It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it's a funny documentary that does a good job at exposing just how ridiculous all these "Anti-Racist" people are and how these people are using movement based on victimhood and lies for profit. The interview with the White Fragility author and the classroom scene towards the end were highlights. Didn't care for the scripted scenes though as found them trying too hard and not needed and did feel like a couple scenes went on too long and could've been edited though. Don't think the people that probably need to see it the most will, but I give it a 7/10.

I heard it is very good and actually very educational without all the tripe that bogs down almost all other presentations. We sure don't need anymore white guilt that's overtaking this country, Obama was President for 8 years. We need to finally get off 'the man is keeping us down bullsh#t. Will see it soon.

I remember not long ago when the White Fragility book was going around, and it was crazy how people were really being taken by it.

Same. The author made an a blog post too admitting she was duped and telling people not to see the movie and redirecting them to the clows over at Southern Poverty Law Center lol

As Matt Taibbi wrote:

White Fragility explained DiAngelo’s formula for white allyship: feel guilty and burst into self-conscious convulsions around people of other races. It turns out using language like “Would you be willing to grant me the opportunity to repair the racism I perpetrated toward you?” isn’t a stimulant for cross-racial conversation, but that wasn’t important in the nearly all-white suburbs where DiAngelo’s book sold best.
