    Im not explaining why its correct, Im explaining why he made it. Because the general idea is that he was just straight up racist. Which may very well be true, but if you have the context of why he said it, or at least the context in which he presented the argument, then you can understand it and challenge it. No? If all you think of someone is that they are a racist, then you can easily dismiss them. But that doesnt challenge the point. And if you hate that so many others are listening to the point, then its on you to challenge them with truth, rather than just calling them bigots and getting a pat on the back from like minded internet strangers.

    Im advocating for people to arm themselves with information. I dont really see why thats so wrong.

      Nice try, but you’ve now gone full mask-off in other comments so it’s quite clear what you’re attempting to do here. Are we really supposed to believe that you aren’t trying to legitimise Kirk’s DEI arguments when you type stuff like this?

      The problem, IMO, of DEI is that it addresses the symptoms in a superficial way for social media back slapping purposes, but doesnt address the causes of why these programs need to exist at all. Is this a right wing view? I think black people should have better access to the tools needed to compete, you think they should just be handed things as they need the charity.
