Well, well, well, looks like Robin DiAngelo is trying to backpedal out of her latest “oops” moment with the subtlety of a dump truck in a nitroglycerin factory. You almost have to laugh. Here we have the queen of anti-racism education—author of White Fragility herself—claiming she was duped into doing a Borat-style mockumentary by none other than Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. Honestly, the fact that she fell for it is comedy gold.
So, according to DiAngelo, she showed up for the interview, noticed the grips avoiding eye contact, and even thought Walsh’s wig looked a little… off. Red flags galore, but did that stop her from sitting down for the interview? Nope. She plopped herself right down and, within a few minutes, Walsh managed to convince her to fork over $30 in “reparations” to his Black producer, Ben. Yep, that happened. She actually pulled out her purse and handed over the cash, like some bizarre anti-racism infomercial gone wrong.
In her defense (if you want to call it that), DiAngelo says she “checked in with Ben” to make sure he was okay with receiving the money. And sure, Ben wasn’t about to say no to free cash. But let’s not pretend this wasn’t one of the most awkward moments in film history. The whole thing feels like a bad skit from Saturday Night Live.
And now DiAngelo is crying foul, saying she was “played” and didn’t realize the interview wasn’t for a documentary titled Shades of Justice. Oh no, honey—it’s called Am I Racist?, and let’s just say it’s not exactly a glowing endorsement of her life’s work. Matt Walsh, with his man bun and wig, had her believing this was a genuine opportunity to showcase her anti-racism beliefs. Instead, she walked right into what’s shaping up to be the roast of the year.
Naturally, DiAngelo isn’t planning to watch the film (and who could blame her?). But the real kicker? She took $15,000 for the interview, which she claims she donated to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Sure, Robin, but did you include that $30 reparations payment to Ben in the donation? We’re dying to know!
I can neither confirm nor deny that I persuaded Robin DiAngelo to pay reparations to my black producer on camera. You will have to watch the film and see for yourself. And trust me: you’re going to want to see this for yourself. Get your tickets here: https://t.co/iJv1cNRoWV https://t.co/JloTOLLuTp

Meanwhile, Walsh is having the time of his life with this whole thing, gleefully poking fun at her for noticing his “ill-fitting wig” but still going along with the interview. His response on X (formerly Twitter) was downright savage. “My favorite part of this wonderful statement,” Walsh wrote, “is that she says she noticed my ‘ill-fitting wig’ when she first sat down with me. And yet for some reason, she still did the interview.” Talk about a mic drop.
This is a shame. I was hoping she’d stay here so we could celebrate the release of our film together tomorrow. She’s really the star of the movie. She should be proud of her performance. https://t.co/K9CBMwFu2D

And it’s not just DiAngelo feeling the heat. Several other DEI “experts” featured in the film—who, mind you, built entire careers on lecturing people about how racist they are—have mysteriously vanished from social media.
Dr. Katie Slater, “anti-oppression consultant,” said, “This piece of s*** film comes out on Friday,” she wrote in the post, “and if you’re wondering why I’ve been off the radar, it’s because I have an inbox full of angry white men who are incensed that I don’t let my daughter dress as Moana for Halloween.”
Riley Gaines, another thorn in the woke agenda’s side, even pointed out how some of these activists have gone radio silent just days before the film hits theaters. Coincidence? Highly doubtful.
“As always, sunlight is the best disinfectant,” she wrote.
Look, at the end of the day, Walsh has pulled off a Borat-style coup on the anti-racism industrial complex, and DiAngelo walked right into it. And while she’s busy writing long, self-reflective notes on her website about being “deceived,” the rest of us can watch this comedy gold and outrageous behavior out on the big screen now.
Matt Walsh’s new movie is out in theaters. Go watch him wreck the entire DEI movement – and enjoy the fact that he’s already pushed the world’s biggest DEI grifter, Robin DiAngelo, into spasms of angst.
