So as a black person, or rather a person who isn't an idiot, #### Charlie Kirk and #### this thread.

"Kirk thought black people didn't deserve the civil rights movement"
I can't find where he ever said or implied that black people didn't deserve the civil rights movement - does Acey have a link to support that claim?
From what I've been able to find, Kirk emphasizes meritocracy and colorblindness. His criticism of the civil rights act was that he believed it enabled government overreach and weaponized DEI. He was clearly anti-DEI, as many people are today, because of the belief that it undermines meritocracy, and makes for racial fixation.
Here's a short clip where a black male asks Kirk "you've said that the civil rights act was a mistake - what did you mean by that?". If you want to hear Kirk's answer himself.

Kirk - "the intent is noble, which is to say that no american can be not allowed into a place of business based on the color of their skin or their ethnic heritage. Totally in agreement with that."
