benalvino3:+ The truth is that if that was the only raycisst thing he ever said, people would shrug and forget it. But he said many such things, very terrible things and therefore each adds up and makes the case against him firm. |

DeepSight:Just today, LordReed took Lindsey Graham's words out of context and accused him of supporting Hitler. Despite showing him the full context, he refused to accept reality. Some things people say can be controversial, yet still hold truth. It’s not about hate or prejudice, but it is about having conversations that need to happen, and some folks prefer to be straightforward and call things as they see them. |

benalvino3:+ Show me the context. Some things people say can be controversial, yet still hold truth. It’s not about hate or prejudice, but it is about having conversations that need to happen, and some folks prefer to be straightforward and call things as they see them.Charles Kirk was a deeply raycist man and many of the things he said clearly bore that out. As I said, if it was one or two odd remarks its different and you could spin it as you like. But when you have a whole career catalogue, you cant deny it. The only people that deny it are raycists and slaves of raycists, Uncle Rukus' and Uncle Toms, many of which are here sadly! |

benalvino3:+ Is this the statement concerned - https://web.facebook.com/reel/974725901552713 If it is, I see the context. |

DeepSight:It was homophobic and controversial to say there are only two genders. Tweeter used to ban people citing hate speech. So I don't buy your perspective on this matter. Post the racist things he said. |

benalvino3:+ Anyway what I saw was him saying that people didnt think Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews and establish a master race, they miscalculated Hitler (because he actually wanted to) and in the same way people are miscalculating the Ayatollas because they also have genocidal intentions. If thats the context you are referring to, I get. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 3:25am On Mar 12 |
DeepSight:LordReed just quoted the part "people got Hitler wrong" and started making claims he is in support of Hitler that he is a nazi supporter yada yada yada... When he is given the full context, he doubles down. He refused the truth |

DeepSight:"If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified." (The Charlie Kirk Show, ~23 January 2024) Kirk said this (often prefaced with "I'm sorry" or "I am sorry" while criticizing DEI hiring in aviation and other high-stakes fields. He argued racial quotas/affirmative action lower standards and create safety risks, using the phrase to illustrate public doubt about competence under such policies."If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?" (The Charlie Kirk Show, ~3 January 2024; some reports link similar remarks to May 2023) Part of broader commentary on DEI in workplaces. Kirk claimed policies prioritize race over merit, leading to unqualified hires and public skepticism Regarding Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson: "You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot..." (suggesting affirmative action picks; The Charlie Kirk Show, 13 July 2023) Kirk named these four prominent liberal Black women while attacking affirmative action. He said critics would have been called racist for pointing it out earlier, but now "they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us." Fact-checks note he targeted these specific individuals (all highly credentialed via elite schools), not Black women broadly. He tied it to his view that DEI "steals" slots from more qualified (often White/Asian) candidates. "Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that's a fact. It's happening more and more." (The Charlie Kirk Show, 19 May 2023) In a segment on urban crime and interracial violence. Kirk cited FBI stats and viral incidents (e.g., "knockout game" or flash-mob attacks) to argue certain patterns of Black-on-White crime are underreported or downplayed for political reasons. He framed it as entertainment/targeted rather than random. Called George Floyd a "scumbag." (2020–2021 speeches). Kirk highlighted Floyd's criminal record and drug involvement, arguing his death was exploited for "racial reckoning" and riots rather than reflecting systemic police racism. He said the man didn't deserve martyrdom "Just because you're a white person does not mean you have to begin apologizing simply for how God made you" (to a virtually all-White crowd) (e.g., 2021 Mankato speech). Responding to post-George Floyd "White privilege" and "anti-racism" rhetoric. Kirk told audiences they shouldn't feel collective guilt for their race or history. "The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white." (20 March 2024) "The great replacement strategy, which is well underway every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different." (1 March 2024) Kirk endorsed the "Great Replacement" as deliberate Democratic policy via open borders and mass immigration, shifting demographics away from traditional (White, rural) America. America at its peak when immigration halted for 40 years (foreign-born % lowest ever; "We should be unafraid to do that." 22 August 2025) Kirk praised 1924–1965 immigration restrictions as a model for assimilation and cultural preservation. "Incredibly, like, non-negotiating hawk" on immigration + parents of "illegal" young woman should "go back... with her" (consistent across episodes). Hardline stance: no amnesty, deportation emphasis, family unity in removal. He opposed "Dreamer"-style exceptions. Dismantling DEI ("enforcement arm of critical race theory"; "DEI is about trying to destroy the excellence of the country and elevating racial tribal politics" Kirk called DEI forced quotas that replace merit with race, harming institutions (aviation, military, corporations). Criticized Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s"; created "permanent DEI-type bureaucracy" and "anti-white weapon" He argued the Act's anti-discrimination provisions birthed endless lawsuits, quotas, and federal overreach that now discriminate against Whites/Asians. Criticized MLK Jr. ("awful" and "not a good person" (2023 America Fest remarks).Kirk attacked King's personal character (e.g., alleged infidelity, plagiarism) and some radical views, while downplaying the "I Have a Dream" legacy as not reflective of the full man. He linked this to his Civil Rights Act critique. "Large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America" and "Islam is not compatible with western civilization" (30 April 2025 and 24 June 2025) Kirk warned of no-go zones, Sharia incompatibility with free speech/equality/Christian values, and left-Islam alliances. Jewish donors as "No. 1 funding mechanism of radical, open border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies"; "beast created by secular Jews... is now coming for Jews"; Jews as "largest funders of cultural Marxist ideas" (2023–2024 episodes). Kirk criticized secular Jewish philanthropists (e.g., Soros-linked groups) for bankrolling progressive causes, universities, and open-border nonprofits. He was simultaneously pro-Israel and warned this "beast" was boomeranging on Jews. He distinguished from religious/Orthodox Jews or Israel support. "If you're a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?" (8 December 2022) Referring to the Brittany Griner prisoner swap (Griner for Russian arms dealer). Kirk argued identity politics (race, sexuality, WNBA status) got preferential treatment over military service. "Constant comments about Black Americans" → Accurate summary. Race, crime, affirmative action, and Black leadership were frequent topics on his show. None of these quotes indicates he is a racist. Some are controversial at best. You should focus on the democrats who think you are d mb as a black person and cannot figure out a computer. |

benalvino3:+ You must be joking. As I have said anyway. When you add them all together. It's absurd to deny the obvious. Needless to say, I know your type. You would not think him a racist even if he called your family apes. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 4:14am On Mar 12 |
DeepSight:None of what he said is racist. I am not joking. Pick your best one, let's discuss the topic or context behind it. We already did the Pilot topic. There was no racism there. Even your verbiage did not indicate he is a racist; it only points to controversies because he discusses sensitive topics. Statements made by Charlie Kirk that have been noted and criticized for their content regarding race and ethnicity includeThe quote did not say "that are racist" |

bayelsaowei:He’s both simultaneously the best truth sayer but at the same time his words can’t be taken at face value because he usually “doesn’t really mean it like that”. This is the guy entrusted with the nuclear codes that can actually end the world. What a frigging shame that these plebs can’t recognize how low they’ve sunk in their defense of him. There’s no mental recovery for them I fear. |

This is why all the faux outrage about preserving women’s spaces from the right never resonated with me. Historically right wingers have always been anti women and will always be. It’s literally in the definition of their ideology. Conservatives: conserving all the old ways of doing things including subjugating women! In the last four years, 8 women in the United States were killed by undocumented immigrants. Eight. Meanwhile about 70 women are murdered every single month by their male partners, most of them American citizens. |

Court rules that a teacher has a right to make her silent prayer within the school compound . https://www.wnd.com/2026/03/ban-no-basis-law-landmark-ruling-affirms-teachers/ The principal had banned her from praying where she could influence students who saw her praying. Another waste of a courts time. J |

Bwahhahahahha This is literally what is going on. Cabinet secretaries looking like clowns because they are too scared not to wear shoes Trump bought them by guessing their shoe size. Even nuttier is that they just don't buy the same shoes that fit. They must wear the oversized shoes because Trump got them for them. If they are this scared of him, what type of real advice can they give him?

Trump's mind is all the way gone. It's not just that he's lying, it's that he's lying about things that are readily apparent he is lying about and doesn't seem to understand that. 7 US soldiers died and 100's more wounded because the US Military went out on an 'excursion'. His command of English is just as good as Benalvino's.
