matt walsh documentary

 this afternoon i went to see the matt walsh documentary, called 'am i racist?' this was in inver grove heights. when i said to the ticket seller i wanted to see the documentary, i found out there was two, the other being about mr. trump. i did see a trailer before attending this screening so i would be aware of what i was in for. simply put, this movie attempted to show DEI at its worst, where people are just trying to be profiteers. at times while watching i was getting annoyed with how mr. walsh was trying too hard to make a point, for lack of a better term, with hyperbole. i did like the statements made by interviewees in a biker bar, along with a shop owner that was an immigrant, both of these in the south. it led to the best point being made my walsh, how the claim of racism is kept alive by those who sell the idea of it as a disease that has no cure in order to profit from it. this was also evident with those interviewed and how high the fee was for the interview. it does remind me of being at an ACLU event many years ago, and i spoke with a man who claimed racism was still prevalent in america, and i pointed out how obama was president, and the man said that wasn't enough. same man claimed to commit relentless honking at the office of a republican politician, and claiming to get away with it, although i don't see how as this would be disturbing the peace. and this is kin to another documentary i saw a few years back, 'no safe spaces', where there is too much labeling and name calling in politics, liberals trying to outlaw the opposition. in both cases, it was sadly all too familiar, either from being at the comedy clubs or at college in iowa city. i am still thankful i saw it, although i would have liked seeing more about DEI programs in corporate america, as that would be familiar to many. i was pleased with the other things i got done before the movie. i went to the post office, picked up two amazon orders. went to target to get undies as well as two more boxes of halloween cereal, now up to eleven. then baseball socks at jc penney, then snacks at a place called grab and go, same mall as jc penney, in roseville. got a bart simpson keychain that will be a christmas tree ornament, and the snack items were some lay's chips and a bottle of starbucks milk. both snack items had asian characters on them, not sure what nation they were from although an item i didn't buy there said it was korean barbecue. i know i paid more for these snack items because they were imported. then it was on to jersey mike's for a sandwich, and then the movie. didn't do much after the movie, there was getting groceries at aldi, the evening meal, and baseball on fox. orioles beat the twins, 9-2. during my walks i found 38 cents.
