I am 50-year-old mom and I get that, if you don't ever look at social media you may not have heard of him, but if you have teens you absolutely should have.
Charlie Kirk was uber famous. There are memes about the memes about him.
I am looking forward to when the 48-hours expire and we can discuss some of his views here. I wholeheartedly respect DCUM's rules and I condemn in the strongest possible terms what happened to Charlie Kirk. No one asks or deserves to me murdered. Political violence is horrible for all of us. But Charlie Kirk was a very famous public figure and there is no contradiction between denouncing the assassination and critiquing his views.
I’ve never heard of him nor have my tweens. We aren’t big into SM though. Is Kirk kinda like Mr. Beast? I have heard of Mr. Beast? Is that his name? He had his own brand of lunchables.
If you had an 18 year old boy he would have heard of him. My college freshman said the killing was all his team talked about at practice yesterday. The team is a mix of conservative and liberal kids and opinions on Kirk ranged from adoration to disgust. He said they had a respectful discussion, which gave me great hope.
I'm struggling with adoration of hate and why people who were the targets of Kirk's hate need to be respectful.
What people or individuals were targeted of “Kirk’s hate”? When did he said he hated person XYZ or a group of people abc?
Or did he said he hates crime? Or murderers? Or hates the lack of morals out there?
What did he say he hated exactly? A thing? A concept? A proper noun person? A group of benign people? A country?
He said he wouldn’t feel comfortable with a Black pilot, no? Kind of hate adjacent.
Here are some nice quotes:
"If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified." (January 23, 2024, The Charlie Kirk Show)
"If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?" (January 3, 2024, The Charlie Kirk Show)
Speaking about several prominent Black women, Kirk stated, "You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." (July 13, 2023, The Charlie Kirk Show)
Kirk has also made claims that "prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people," and that this is "a fact" that is "happening more and more." (May 19, 2023, The Charlie Kirk Show)
Referring to the "great replacement strategy," Kirk stated that it is "well under way every single day in our southern border" and is a "strategy to replace white rural America with something different." (March 1, 2024, The Charlie Kirk Show)
In comments about immigration from India, Kirk said, "America does not need more visas for people from India. Perhaps no form of legal immigration has so displaced American workers as those from India." (September 1, 2025, on his X account)
