Narrator: Kirk was later killed in a school shooting by a white Utah resident, Kirk had frequently called similar deaths "acceptable sacrifices" for his most valued beliefs.
lol, if only the government didn’t give them voting rights, it wouldn’t have had to flood the streets with harmful drugs and also make those drugs illegal. MLK should have thought about this before asking for basic human rights!
Cripes, this fuckin’ guy. I wish somebody would just take . . . *checks earpiece*
. . . In other news,
Hey, leave the guy alone. It's been over four months since he said anything racist.
What ever happened Chazzy Clerk? I've not heard from him in ages, which I'm not complaining about because he is a bit of a pain in the neck...
He finally leaned left.
Really? Wow, did he bust a blood vessel whilst doing it?
Yeah, he really stuck his neck out too far.
It's not like the ramping up of the already criminalization of black life might have been partially to find a new way to exploit an underclass.
And here I was thinking I never had to read this garbage again. It's quite difficult to maintain a decent slice of internet these days isn't it?
Yes I'm sure the racist over-policing was due to MLK giving orders from beyond the grave rather than racists doinh racist things. (/s)
Absolute garbage human
He's absent on all current issues as well.
Their tweets get kinda boring once they are 6 feet under. We could do with more boring tweets.
I didn't know there was such a thing as a dead Charlie Kirk tree, but I do like the shade.
Curious.
Was that intentionally a dog whistle to the imagery of Strange Fruit, or did he do that on accident?
Probably both just a bible reference: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A15-20&version=NKJV
I’m not sure Charlie Kirk was subtle enough to use a dog whistle. He laid everything out in the open, then his fans made excuses for the racist shit he said.
I doubt he listened Billie Holiday.
He sure doesn’t lately.
as much as I hate him, he's not blaming MLK Jr, he's blaming the DEIFICATION of MLK Jr.
He's probably still wrong, because it's fucking kirk, but be mad at the correct thing
That's a rhetorical game so he can disparage MLK's ideas and then say, "I didn't say I hate MLK."
fair
That’s not any different? When was the “deification” of MLK exactly? Is there a set year that happened we could look at to prove his shitty points? No, he’s just called it something vague so he can make shit up and no one can verify if he’s incorrect? Crazy.
Let me put my hazmat suit on and try to steel man Kirk's comment. Can't stress enough that this is not an endorsement of the guy.
Deification is a slow gradual process that happens in the culture so of course it can't be pinpointed. The way people quote just the "I have a dream" stuff but not the criticisms of capitalism or other more "extreme" views of MLK sort of point to a legendary development where people don't actually celebrate the real man. This is used by the ruling class (they likely helped it happen too) to prevent any meaningful change (especially considering what they did to MLK) and just apply a veneer of progress while still oppressing and sowing division in the population.
thanks for the support

Maybe in this instance but don't get confused, Kirk has said many times MLK is a bad person and what he did was terrible. There's tons more if you just go looking but just for starters he said:
"MLK was awful. OK? He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe. Go research MLK, you should go research him."
When asked if it was true that when he was younger, he used to describe MLK as a hero and a civil rights icon, he responded simply:
"That's true, and I used to be wrong."
Regarding the Civil Rights Act that MLK famously pushed so hard for:
"We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s."
Again this is just a bit. Go digging and you'll find much much more.

makes sense, Kirk was a POS and is looking up at us from hell right now. Good riddance.
Not the bombing of their neighborhoods and black wall street?
Maybe when you prevent an entire group of people from participating in commerce and economic gain their only alternative are handouts?
Charlie Kirk? I only know Tyler Robinson
