I think you can make a convincing argument here that what Charlie Kirk said in the first 40 seconds of this video is racist.




Michelle Obama used affirmative action to marry Barack Obama?

I'm pretty sure that all you have to do to qualify for First Spouse is to figure out who is most likely to win the president and be attractive and click with that person.

I am assuming that Michelle was talking about her education or her career pre-marriage, not her marriage.

However, none of that is what I think is Kirk's pretty obvious racist tell in that statement.

From what I can tell, I don't think I would say Kirk was specifically racist against Black people, though he was highly inflammatory in his statements about affirmative action or DEI or whatever and walked right up to the line while criticizing those things (purposely, I suspect).

I think he probably was racist (or prejudiced, or whatever you prefer) against Muslims. I also suspect several of our conservative posters here agree with him on this.

Quote:

Foreign residents and supporters of mass migration were, he claimed, "very quietly and secretly funnelling themselves into Japanese life. They want to erase, replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims".

...

He claimed he had seen a cafe in which "every single table was taken by a Mohammedan and a fully burqa-wearing woman not a single native Brit" and that people were being arrested for online posts that displayed no apparent harmful intent.





This has nothing to with race.


This suggests that he is religionist.


And his statements are true. Islam is the master of misogyny and other horrific things. Not all Muslims are bad. Islam is not compatible with western values. Those statements are not mutually exclusive.

However, it's not the part that everyone is misquoting him on (also the part that got Washington Post opinion columnist Karen Attiah fired for intentionally misquoting him).




Thanks for sharing. He is mostly saying these specific 4 woman are not worthy. Later in the clip he said (paraphrase) "taking the spot of someone worthy." Early in the clip he did make a racist comment when he said "taking the spot of a white woman.

Show me more. It's very left to label somebody with one statement. He has done a lot of good for many minorities directly but it doesn't fit your narrative to listen to those stories.

Walz is a misogynist racist by your standards because he clearly called Kamala a prostitutor

As I said, I'm pretty sure some folks here agree with him on this. Also, I did say you could call it prejudiced or something else if not specifically racist.

I think this paints with far too broad a brush.

There are variants of Islam (just like most other religions). The extreme (perhaps the correct word is fundamentalist??) Islamists explicitly reject western values and norms in favor of Sharia and seek to impose (not simply observe) their views on the world (i.e., political Islam). Those people and their views are quite arguably incompatible with Western civilization and it is not bigoted to say so. You are taking them at their word.

There are also variants of Islam that adopt a more modern and tolerant approach. I'm not going to guess what percentage of Muslims fall into each category, but I think its safe to say the western world should be fully aware that many follow fundamentalist Islam and/or pursue political Islam. It is crazy to welcome those people into western countries when they have no intention of assimilating or moderating.

Yes, like many religions Islam has moderate/modern wings and an extreme/fundamentalist wing. Obviously we should not bring in extremists if we can help it. Unfortunately we are stuck with the Christian version in the US since they were born here.

The idea that the majority of Muslims are incompatible with Western civilization is nonsense. We have had Muslim communities here in the US for many years with no issue. Is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar incompatible with American democracy? Seems like he is a thoughtful participant in it, actually!

I'm not sure why they can't seem to get their s*** together in the UK, but maybe America just assimilates better, I dunno.

Christianity underwent a reformation. You don't see Christian crusaders seeking to conquer territory or waging war to convert people. That is not the case for Islam where Political Islam is a driving force of problems in many communities (Iran and its proxies, Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas, ISIS, Boko Haram etc).

I didn't say majority. But in any event, you are making several false comparisons.

  • Muslim communities in the US are not representative of Muslim communities in other parts of the world. Beyond that, there are real problems in Minnesota, Seattle, and Michigan were recent Muslim immigrants have brought beliefs and practices that have in fact created "issues" (to adopt your formulation). Those people are not Kareem Abdul-Jabbars (or for that matter Muhammed Alis). The US does have a real assimilation problem, though no where near as bad as Europe.
  • There are approximately two billion Muslims in the world. Surveys show that a substantial percentage of those hold views that are not compatible with western democracy and have no intention of adopting Western values. That is (at a minimum) hundreds of millions of people. It is not wrong to say we don't want those people in our Country.
  • Your reference to Christianity in America is a false equivalency. You have political objections with these people. They are not in any way similar to Isis, Hamas, or the Mullahs of Iran. Very few Christians resort to violence based on their Christian beliefs (some do). But more importantly, no modern Christian religion advocates for violence or preaches in favor of advancing Christianity with violence.

History shows that immigrants of all stripes tend to hold on to their old ways when they move to America. It's their children and grandchildren that assimilate into American society.

I worry about our Jews. They are more loyal to a foreign power committing genocide than the US. There are thousands in New York City living in fundamentalist cults, wearing black hats, oppressing and separating women, self- segregating from the rest of the population with their own religious schools and Messiah fantasies. These cults are not compatible with western democracies and assimilation. What are these people up to? Does Tommy Robinson know?

THIS!!!!

And you can also usually see that especially when a "wave" migration how much backlash there is. I love listening to right wingers with Italian surnames spout off cause I know my history and how much persecution/discrimenation they faced. Ditto the Irish. Ditto the Poles. Ditto the Germans. Even the scots.

The best ethnography I have seen says generation 3. The original immigrants cling to the old ways and usually their kids, as a matter of necessity, are bilingual and usually adopt elements of both cultures. The grandkids though are usually essentially assimilated into the "full" culture.

Fun fact. You actually see that a LOT in Southern California. BOTH in Mexican American AND Vietnamese American neighborhoods. 20-30 years ago a ton of signage JUST in mother tongues. Now if you drive around these same neighborhoods, a lot less. Another fun fact - since about 2010-2015 net migration from Mexico is negative. The wave currently experiencing was from other Latin American countries. Part of the shift to Trump was Mexican american backlash about THESE immigrants. If I had a grad student working on these questions I would totally pitch them on checking out the hypothesis that some of this is that using the asylum system is seen as a different immigrant story than crossing the border illegally - which often is still told 3 generations later in Mexican american families.

Interesting that you think that justifies the invasion. Sharia will follow just like all throughout Europe.


Sharia is in every Muslim dominant country, mostly as actual law and only in pockets. Polygamy is legal in all but 2 Muslim countries.

Are there evil Christian's? Of course
Are the absolutely wonderful Muslims? Of course

Will the peaceful Muslims get dominated by the bloodthirsty ones who are in a constant state of jihad until the whole world is Muslim? Well that is the historical pattern

Any theology majors? Please set me straight if I'm way off

My perspective/ understanding is vastly different from yours. It is mostly due to who I am who my parents were and grandparents and so on. It's a sticky situation to watch others come to place we built via chattel slavery for free ( still have not been compensated)to then still in the group level not have piece of the pie.
White proximity white acceptance white adulation via full capitulation are very big pieces of the puzzle

We have colloquial saying … whites say " if your light (Asian etc) you are Ight if your brown ( Hispanic/spanish etc) you can stick around and if you are Black stay back

And the colorism has everyone's mindset messed up in America or around the world doesn't matter if it's Indian or the Philippines or Argentina
