How Charlie Kirk & Turning Points USA Plans to Discredit Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Act

[Costanza]

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is preparing to launch a campaign against MLK and the landmark civil rights law he helped enact.

Conservative activist and Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk has a lot of opinions on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In 2015, Kirk called him a “hero.”

In 2022, MLK was a “civil rights icon.”

In December 2023, speaking before a group of students and teachers at America Fest, a political convention organized by Turning Point USA, Kirk struck a different tone.

“MLK was awful,” Kirk said. “He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

…

Kirk argues that the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination on the basis of race, ushered in a “permanent DEI-type bureaucracy,” referring to diversity, equity, and inclusion. He illustrated how the law has gone wrong when responding to a question from a student who said they became the subject of a Title IX investigation after posting an Instagram story mocking transgender people. Title IX, which was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972, bans schools that receive federal funding from discriminating on the basis of sex. King was assassinated four years prior, in 1968.

“The courts have been really weak on this,” Kirk told the America Fest crowd. “Federal courts just yield to the Civil Rights Act as if it's the actual American Constitution.” The law is ultimately a way to “re-found the county” and “a way to get rid of the First Amendment,” according to Kirk.

…

“King supported the Civil Rights Act and was an architect of it,” Rauch adds. “I guess if you're gonna go down this road, you have to say King was wrong and maybe King was a bad person.”

Kirk’s comments at America Fest were merely a preview of his attacks on King. He recently said that he plans to release content to discredit MLK on January 15, King’s birthday, which is a US federal holiday honoring King.

“We're gonna be hitting him next week,” Kirk said on his podcast this week. “Yeah, on the day of the Iowa caucus, it's MLK Day. We're gonna do the thing you're not supposed to do. We're gonna tell the truth about MLK Jr. You better tune in next week. Blake has already been preparing. It's gonna be great.”

Coon patrol will be in here to talk about immigrants and gays any minute now. (if we attack the people you hate, you'll let all this other stuff slide.)

The Shills are out in full force early.

I doubt it but I also didn’t expect the first response to be about Trump and Epstein…

the caucasian man is so dumb he can be right and wrong at the same time.

Anyone with a sense of history knows what MLK, Jr. was about, both good and bad. Unfortunately, most people have little to no sense of history.

Hell of a thing when people are openly telling you how they plan to brainwash you...not the first time they are doing it either...talk their shit and pat themselves on the back...open contempt

I don't see this one working in terms of switching people over though...will just reinforce beliefs among the racists and reinforce opinions about the racists among the non racists

I have been wrong about these people before though...they definitely understand the American people

It won’t. MLK, Jr. ran the same playbook that the NAACP and Black Lives Matter are trying to run today but it was apolitical. Anyone fighting for integration now is suspect and pro-white.

Now, political shills are running around like being part of the blue or red is being part of a gang. It is especially prevalent here on Biden Groupies Online.

Remember, MLK Jr. was a triple agent. That would be hard to replicate now because everyone is getting tribal in the end days. Only one group of people is still being told to let everyone in under the premise of “we all black”.

Wow it's becoming so predictable to see where all the Trump and conservative loyalist get their talking points from.

Instead of Dr. King, maybe Black Americans should study the methods of Jean-Jacques Dessalines
