Oh my, oh my. Well, I finally watched “Am I Racist.” It’s hard to know what to say. But one thing I can tell you is that the “race hustling” industry in America is alive and well! Not a dang one of these “anti-racist experts” would talk for less than a thousand dollars! And some charged many thousands.
Now, there may have been a sincere young person or two whose job it was to give the customer what he wanted. They may have felt the same way that I do about “white privilege,” but it was their job to sell a book in a bookstore. Or maybe there were a couple of well-meaning people who just didn’t want to be rude. But the hustlers in this film, the people keeping very lucrative race turmoil alive, are shameful.
There is no question that Matt Walsh made these people look as foolish as they deserved to be made to look, but what made me uncomfortable is that the film was just too much “silly.” And silliness is never an effective way to talk about serious issues. On the other hand, wasting time and money listening to people make their living off of making things worse may be the silliest thing of all.
And that’s exactly what we’re doing when we let race-baiting charlatans move into our governmental, economic and educational systems to instruct us that we are racist simply because we are white, and, therefore, it will never change. And that, they say, means that we must remain on a lifelong quest – and spend our hard-earned dollars, of course – to rid ourselves of the “unriddable.”
Think about it. For four years, we have been living in a dystopian world. We can’t afford groceries or gasoline. We have thrown open the gates to murderers, terrorists and rapists from countries all over the world. We are throwing 100s of millions of dollars into a war in Europe (hello, World War III) and essentially ignoring the needs of our closest ally and defender of western civilization in the middle east.
And all the while, absolutely despicable deceivers have been working their way into our children’s classrooms to teach them that hating and fearing one another is their unavoidable fate. If they are White, they are bad people. If they are Black, they are good but incompetent people. If they are Asian, they are undeserving people. If they are Brown, they are DEMOCRAT people!
I have a much better idea. Just don’t tell our toddlers that they should hate, fear or denigrate the toddler sitting next to him because the toddler is White, Black, Asian or Brown. And guess what? If you don’t tell them they should, toddlers never will!! People who think that babies are born racist are morons or childless.
