You should read his statements regarding black pilots, doctors etc.

If I never see Charlie Kirk mentioned again it will be too soon, but I'm okay with this.

There's one with an all black flight crew. Imagine him getting on that plane.

I don't understand the connection - sounds like some far lefty brain fart.

A racist thread!

There wouldn't be a thread with Charlie Kirk mentioned that isn't racist.

 

[roberthughey]

Of course.

It's "your" racism!

And your point is? Was Kirk questioning their ability to stand unassisted for a photo op or something?

Where Charlie Kirk Stood on Key Political Issues

Here are some of the activist’s stances on climate change, immigration, gun control and other issues.

...His repudiation of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, known as D.E.I., stretched to comments many denounced as racist. In 2024, he said, “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’”...

It is.

This is where they are, now.

It is.

I only have a vague idea who this guy was. To further the discussion, some links to the topic would be most appreciated.

I would like to think that this crew would be above it all and less vindictive than the felon.

Everything sounds like that to you. Duly noted. Proper consideration given.

 

[Hari Seldon]

It's "your" racism!

Sure it is.

Probably.

That's the consequence of racial prefence over merit in DEI programs. It's not just Charlie Kirk, or white people in general who question the wisdom of DEI policies.

Looks as if this reflects your opinion re affirmative action.

This is your opinion re affirmative action.

Back to Kirk's racism:

...Race

Mr. Kirk believed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a destructive force in American politics, calling its passage a “mistake” that he said has been turned into “an anti-white weapon.”

He also blamed the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for the law and was highly critical of the slain civil rights leader, calling him an “awful” person. Mr. Kirk said he desired a colorblind society but blamed the veneration of Dr. King for what he saw as America’s fixation on race.

Mr. Kirk was also a staunch opponent of affirmative action and was highly critical of the Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, calling her a “diversity hire” who wasn’t qualified to serve on the highest court.

His repudiation of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, known as D.E.I., stretched to comments many denounced as racist. In 2024, he said, “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’”

In 2021, while delivering a speech in Mankato, Minn., Mr. Kirk called George Floyd — the Black man whose murder by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020 provoked a broad racial justice movement — a “scumbag” who wasn’t worthy of the attention.

As opposed to good old boy and nepotism hires.
