Conservative Daily Wire host Matt Walsh tricked White Fragility author Robin DiAngelo into paying “reparations” to his producer in a scene from his upcoming movie Am I Racist?
In the scene from the upcoming movie, which was revealed by the New York Post, an undercover and disguised Walsh interviews DiAngelo about racism before introducing his producer Ben.
“This is Ben, a producer on the film. I thought it would be a powerful opportunity to speak directly to a person of color and confront our racism and also, apologize for the white supremacist systems that oppress Ben,” Walsh reportedly tells DiAngelo, prompting the author to apologize to Ben “on behalf of myself and my fellow white people.”
After Walsh then handed his producer a handful of bills as “reparations” for “400 years of oppression,” he asked DiAngelo if she would also be interested in paying reparations to Ben.
While initially reluctant, after repeated encouragement from Walsh, DiAngelo reportedly fetched $30 from her wallet and handed it to the Daily Wire producer.
“That’s all the cash I have,” she told the producer, as he thanked her for the contribution.
Walsh took his Borat-esque disguise around the country for his upcoming movie, interviewing a number of anti-racism speakers, and even making an appearance at last month’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Walsh took a similar approach with his last movie, What is a Woman? with several interviewees telling NBC News they were tricked into participating.
