MLK and Kirk can’t both speak truth. They literally contradict one another. Kirk literally hated MLK, his movement, and the Civil Rights Act. MLK pushed for the advancement of civil rights and equality. Kirk said that was a bad thing. He is no hero.

Also can we just say that being assassinated because people think you’re inherently inferior for being a certain race and dying after being a contentious podcaster are two completely different things

So we’re not going to talk about putting Charlie Kirk at the same rank as Jesus? I don’t think anyone’s up there including MLK (he’s top tier though) but Charlie Kirk. Yall are going to get judged hard for that one.

Charlie disagreed with the open ended nature of the language of the civil rights act, not the premise. It’s important to know one’s opinions before criticizing them

Ok genuine question here: what exactly is the “open ended” nature of the Civil Rights act 😭

Sure np it’s a good question. He argued the language allows the government too much intervention into how private businesses operate (Charlie was against most gov intervention in general, a conservative/libertarian philosophy). In reference to endedness, it allows the government to create and continuously expand “protected classes” which led to modern day DEI practices he argued were racially divisive like affirmative action.

Also Title II and Title VII were worded as such to prevent discrimination in the workplace but left room for diversity quotas and identity-based preferences to still be enacted in the name of equality while, in his opinion, being further discriminatory by creating racial preferences
