RIP Charlie Kirk

No, the song doesn't belong in public spaces post 94. It served a different purpose then. It should be restricted to museums and university lecture halls like the old flag.

would you say it could denote racism if one sings such a song in 2025 and not 1994?
 
You know racism has more to do with other things than empathy, don't do?

Or any person for that matter. Just look up the word "racism".

Read your first sentence. New low for you?
So you claim that a White person can be racist even while doing good deeds for and helping POC? Wow, how convenient that must be for people like you.

This must be a new level of absolute desperation.

I guess anything goes if one wants to keep that Racism card alive...especially after all the damage that's been done to it over the years. But kudos to you for trying to ensure that whitey can never escape the racism label.

Enjoy it while it lasts...not much longer.
 
I am not crazy, I am the "Bridge out" sign

Fact: Elon Musk makes Nazi salute during Trump inauguration. This is revered by MAGA and even honoured.
Fact: Israel is an Apartheid state. Undesirables are non-citizens.
Fact: Israel is doing a genocide right now, which is protected by the MAGA-ruled US and even suggests ways to do it better
Fact: American Nationalism is very much on the rise in one particular party. Everybody rallies around shouting the phrase "Deutchland Uber Alles" "Make America Great Again!" waving the flag like mad.
Fact: The ruling party in Israel is Likud – National Liberal Movement
Fact: The guys who made Apartheid called themselves "The National Party of South Africa" because they were Nationalists and valued Christian values and purity above all. They had the nickname "The Nats"
Fact: You will never guess what "Nazi" is short for.... Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or National Socialist German Workers' Party

My guy. Sometimes you just need to look around you. Nationalism is bad. We had a war about this.
Do I need to break out Dr Seuss?
Fact: Nationalism is great and needed now more than ever.
 
Funniest of all of this is watching South Africans acting like they're part of America, picking sides. As if any of this event in a different country makes ANY difference to your lives. We have our own problems at home and should be focussing our attention on that. This is all just extra noise in an endless sea of media being shoved down our throats. Pick your battles people - this isn't one of them.
It affects the entire world though. Because we all consume their **** media, and their ideas become our ideas like a festering plague. Let's not pretend like their culture isn't everywhere around us.

My opinion is that the system it was fighting has been (largely) dismantled. In the absence of a system, what is it fighting? It has a different meaning now which is different from meaning it conveyed in the " good ol' days". I'd say banish it to the hallways and lecture halls of academia.
 
I don't have opinion of them. Did they watch the videos? I don't know.
Plenty of examples of it in which they clearly knew exactly what he was saying, and therefore defended him in aftermath of the onslaught by the loons.

Let's try another way. Would you consider this article to be racist if you substituted white <-> black throughout, and the author was white?


I want to see if everyone is held to the same standard, and how long before the "historical injustice" argument is brought up to condone racism as long as it's done by black racists...

Would you say it could be used as a reliable way to determine if someone is racist by whether they sing that song or not?

Before we go any further, I'm not celebrating his death. I'm just indifferent. I care more about the little school children's deaths that hardly receive any 2nd glance from the political elite, let alone some random black person. Kirk is just another statistic like those defenceless little boys and girls.

You don't expect me to read the article now, do you?
