Did anyone else not know who Charlie Kirk was until he got shot?

[NYC Rebel]

It's probably just a pivot since this will get way more views right now than talking about tethers but.........Tariq has been going IN on Trump and these Kirk types recently

Recently. some of us don’t need Tariq validation to go in on these types WAY BEFORE he has. Way before.

Stop pretending that he has the foresight and pulse on who means the worst for us. Bradley Impact Fund alone dumped $8.1M into Kirk’s machine THEN add a $108M war chest for 2024. Tariq aint informing yall of shyt

I didn't know who he was.

I'm sure I've seen a video of his before, but it's one of those things you forget all about 10min later. I think he was also that guy in that debate meme.

@Rhapscallion Démone you cruising for a bruising

No

Never knew who that cac was, he never showed up in my algorithm on any platform... Youtube, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, IG, dont matter. Until he got his neck split, now he#s everywhere

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

I had absolutely no idea who he was.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

I was familiar with him and other right wing conservatives I share agreement with some of their views on transgenderism and the lgbtq. And a few of their points about the democratic party. Of course I didn't agree at all with their points on racism.

 

[Erratic415]

I’d heard the name and did a wiki search before and immediately despised him.

 

[Dad]

Wasn’t YouTube this guys main platform? when I’m on youtube I’m not searching for the next cac in line for the MAGA throne.

Yeah it's tiring watching the colonizer spirit continue to move and exist in the modern era under the guise of Christian religious values. Again Christianity was the tool of choice to subjugate native populations and allow them to manipulate them into vulnerable states. We're still seeing it today with this MAGA shyt. When has Christ preached subjugation and oppression of groups on the margins? Yet that's primarily what modern day conservatives push for. It's a disgusting b*stardization of what is otherwise a solid moral framework to live by minus the proselytizing aspect of it...

Agreed, the South was never truly dealt with and we (America) continue to suffer as a result.

I'm more worried since people who have kids better know who he is/was because that was a big demographic that used to watch him. Even Gavin Newsome's son watched him.

That is a big fukking problem, but as always, it's quite too late.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

The vast majority of black people had no idea who he was and I find that concerning since WE were always the topic of his discussions, and He was literally building coalitions with young and old conservatives with the sole purpose of suppressing our livelihoods. That's not good.

As for me, I heard of him like a year ago. Or two.

I even posted him on a thread about punchable faces not too long ago

Exactly

To be this oblivious to the reality that is literally all around you…


…is not even shocking to me at this point. Not even saying you have to go out there and protest or give your 2 cents.. but to not know at all?

I would be more concerned about what else these nikkas don’t know if it was me. Like I said, lost cause…

 

[Neuromancer]

I'd heard the name and heard the bullshyt he's said but I didn't really pay attention to him.

 

[bnew]

You can't not know who he is..he's just that detestable and problematic.

too many black folks are asleep.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Alot of y'all only consume what a computer suggest you like and don't do any research on anything.

All this access to information and you limiting yourself to an algorithm.

Then be proud to be ignorant too.

"He don't show up on my algorithm."

I didn't watch Fox News as a kid but I certainly knew who Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh were.

At this point, we should all be studying what's going on on the right.

I learned about him last decade when Tariq Nasheed was going back and forth with the alt-right leaders on Twitter (it was still Twitter then). Kirk used to always talk about Chicago and black people. One of the main "What about Chicago?" people
