Charlie Kirk built himself into the face of a conservative youth movement through Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Behind the branding of “patriotism” and “freedom,” the record shows a pattern of rhetoric, organizational culture, and alliances that echoed white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideologies. The Southern Poverty Law Center documented how TPUSA repeatedly framed immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and racial justice advocates as existential threats to “white Christian America,” warning followers that their families, religion, and entire way of life were under attack. In later years, Kirk openly embraced Christian nationalist language, claiming that liberty was only possible with a Christian population—a narrative tying freedom to demographic dominance, a cornerstone of supremacist logic (SPLC).
On race, Kirk was blunt and dismissive. He denied the existence of systemic racism, called white privilege a “racist idea,” and vilified critical race theory as dangerous indoctrination. In one speech, he called George Floyd a “scumbag,” showing open contempt for a man whose death triggered a national reckoning on race and policing (WHYY). These rhetorical choices were not accidental—they functioned as a political strategy to delegitimize Black pain and deny the realities of structural racism in America.
Inside TPUSA, the culture reflected the same hostility. A New Yorker investigation described the workplace as “difficult … and rife with tension, some of it racial.” One African American staffer reported being the only person of color when hired in 2014, only to be fired on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The organization’s then–national field director, Crystal Clanton, was exposed for texting, “I hate black people. … End of story.” TPUSA claimed it acted after the texts surfaced, but the damage was undeniable—the rot reached the top (New Yorker).

“”I am ashamed of myself for thinking that is funny.””
I thought it was funny, too. But I’m a huge fan of sarcasm in any form (Seinfeld, Curb).
The ONLY reason the MAGA and anti-woke spirit in this nation ahs risen and sanity has started to return is because people like Charlie Kirk engaged the vilest of our enemies in civil debate.
If you don’t understand that maybe you shouldn’t be posting on a Charlie Kirk thread.
1. He denied the existence of systemic racism. He’s correct.
2. He called white privilege a “racist idea”. He’s correct.
3. He vilified critical race theory as dangerous indoctrination. He’s correct.
4. He called George Floyd a “scumbag,”. He’s correct.
Looks like Charlie’s correct on everything and you’re on the wrong side of the truth.
You really don’t have to search for any of this crap. It is in our face 24/7/365. If you can’t see it, then you are just an idiot.
I will not shed a tear when they regress back to their natural state of being. I.e. Africa.
You want an example of racism? The poor Canuns were driven out of Canada, forced to move to the bayous of Louisiana. Forced to live on crawfish, shrimp, catfish, oysters, etc. been called coon-asses for years. Oh the oppression they feel! Carjacking pirogues, assaulting gators and all sorts os swamp revelry!
Vernellia R. Randall, self explanatory.
That didn’t take long. They announced it on the day of his memorial. Now, I figure it will take two or three days before they make up quotes Charlie made in the 5th grade, and interview some of his former grade school classmates.
No need to be ashamed. It was objectively funny. (Unless you're a leftist, in which case nothing is funny, because you don't have a sense of humor AT ALL.)
“If you don’t understand that maybe you shouldn’t be posting on a Charlie Kirk thread.”
Hey, don’t tell me what I don’t understand. I am fully aware of what is going on. I know the reason that Charlie Kirk has brought many things to the forefront.
Another group of people spewing their BULLSH*T!
Oink.
I think this article is illustrative of the enemy. This woman hates white people, and is proud of it. I bet with a little research you would find she hates blacks who believe normal things as well. I want her words to reach every decent person so they know when bigots like this spew their libelous hatred they are not talking about some skinhead waiving a swastika, they are talking about you, in Normaltown USA who has never harmed anyone for their skin color.
So he said something bad about St. George! Oh, the humanity!

Hey Vernillia...
How Christian is the trash in the red hoodie?
It’s not surprising that CRT communists attack Charlie for exposing the black supremacist system. Whites have been discriminated against long enough. It’s time for blacks to stand on their own two feet.
You have a very good point!
Why?
