“He didn’t say ‘black women are stupid’, he said ‘There’d be no successful black women w/out DEI because they don’t have the brain power to achieve anything legitimately’. See? Get it right!”

  2. Every time. Without fail. The context has made it worse. Honestly it’s amazing.

  3. Most of what’s being posted here is just lazy. People aren’t quoting Kirk, they’re paraphrasing him through their own bias, and then others skim it and treat it like fact. That’s how you get “he said Black women are stupid” when he didn’t. What he actually did was name specific individuals and argue that DEI played a role in their success. You can disagree with that, but it’s not the same as saying no Black woman could ever succeed.

    The real issue is how DEI changes the perception of merit. When you shift the criteria based on race or gender, it creates the idea that success isn’t earned, it’s handed out. That’s what Kirk was criticizing. It wasn’t hate speech, it was a critique of the system. If you’re going to call someone hateful, quote them properly. Otherwise you’re just recycling outrage.

    He just couldn’t squeeze it down to 14 words

  5. “we would have said three weeks ago that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us! They’re coming out and they’re saying, “I’m only here because of affirmative action.”.

    We know. We know. It’s very obvious to us you are not smart enough to be able to get it on your own. “I could not make it on my own, so I needed to take opportunities from someone more deserving.”

    He was speaking about certain women, not black women in general. He’s stating that they were affirmative action hires who couldn’t have made it otherwise because they’re dumb, which is an asshole thing to say, but he is not implying that all black women would be the same. That’s something that a person could infer, but he makes no explicit claim as such.

    I don’t agree with a damn thing Charlie Kirk says here, but this really is taken out of context. The truth is important, and Charlie said enough things that were nasty that you can make a point without making them seem worse than they are.

  6. When you cuck for an influencer who peddled the same rhetoric as someone like Anders Breivik, you lost the plot.

  8. “He didn’t say the Civil Rights Act was a mistake!”

    “He said it was a mistake that lead to DEI and was an attack on the freedom of association!”

  9. It’s even worse, at least in the *in context* video directly from his podcast I saw. He said those black women (Michelle Obama, joy Reid etc) *said* they don’t possess the brain processing power to compete with white men, he went on for minutes how those were their words.

    Yes, I watched the video. I have it all in *context*. He was arguing that’s what *they* thought. Which of course was just what he wanted to say and not something they have ever uttered in their lives.

  11. The “context” is always the shit Charlie says after to try to normalize extremist rhetoric. He’ll start by calling for a return to Jim Crow laws and then the “context” is just him talking about how black crime rates used to be lower or some cherrypicked bullshit like that.

    His supporters eat that shit up and use it as the “context” to justify why what he’s saying “isn’t really that bad”. As if higher crime rates justifies returning to one of the worst and most racist policies in American history.

  12. If you say some quote is taken out of context, then you should post the context that changes the meaning.

  13. This MF made a career of baiting students and clipping them for maximum pwnership in his content… so in a sense we are honouring his craft by not providing full context.

  15. Everytime someone has said “you took that quote out of context” all I say to them is “My bad, what’s the context?” then it’s crickets or they tell me and it’s actually worse
