You didn't hear the things he said you don't think he's racist. They're very easy to find if you're willing to look and open to the idea he may in fact had been racist before being shot.

    Let's test this. In your opinion, was Charlie Kirk for or against LGBT tolerance? If you don't know the answer to that, you also aren't qualified to determine if Kirk was racist.

    If he is for being tolerant of LGBT folks, how does that make him more or less racist? He can still think Black trans women are inferior to white ones, while saying trans rights. Just don't let them fly planes if they're black.

    I heard what he said but he never acted on them like a traditional racist. My point is exactly that he talked a big game but wasn't as racist as his friends. He was cool with letting people be hated on but was too lazy to actually hate himself.

    You can be racist with just words my guy. You don't have to act on words to be racist. That is quite the high bar for racism, but then again I've been called racial slurs my entire life growing up in Kentucky amongst all the racist not racist to you since flying confederate flags is just speech, white people, so maybe I'm just a bit biased towards falsely identifying racist people. Please let the class know how you identify racists and what race do you identify as?

    Lol, I'm not racist. I'm saying that Charlie Kirk is lazy and stupid. But yeah. Sure. He was racist too.

    I never thought Charlie Kirk was a racist. He was always just really dumb and had done so much dumb stuff that he knew what to say to trigger people.

    Lol, I'm not racist. I'm saying that Charlie Kirk is lazy and stupid. But yeah. Sure. He was racist too.

    Elaborate how you hold these two view points. Or was one simple jab by me enough to convince you he actually was racist? If so, again, that's quite a flimsy hold on what you makes you consider an individual is a racist or not. That deserves some reflection on your part if that's the case.

    Also tell us how you identify racists and what race you identify as.
