.

[@donperegrine922]

Yes! The crew under Jeremy Bohring are doing massive cultural impact work. A few years ago it felt really empty when they started talking about it (Andrew Klavan and Benny) but now the work coming out is truly showing...they are serious

Btw, it was my own lack of vision which made those claims sound empty, not their own fault or methods

So you step on someone for a generation and then, once you're far ahead, it's time to be equal. Is that right? But later on, when it comes time to make restitution, it's suddenly racism for restoring the person you stepped on. That's a nice trick to avoid all accountability.
