I'm white. I grew up in a very white state, with an adopted black brother. We adopted him when I was 5. He was 2.
The stuff in Am I Racist has been taken to an extreme since the 80's when I grew up. But, it's not new. I witnessed white people falling all over themselves to "prove" they aren't racist for the entirety of my youth. It had a really bad effect on my brother. There were also a few a$$holes, but very few.
Great review. I grew up in NY in the 1980s. It was a given amongst everyone that race did not matter, that anyone preoccupied with the absurd racial battles of the past was a little weird. All this manufactured "systemic racism" bullshit was brought to us by The Great Divider Barry Hussein Soetoro. The statistics provided about the prevalence of the words "racist" and "racism" in our Democrat Legacy Media are proof positive that the Ruling Class has found a great tool for manufacturing differences and hate where those things do not exist organically.
As for Robin DiAngelo, I think the writer is being too kind to her. She makes millions off her racist hustle. I read her book because as a University of Chicago alumnus, I believe in reading original sources. It astonishes me that her gibberish sold more than 50 copies worldwide.
It was nothing but the circular logic every cult cultivates. For example: When the middle-aged professional engineer is forced by his company's upper management to sit through this awful woman's nonsense, he is annoyed. His bosses who have paid this woman more than his annual salary for 4 hours of her "valuable" time are not enduring her crap. To Robin, this man's annoyance is not because he is a grown man subjected to bullshit on company time, but is proof positive that he is "really" racist. No, Robin, he's really, genuinely offended by your calling him racist merely because of his skin tone AND because you're wasting his valuable time.
I have not seen Matt's film because I already agree with him about this hustle. I have written in the past about this truly evil racist Saira Rao and was kicked off Twitter for calling her out years ago. Here is my piece about her from November 2022:
