@Blackgendermoderate @KeepTakingTheSoma A lot of people have been fired for celebrating his death...I wasn't sure how I felt about that at first, (being against cancel culture and all). Though I came to the decision that celebrating and calling for the deaths of more like him (JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, Elon Musk, Trump etc) was the potential start of a reaaally bad trend. A path I don't want to see our country go down.

Because if a guy from the left killed Charlie Kirk, then someone from the right will kill someone on the left next...and then we'll all just start killing anyone with politics we don't like from any side. I don't want to see that...the whole who's next thing. Especially as a GC with political opinions many find reprehensible and worthy of taking my life over. It could be any of us next. Charlie wasn't a politician...he was just a citizen like us. He didn't sponsor or sign any bills - he just spoke. Like millions of every day people do.

You don't have to be sad or sorry he's dead...there's admittedly some people that passed away during my lifetime that I'm not exactly mourning or missing to this day. But it is worthwhile to understand, (and it sounds like you do) that even people we don't like don't deserve to be murdered in front of their family just because we don't like what they say. It's all fun and games when it happens to someone we don't like...and a horror when it happens to us or someone we love.

I do think I saw Charlie speak on George Floyd...he was pointing out the fact that he thought George was no saint, (though a lot of people paint him as one)...he was specifically noting how Floyd served 5 years in prison for aggravated robbery and pointing a gun at the woman's abdomen he was robbing. Thankfully he wasn't celebrating his death, but yeah he was basically saying it was no great loss. And I guess that's a fair take.

I won't try to pretend I know what it's like for a black woman in this world...like a man can't know what it's like for a woman. I can try to imagine it somewhat though and I can envision that it adds another layer of shit to deal with for a black woman in many ways. Charlie had some hot takes about race that I as a white woman won't feel personally attacked by. And I can see why you might or do.

I watched his debates for probably the past year or so when he was suggested to me on YouTube. I agree with his stance on transgenderism, immigration, and his hot take on affirmative action and that a huge problem in the black community is that there are less black fathers in the home today, which contributes to a huge swath of cultural problems they are now facing. I can't call what he said about the above racist...it doesn't ring as racist to me, more so reasonable and just plain common sense. A lot of people called him Hitler and that he deserved to die for all that though and I'm just like really? Damn.
