Robin DiAngelo, author of the infamous book “White Fragility,” was caught off guard when she was convinced to pay reparations to a black producer during an interview for Matt Walsh's upcoming documentary, Am I Racist?.
In the documentary, conservative commentator Matt Walsh goes undercover to explore modern discussions around race. During an interview with DiAngelo, who is known for her work on so-called white privilege and implicit bias, Walsh presented his black producer, Ben, as an opportunity for DiAngelo to engage in a direct discussion about race and reparations.
"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 said to DiAngelo, as reported by the New York Post.
DiAngelo responded, saying, “On behalf of myself and my fellow white people, I apologize — it is not you, it is us. As long as I’m standing, I will do my best to challenge it.”
