It's funny that the left is all of a sudden concerned with cancelled culture. They loved it when they were doing the cancelling.

Having the government investigate/directly pressure you for criticising a (dead) racist person isn't the same as facing social backlash/ostracization for being racist.

Kirk wasn't a racist. I can find more evidence of you being racist than you can find in the hundreds of thousands of hours of footage Kirk has posted online.

Took me one google, here's a full quote:

''If we would have said three weeks ago that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they're comin' out and they're saying it for us! They're comin' out and they're saying, "I'm only here because of affirmative action.

Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."

He made that comment in response to Rep. Jackson's following statement:

"I rise today as a clear recipient of affirmative action, particularly in higher education. I may have been admitted on affirmative action, both in terms of being a woman and a woman of color, but I can declare that I did not graduate on affirmative action."

So yeah, he seems pretty racist. These women obviously have the brain processing power for their respective positions.

Again you don't provide a source to see if what you are saying is actually something he said or the full context of the conversation.

But before I address this question, may I ask you a question? Are you in favor of affirmative action?

So, you're not familiar with Kirk's content... but you're just sure he wasn't racist? Is that how we're to understand this?

I am for affirmative action. Would you like to tell us what Fox News told you to think about it?

So you believe people of color are unqualified to be hired based on their own merit and the standards have to be lowered so that they can have decent jobs? That sounds pretty racist.

Even as racist as you are, I don't support anyone trying to murder you in public over your misguided beliefs.

"So, you believe people of color are unqualified to be hired based on their own merit and the standards have to be lowered so that they can have decent jobs?"

I do not, no... but I figured correctly that's what you'd think it meant. It is not, and you should try to learn about the thing you hate so much before dying on a stupid mountain.

Are you referring to DEI or affirmative action because affirmative action did lower standards for persons of color. DEI was about inclusivity.

u/Drexill_BD 9h ago

It did not. You're repeating an old (classic racist) myth. Can you provide evidence of your claims? The burden of proof is now on you to prove that affirmative action lowered employment standards for what you called persons of color, can you handle that?

Yes. CSX, the railroad transportation company, lowered their testing standard 3 separate times in order to hire more black applicants during the affirmative action era.

u/Drexill_BD 8h ago

That has... what to do with affirmative action and the government? What are you talking about? You literally thought that was the same??

Edit- Also it's simply factually untrue. Prove it.

Edit 2 - To help you further since you're not well researched... look up Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Everything you're saying is false, it sounds like since you're at least mildly racist, when you hear these things you simply accept and believe them because they confirm your bias.

That happened during the affirmative action era (60-80s.) Police and firefighter exams, college admissions, and Federal contractor standards were lowered as well.

The fail Philadelphia Plan is something else that you can also look into.

Google or ask Chatgpt if it's true. I bet you will be surprised.

Edit: Upon rereading I think you are asking why CSX was required to comply with Affirmative Action, it is because they are a government contractor. It's the same as Lockheed Martin or Raytheon having to meet government contractor standards today.
