“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo is tricked into paying compensation to Matt Walsh’s producer in the documentary “Am I a Racist?”


“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo is tricked into paying compensation to Matt Walsh’s producer in the documentary “Am I a Racist?”

White Fragility author Robin DiAngelo was duped into reaching into her own pocket to pay restitution to a black producer in podcaster Matt Walsh’s upcoming documentary Am I Racist?

The undercover agent, 38-year-old Walsh with the man bun, goaded DiAngelo into giving his producer Ben cash to atone for the sins of the past by putting the money on the table himself first.

Walsh had interviewed DiAngelo for a documentary film project, feigning anti-racist views and posing as an activist. After answering most of his questions, he called Ben over.

“This is Ben, a producer on the film. I thought it would be a great opportunity to speak directly to a person of color, to address our racism and also to apologize for the white supremacist systems that oppress Ben,” Walsh began.

DiAngelo, 68, followed suit, saying: “On behalf of my own white fellow citizens, I apologize – it’s not you, it’s us. As long as I’m in office, I’ll do my best to fight this.”

Walsh then announced that he would pay Ben restitution if he accepted the offer, to which his producer quipped, “I mean, I’m not going to turn it down.” Walsh then gave Ben a few bills from his wallet.

“It doesn’t make up for 400 years of oppression, but it’s all I have to give,” Walsh said.

Ben, fully in on the trap, took the new cash in his wallet and stated that he didn’t know “if it will ever be enough,” but praised Walsh for “his work” and acknowledged the “small progress I think we’ve made today.”

DiAngelo looked thoughtful and confused as this unfolded.

“That was really weird,” gasped a stunned and almost speechless DiAngelo before formulating a response after Walsh asked, “Did you want to pay something—?”

“I think reparations is a systemic dynamic and approach,” she added. “I mean, I think there might be some people who would be offended by that.”

Ben explained that he would “not turn down money.” A serious-looking Walsh then stressed that we are allowed to “be uncomfortable.” He emphasized, “This is something I can do now,” and asked, “Why shouldn’t I?”

“I’m sure I can get some cash,” she conceded, after trying to refute Walsh and Ben’s logic. “I don’t mind if that’s something that’s convenient for you.”

After receiving Ben’s blessing, DiAngelo went to her wallet, pulled out about $30 and told him, “This is all the cash I have.”

“Thank you,” replied a smiling Ben.

When DiAngelo sat down with Walsh at the beginning of the documentary, she asked him for a brief introduction to who he was, noting that she “had to be careful.”

DiAngelo’s book “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism” hit bookstores in 2018 and helped her gain notoriety as a so-called expert in anti-bias training.

The New York Times bestseller contains some controversial assessments on the subject of racism. She claimed, “White people who grow up in Western society are conditioned into a worldview of white supremacy because it is the foundation of our society and its institutions.”

Elsewhere in her book, she wrote: “People of color may also harbor prejudices and discriminate against whites, but they lack the social and institutional power to transform their prejudices and discrimination into racism; the effects of their prejudices on whites are temporary and context-dependent.”

Ironically, in 2021, DiAngelo received a fee of $12,750 at the University of Wisconsin’s Diversity Forum, significantly more than the $7,500 received by the forum’s black keynote speaker, Austin Channing Brown.

More recently, DiAngelo was accused of plagiarizing passages from minority scholars in her doctoral thesis, according to a complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Post has reached out to DiAngelo for comment.

Walsh’s documentary is set to hit theaters on September 13 and is the first Daily Wire film to be released in theaters.

The film aims to deconstruct the anti-racism movement, similar to how his 2022 documentary “What Is a Woman?” critically examined gender ideology.

He went undercover, pretending to look deep within himself to investigate the movement. In Walsh’s documentary, he also appeared at an expensive Race2Dinner, where he persuaded liberal white women at the table to raise their glasses and toast “racism.”
