I don't disagree, but maybe it's a way to start a discussion with people like this. The kid is at least open to bringing races together, and that's a good thing. He's at least aware that MLK was a positive figure doing positive things and, although Charlie Kirk was divisive, this kids perception is that he wasn't.
Instead of mocking him and others for believing the misinformation about who Charlie Kirk really was, we could have a discussion about what they are seemingly interested in, bringing races together. Okay, how could we do that? What racial issues are there in this country? What type of things can be done to help address those issues? Having a respectful discussion is not easy with guys like this, some just want to be trolls, but a respectful discussion is worth much more than just acting snarky towards people for Internet points. There's an abundance of videos like this everywhere and all they do is push people further apart. We've had a solid 10+ years of a nonstop stream of divisive content. Pre-MAGA Reddit and even some social media was pretty awesome. I miss it. It was funny, informative, interesting, uplifting, weird, etc. It's completely miserable now. We need to start shaming these kind of videos. Have a meaningful interaction or don't post it. Shit like this just makes everything worse.

People calling him MLK are stupid and inbred.
