Am I racist?

Yeah, it's Walsh, and I have to wonder how much is cherry-picked and staged.

Didn’t watch it yet but it depends on how racism is defined these days.
I think it’s perfectly normal to create communities based on your own background. Humans are tribal in nature, only very recently have we seen worldwide travel, migration, mixing of cultures and races, etc. So is it racist for any color/culture to group together and have pride? Apparently not unless you’re white.
I also think it’s normal to establish your own expectations of others based on past experience and observations. If I see a busted car driving slowly by with black folks in hoodies, or white folks that look meth’d out, yes I’m gonna be concerned.
But racism? Too lazy for the hard stuff. I love my neighbor and wish everyone success, regardless of melanin level.

He's pretty unlikely to produce a movie featuring the type of normal people who frequently vote Democrat and aren't completely obsessed with this bullshit.
Would Michael Moore make a move showing conservatives just sitting back having a nice Sunday afternoon with their folks?
Obviously, the reason for the movie isn't to ask the question that's in the title. It's to show how awful the other side is. If you know the answer before you ask the question, it's not an experiment.

Bias, much?

Sure I'm biased, and obviously I haven't seen the movie, but I'm a firm believer in predicting that the future tends to be a continuation of the past. Based on past behavior I think it would be fair to say that I'm not nearly as biased or extreme in my views as either Mr. Moore or Mr. Walsh. I'd be happy to review any evidence that would refute that claim.

Wait, I just saw the trailer all the way through. Was that Robin Diangelo at the end? Okay, I will go to the theaters for this one, and it will not be a bleak day at all!

Each to their own, I guess. I must admit I don't find her particularly sexy.

Oh, she’s the exact opposite of sexy. A real horror show.
