someone i know (but unfriended quickly) compared him to jesus on fb so i commented under her post his quote about black women lacking brainpower bc this woman has a black daughter. someone replied to me they hate when people don’t provide the context. so they gave me the context of him being against affirmative action. like that’s still fucking racist dawg. the context is just more racism
The thing i don’t get is ppl still talking about this ONE dude like he’s a God. We bomb innocent civilians all the time in the middle east but ppl choose to turn their cheek on that. Little kids dying. Yet ppl wanna obsess over one popular right wing activist, rot in Hell you ungodly demon.
Simply just calling someone racist for questioning how a system isn’t racism, it’s just an uncomfortable conversation ignorant people aren’t ready for, Charlie simply supported hiring the most qualified candidates not just filling in a quota, you can call it racist all you want but you can’t say he didn’t make a good point when arguing it, those conversations are important to have, screaming racist doesn’t doesn’t do anything
The direct argument against this is for Indian and Asian doctors who are highly successful in America because they are hard working and QUALIFIED. Affirmative Action is good on paper but doesn't work in practice because it's always going to be better to hire the more qualified person. Which is why Education should be free or vastly cheaper so everyone can have the same opportunity at achieving it.
He said empathy was a made up new age term than does a lot of damage because it’s not possible to put yourself in another’s shoes. Then said compassion and sympathy are good because they lead to understanding and action. The problem is that logic is a lie. You CAN put yourself in someone else’s shoes as a way to understand their emotions and ACT to help them. He’s calling the catalyst for what he wants damaging while supporting a weaker form that does NOT have the effect he’s claiming to want.
And the facts are that 1. Systemic racism still exists. 2. The systemic racism of America’s past still affects black people today. 3. Affirmative action attempts to help those who are disenfranchised. And most importantly 4. Black women have the same mental ability as all other groups. Piss off
That’s not what he said at all. Do yourself a favor and watch the clip, it’ll clear it up for you a bit. He’s obviously interacted with far more than just 4 black women, he was saying that these 4 specific black women, (who admitted they are only in their positions because of affirmative action) were stupid basically. It had nothing to do with the color of their skin. He wasnt assuming they got the job because of AA, they literally admitted it themselves publicly.
She’s defending better representation because there is a large gender and racial gap for a lot of different fields. Affirmative action is NOT about picking unqualified people. It’s about looking at those who are qualified, but are often overlooked for positions because of historical bias and systemic racism. Eat my ass
So the people disenfranchised by our government and society don’t need or deserve any help to achieve a semblance of equality? If no then, you believe that one race deserves a leg up on the other (you think white people deserved to be an upper class over blacks), which would then make you the racist. Try again
It’s not solely based off of race. Ever. It’s a fucking factor. Systemic racism still exist even if the civil rights act passed in the 60’s. Fun fact, Kirk hated the civil rights acts of the 60’s. So you’re saying we needed afirmative action in the 60’s, but not now, while defending the guy who thinks we never needed the civil rights act in the first place? You’re doing a racism dance. Find god. Try again. Take a lap
