I haven't seen a movie in over 20 years but I want to support their efforts so if it was playing in israel, I would definitely go to see it

I loved What Is A Woman. So whether I go to the theater or wait for it to be available at home, I'm definitely looking forward to this one!


What is a Woman started off with some so- called trolling (I'm not sure it's really trolling. The people he interviewed genuinely believe what they say and would say the same to their patients and students), but then got serious and heartbreaking halfway through.

Am I Racist is pure comedy, exposing the race grifters for what they are. I saw liberals on reddit agreeing that it was better than Borat.

Might go chol hamoed Sukkos if it's still in theaters or will wait for it to play on Daily Wire — I assume one will be able to pay to view at some point.

I really want to see it wondering when it will be available online.
my favorite line from what is a woman is when he asks what is a woman and someone tells him why dont you ask your wife that question and he says "well, I dont know, is my wife a woman? I never asked her."
It's been a while so I may have not gotten that 100% right but you get the gist. love his humor

I saw it today. I will be the voice of dissent and say that I found it underwhelming. Not as good as I thought it would be from the trailer. Unlike “What is a Woman”, the baddies weren’t that bad and the goody (Matt Walsh) was not good enough to make this a decent “fight”.

A lot of his behavior was obnoxious and I was uncomfortable with the trolling of innocents, a lot of whom were friendly and well-meaning, even though grossly misinformed.

He had the opportunity to speak to Robin D’Angelo. I would have much preferred an honest, serious debate rather than the awkward manipulation theatre he put her through, which she frankly handled quite gracefully given the circumstances.

I don’t think this movie will do anything to convince anyone who is not already anti-anti-racist.

There were some really good laughs though, and the Dothework Workshop scene was hilariously absurd.

D'Angelo isn't capable of a serious debate. She's an idiot.

It wasn't meant to convince anyone about anything. It was meant to be comedy.

So it's not just me. I haven't seen it but I've heard some of these points and find them disconcerting.

Right, a debate or a serious conversation would have revealed that and been more effective in my opinion.

It wasn’t meant to be just a comedy. It obviously had a political agenda. But as I said it fell short for me on a comedic level because as I said, a lot of the people being exposed and shamed weren’t presented as being deserving of such harsh treatment, so I found much of it mean, not funny.

I kind of disagree. Maybe a few of them were just caught in the crossfire but most of them were DEI educators, experts, authors etc who absolutely deserved it. They profit and exploit people in the name of fake diversity nonsense. They prey on people's guilt, low self esteem, and stupidity to make a profit and Walsh was exposing them for the frauds and charlatans that they really are.

The lady who wrote white fragility? The lady who runs race to dinner? The lady who ran white grief groups? The lady who sued sesame place because someone ignored her daughter?

There was an element of in general making fun of people like the petition to rename the Washington monument or the joke workshop that Walsh ran but that was highlighting how brainwashed and foolish people have become and I'm not against exposing that. There are hundreds of similar interview on youtube that does the same thing.

I’m super happy for you to disagree and to be in a conversation with you Smile

Yes, you mentioned the characters that were more deserving of being targeted. I get uncomfortable seeing the people who seem sweet enough just ill-informed, such as the bookstore manager or the participants in the first workshop, get taken for a ride and manipulated into appearing in a movie they would not have consented to had they known what it really was.

The well-meaning, misinformed people on the anti-racist side are typically sensitive and emotional in nature. I share those traits, and I feel bad when I think about the huge toll becoming unwillingly famous through a movie such as this is going to have on such types. I don’t think they really deserve it.

I feel bad even for the people who have done terrible things but are clearly weak in character and out of their depth. The black “PhD” student who assaulted the white students in the library for example. Not condoning her actions at all, obviously.

When you see her in the interview she looks so nervous like a little child. When she opens her mouth to talk you can hear how she’s intellectually challenged and doesn’t really know what she’s talking about. I assume she is the product of DEI policies and being told she’s more capable than she is for years. Her actions are reprehensible and her rhetoric is terrible but what can I say, I feel sorry for this kid. I also picked up on mental and emotional instability from her face and voice. I know there has to be a way to call out the crazy anti-racist movement. I just don’t get pleasure out of watching an obviously weak person get torn down more.

I hear you. I don't disagree that some people were just misinformed fools who got trolled. I didn't take particular pleasure in watching that. The bookstore manager actually seemed sweet and I felt bad for her.

I'll be honest, the black PhD student was not a sympathetic character at all. I was very happy to see her taken down. She was dumb, uneducated, hateful, racist, and violent. She deserved it.

The people who attended the support group were probably nice enough people who didn't deserve to be trolled per se but on the other hand, they were all adults who consented to being on video and I also have a suspicion that had they been pressed further, their leftist hateful ideology would have come out in full force. Just like that nasty girl who towards the end was cursing out "racist uncle frank" who was half comatose in a wheelchair.

In general, political commentators like Walsh are not nice people speaking the truth. Very often they are bully types who we give a free pass to because they are "on our side" and can speak well and are entertaining. They serve a purpose. Calling out the hypocrisy, problems, agendas that are destroying our country but most of us are too cowardly to stand up and call out. So we let them do the dirty work for us. It comes at the cost of having bullies as our mouthpiece. It's not ideal but it's reality.

Yes, she was hateful, you’re right. Full of hate. She deserved to be taken down. I still felt sorry for her though. She looked like a bully who bullies because she’s being abused at home.

You made a really interesting point at the end. Food for thought.

I would normally be anti bullying. But don't you think maybe at this point in history there are people that are so vile and disgusting that we should have no sympathy for them?

Do the rampant Hamas supporters deserve our sympathy? Do the people who say gender is fluid and biological men should be allowed in women's bathrooms deserve our sympathy? What about the people that are pro rioting and anti law enforcement?

Yes, these are all liberal and leftist ideals, but we must ostracize these crazies from society. If someone supports Hamas and the slaughter of Jews I refuse to have an ouce of sympathy. Let them be bullied.

And the leftists in this movie are part of the movement that is turning society on its head. Everyone is racist. Cops are bad. Rioting is really just a revolution. These people are a danger to us and I say let the bullies at them.

Sorry, just seeing this.

So who will fight this horrible racist, DEI, and gender insanity? Because it sure as h--l aint the polite ones!
And I've had enough of Conservatives being called out as bullies by the Libs who use any harsh language or criticism to cry foul. Seriously?!
So rather vote for dumb Kamala Harris who will do no good for the country than Donald Trump just because he's a bully? Are we such wimps?

The way the Libs have destroyed society and are educating impressionable minds is a travesty. Like another poster stated above that she felt bad for these misinformed people. Who misinformed them in the first place? They are being fed garbage and sadly their lack of intelligence is causing them to lap it up.

I'll take the bullies any time over these PC polite maniacs who are destroying the world.

Speaking of bullies, Dr. Phil proved that Trump isn’t a bully at the rally at MSG. Worth watching on YouTube .

Also, the speech Tucker Carlson gave at MSG was incredible too.

Matt Walsh might bully leftist woke crazies, but don’t you agree that someone has to stand up to them and call them out? I wish I was as brave as him.
