Charlie Kirk, White Supremacist, Dead at 31

Race, Racism, and the Law. ^ | 9/21/2025 | Vernellia R. Randall

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).

Yes. Ebony Magazine had a cartoon of MLK in Heaven looking down from the clouds as Obama was first nominated and wondering aloud if it was really happening down here.

Despite what public school children are now taught, even with the USA founded in 1619 to be a world center of slave catching and selling, and years of white racism with no possible chance for anyone black to prosper, somehow the majority of white voters along with others TWICE elected a black man as President.

Go figure. /S

Congress. 1789-2023.
186 black people have served in the House of Representatives, 14 have served in the Senate, and two have served in both chambers.

Too bad Idi Amin isn’t still around... Send her to Uganda and ask Amin how “salty” she tasted...

Southern Poverty Law Center is itself a hate group and should be considered as such.

George Floyd was a career criminal and drug addict whose death caused thousands of cases of lootings, hundreds of riots, and billions of dollars worth of damage to our cities. If the Southern Poverty Law Center wants to pretend that he was an upstanding citizen then they're delusional. And the true victims of that insanity? The American people. All of us. All colors all races.

Did anyone notice when Charlie Kirk was murdered there was NOT ONE riot. NO lootings. NO cities burned. No communities destroyed. Charlie's widow forgave the killer. And George's followers? They're still wallowing in hate, still milking it for all the advantages they can get from white guilt. Still pouring salt into old wounds. And yeah, that's scummy.

If you can’t see it, then you are just an idiot.

With that, you are mixing issues, being illogical and offensive all at the same time.

You further imply that any who discuss, brainstorm or convey particulars about perceived enemies are idiots.

Well done.

[caver]

Thank you.

[packrat35]

They are not just vilifying Charlie but all of us. Many are openly wishing we were dead.

We need to get with the program. They want us DEAD.

You cannot talk to people like that and we need to stop pretending you can. We had a guy that tried to do that and they killed him.

Just one Oink?

I’m tired of hearing it.
OK. Yes. We are better.

SUE THESE MARXIST BASTARDS, ERIKA!

[vpintheak]

Yep.

“...If anyone wants to know what makes you a Racist: 1. You Deny ‘Systemic Racism’. 2. You Vilify Critical Race Theory. 3. You think George Floyd was a Scumbag. 4. You have Christian Values...”

Gotta love Kafkatraps.

[NorthMountain]

I don't want to excessively insult sus domesticus, sus scrofa, or any of their relatives. Even feral hogs do less damage to these United States than do militant race bigots such as this creature.

[cowboyusa]

She is the rotten fruit of the rotten mlk jr.

[ridesthemiles]

SURE IS

[DiogenesLamp]

If anyone wants to know what makes you a Racist: 1. You Deny 'Systemic Racism'. 2. You Vilify Critical Race Theory. 3. You think George Floyd was a Scumbag. 4. You have Christian Values.

Someone needs a beating until they are begging for mercy.

The SPLC documented...

Thank you! 🤷‍♂️ The mod is prob not going to see that request anyway since it wasn’t addressed to them.

One of the beauties of freedom of association is it is very unlikely we’ll have to share a dinner with her. She wouldn’t want to eat with us and vice versa. We’ll never have to hear her “wisdom” beyond this item here.
