Charlie Kirk & the underbelly of Mainstream American Culture
Charlie Kirk's sudden death has created a political firestorm amongst Liberals & Conservatives, but [Indigenous] Black America has remained silent for the most part. Content Creators pointed out 'Chickens coming Home to Roost', but NO ONE can show Blackfolk either celebrating or shedding any tears over his demise. For the Record, I didn't follow Charlie Kirk. I didn't find anything about him particularly special; i'm old enough to remember the rise of David Duke & Richard Spencer. Charlie Kirk was just the latest avatar of that ideology. Black Americans know that Charlie wasn't the first to spout his rhetoric, & he won't be the last.
The irony of his death wasn't lost on The Family; Charlie was a strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment. He famously expressed his belief that innocent gun victims are an acceptable sacrifice of Gun Rights. He is also known for spouting Anti- Black American stereotypes & citing false data; He quoted folks like Thomas Sowell to support his rhetoric. Charlie Kirk regarded empathy as 'a New Age invention'. He referred to MLK as a 'Bad Person', & was against Civil Rights & Reparations. Like David Duke & Richard Spencer, Charlie Kirk used a Trick Bag of polite tones & semantics, wrapped in Judeo- Christian Values to spew his rhetoric.
Charlie had a Hard On for Black Crime Stats. He regularly talked about '13- 50'- his Stat that Black America represents 13% of the population, but accounts for 50% of the murders in America. Charlie pushed a narrative of Blackfolk targeting Whitefolk, but he NEVER provided his sources; FBI Crime Stats show White Men commit most of the murders & violent crimes against Whitefolk in America. Black 'Conviction Rates' tend to be higher, because Whitefolk don't rely on Court appointed Attorneys as much as Blackfolk. His 'per Capita' Stats never include Mass Shootings in predominantly White Areas. The fact that Kirk was shot down by someone that looked like him, while he was trying to shift a question about Mass Shootings (a White on White Crime event) to a Gang Violence narrative, is a text book example of Ironic.
Social Media Platforms are showing a number of Liberals celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, but Conservatives & 'Christians' feel a need to point their fingers at Blackfolk. Why was it even necessary to increase security at HBCUs? For some reason, Melanated Immigrants feature prominently in this finger wagging. Charlie himself didn't respect empathy, so why is Our Collective Indifference such a problem? We are being admonished for ignoring the tragedy of Charlie Kirk's death & the trauma his Wife & Children experienced. We are being less than 'Christ- like' when We refuse to let go of the vile sentiment that this man had for Our Community. Most of Us are giving Charlie the same sympathy that he gave George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jordan Neely & Sonia Massey... I wonder why Our Collective Sentiment is so important to so many?
When We sum it up, Indigenous Black Americans come from The Soil of North America- We know America better than ANYONE ELSE. We were Here when America was formed, & were instrumental in its rise from 13 Colonies, to a dominant World Power. We were disenfranchised over & over, but We still dared to scratch out a niche for Ourselves. We saw the double standard first hand; European Immigrants were given Land & Resources, while Blackfolk were forced to find Our own way. When We progressed faster than Whitefolk, Our Towns & Enclaves were burned, flooded, & looted. America was declared 'A White Man's Country', & Black Excellence was a threat to their Agenda. The Mantra 'Fear of Black Rule' motivated waves of White Terrorists in EVERY STATE.
Black America wasn't taken seriously, so Whitefolk weren't discreet around Us. We got to see a part of American Culture that Immigrants don't learn about in Citizenship Class. We saw how White America fights among themselves, when they don't have anyone else to fight. Despite their differences, they are able to come together when it comes to Us. The Wealthy made covenants w/ Poor Whites, in return for their assistance in promoting Anti- Black Agendas (Black Codes, Jim Crow). The New Deal was such a covenant. FDR feared Poor Whitefolk were on the verge of revolt during the Great Depression & told the Wealthy to either 'Share the Wealth', or risk losing it All. The majority of Black America was exempted, while this legislation literally created the White Middle Class out of thin air. Poor Whites, along w/ Irish, Italian, & Eastern European Immigrants (Slav & Ashkenazi) moved from 'Inner City' Tenements to Suburban Enclaves.
Black American Tax Dollars were used to pave roads & lay out City Grids in Suburbia, while Black Neighborhoods were starved of resources- transforming them into 'Ghettos' & Slums. City Planners like Robert Moses ran Expressways through thriving Black Communities [Nationwide], via Imminent Domain & Tax Liens. Many of these Suburban Towns promoted 'Deed Covenants' that forbade Blackfolk from becoming Home Owners; they STILL EXIST in places like Levittown & Yaphank, N.Y. The residents of Suburbia lived in a bubble of White Privilege, while they pointed at Black Communities struggling under Benign Neglect. Many of the 'Melanated Immigrants' w/ so much opinion about the State of Black America entered the Country around this Time.
These were the 'Blackfolk' that were allowed into areas that Indigenous Black Americans were barred from. In New York, Towns like: Baldwin, Baychester, Cambria Heights, Flatbush, Laurelton, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Richmond Hill, Rosedale, & Uniondale are literal Caribbean Enclaves; in My Childhood, We weren't welcome in those areas. When these people cosign Charlie Kirk's Anti- Black American rhetoric, they're literally slapping Us in the face, while riding on Our shoulders. They aspired to live the 'American Dream', & didn't take the time to fully understand what made their pursuit possible. MLK lamented 'integrating Us into a Burning House'. Immigrants may not understand the reference, but those from 'The Soil' do... Proximity to Whiteness comes w/ pitfalls.
Through the U.S. Information & Educational Exchange Act, (later renamed the Smith- Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 by Barack Obama) the U.S. Government painted a rose colored Global image of America as 'The Land of Milk & Honey'. America's true face- 'AmeriKKKa', is a land of 'Dog eat Dog'. Capitalism, in its purist form, doesn't recognize Race; it preys on the Poor & Less Fortunate, regardless of Race. Bacon's 'Rebellion of 1676 taught the Wealthy that the Poor must be kept separate. The Covenant between Poor Whites & the Wealthy begins here. Conservatives like to speak about the Global phenomenon of Slavery, but never have an answer when We distinguish American Chattel Slavery from all others.
Blackfolk were reduced to Property, to feed the egos of Poor Whites, who were being oppressed by Wealthy Whites. They were told: 'As bad as your situation is, at least you're not Black'. Poor Whites projected their frustration on Us (e.g. Lynchings, Domestic Terrorism, Town Burnings), but they really want to strike the Wealthy- this explains the popularity of Luigi Mangione. On a larger scale, the Wealthy have the same contempt for Europe that Poor Whites have for them; for a lot of the same reasons. The Wealthy fled Europe to seek a better life in America, but those who can, try to expand their influence in their 'Mother Country'. The current calamity in Europe can in some part be attributed to the influence of American Billionaires in Europen Politics.
America is unique, in that it's an [Occupying ] Nation of 'Poor & Downtrodden' People that imported their Culture of Peasantry & Criminality w/ them. America touts itself as a 'Beacon of Democracy', but American Culture is based in Feudalism. The fact that a Class- based Heirarchy is pushed as 'democratic' is one thing; the fact that it's socially acceptable is another. Poor Whitefolk move like they understand their place on AmeriKKKa's Totem Pole. They accept their subsidies, & act accordingly. The White Middle Class on the other hand, forgot that they are the product of 'Government Handouts'. People like Charlie Kirk attribute the State of Black America to decades of 'Infantilization', by way of Government Programs; they're remarkably silent when We point out how the same can be said of the WW 2 & Baby Boomer Generations on their side of the Tracks. The New Deal & the G.I. Bill allowed 'Depression Era' Whitefolk to climb the Socioeconomic Ladder. They went to College, purchased Homes, & started Businesses- All w/ Government assistance.
When Richard Nixon took the Dollar off the Gold Standard, the 1st cracks began to appear. While Black America struggled under Inflation & a lack of Local, State & Federal Resources, the White Middle Class were introduced to Credit Cards & 2nd Mortgages to 'Ride the Storm'. Over the next 30Yrs, they became as addicted to Cocaine, Credit Lines, & Pharmaceuticals, as they say We were to Welfare, Crack, & Heroin. The Grandchildren of these Suburban Baby Boomers are the ones shooting up Schools; last time I checked, many had Fathers in the Home. The FBI's Crime Stats show that Violent Crime in Black Communities fall w/ a rise in Income. The same can't be said for Whitefolk; if anything, their Crime Rate RISES w/ Income. I guess it's a matter of how much trouble can you 'afford' to get into? Folks like Charlie & Ben Shapiro go out of their way to avoid this aspect of White American Culture.
Charlie Kirk's death is a big deal, because he became the 'New Face' of the Silent Majority. Like Donald Trump, he said the quiet part out loud. Kirk emboldens White Youth the same way that Trump emboldens their Parents. These are the People that tell Blackfolk to 'Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps', but the U.S. Government has been pulling up their boots since the Great Depression. During that period, Irish, Jewish, & Italian Gangsters ran rampant. THEY created the 'Driveby Shooting' & terrorized their Neighborhoods. White Flight to the Suburbs was motivated by these Gangsters, more than a fear of Blackfolk expanding into their Communities. The Social Programs of FDR & Harry Truman made their Move possible. Their fatal flaw, was White America's collective desire to lock Black America out.
When We talk about the 'Silent Majority', We have to point out how the Table was set for them to succeed w/ little competition. As The World caught up w/ America, these People didn't have another gear to shift into. They tried to keep Blackfolk in check, by creating a 'Pay to Play' environment. Universal Health Care was shot down again & again; The Powers That Be figured a 20% Out Of Pocket cost would keep Blackfolk out of Hospitals. Universities that offered Free Tuition began to charge, in an effort to keep Black Attendance low. Today, Whitefolk that paid little for College are spending tens of thousands per Semester for their Children, & Medical Debt is driving them into Bankruptcy. The lifeline that Credit offered has become a noose; Many of these Households are financially overextended. They hold massive Credit Card Debt, plus 2nd & 3rd Mortgages on their Homes- all in an effort to fake the 'American Dream'.
Black America has seen this Story before. When White America becomes financially distressed, they turn violent. The Wealthy understand that they are the target of any frustration, so they provide distractions that allow them to kick the proverbial 'Can down the Road'. Their Think Tanks have produced many 'Thought Leaders' of the Silent Majority over the last 50Yrs. Charlie Kirk liked to brag that he 'founded' Turning Point USA (fresh out of High School), but he was financed by the Usual Suspects. Ironically, despite their [deep] dislike of each other- the Main Agenda of both the Wealthy & Poor, is keeping Blackfolk collectively as an Underclass. This goes back to that Original Covenant between White America's Wealthy & Poor. The Poor were given Land, in return for assisting Wealthy Owners w/ regulating the Enslaved, & protecting their Assets. Poor Whites graduated from Indentured Servants to Overseers; later Militiamen & Police Officers.
As the number of Slave Revolts rose, Property Owners became more concerned w/ protecting their Property. The 'Right to Bear Arms' became a Rallying Call. The 2nd Amendment was created as a measure to protect Property Owners from future Slave Revolts & attacks by 'Wild [Black] Indians'. From this, came the rise of Militias; Property Owners needed a Civilian Force that remained Armed & Ready for this Event. The Colonizers KNEW that they were aggressors on a Foreign Land, & the Indigenous Population were Warriors- they weren't laying down & letting Europeans take what they want without a fight. Post Slavery, the 'Right to Bear Arms' became a necessary Law to keep Whitefolk ready for the prospect of a 'Negro (Black) Uprising'.
In this Day & Age, the 2nd Amendment STILL STANDS as a preventative measure against this supposed 'Black Uprising'. The Problem arises from the need to give every White Person a Gun. 'White Privilege' gave most of White America a protective measure against competition. We have to acknowledge the fact that pockets of Whitefolk KNOW real hardship & struggle. The Problem is historically, these were the Stormtroopers of White Supremacy. The Wealthy & their Vassals gaslit these Folks to act on their feelings of inadequacy in the face of Black American success. Guns were made available to them for the purpose of regulating Blackfolk, but when there are no Black People to regulate, they turn them on each other.
This is where Charlie Kirk comes in. His narrative of Blackfolk targeting Whitefolk necessitates a 'White Civilian Militia', & a continuation of 2nd Amendment Rights. Unfortunately, Delineation has kept Blackfolk out of Mainstream Politics, so White Supremacists can't blame Us for the assorted Demonstrations occurring Nationwide. Conservatives pointed at Washington D.C., Chicago, NYC, & LA- pushing for National Guard deployments, but don't seem to have an answer for the dozens of School Shootings happening in predominantly White Areas (This Year). Charlie thought that Collateral Damage was an acceptable drawback of the 2nd Amendment, & ultimately became a Collateral Damage Statistic. Whitefolk are literally crashing out trying to find a reason to blame Blackfolk for a 'White On White' Crime Event in Utah. To date, the alleged Shooter, Tyler Robinson has been 'uncooperative' & Conspiracy Theorists are having a field day w/ possible scenarios... I personally think that he is a 'Patsy'.
Several Independent Journalists have said that Charlie Kirk may have been the victim of an Israeli Assassination. According to these Sources, Kirk turned down a 'Turning Point USA' cash infusion ($150M) from Benjamin Netanyahu; and like Marjorie Taylor Greene, he began to speak out against Israel. Rumor also has it that he was 'scared'. Is it possible that Charlie Kirk didn't want to Sell Out his young followers (anymore) & feared the repercussions? Social Media is abuzz w/ talk of a 'Civil War' between Conservatives & Liberals, but it looks more like a battle is brewing between Christian Zionists & Garden Variety White Supremacists. In my Essay: 'Reaching beyond their grasp', I touched on dispensationalism & why Christian Zionists are Pro- Israel. AIPAC's hold over Congress is starting to bother the 'Cracker Barrel Crowd'. The U.S. is spending Billions of Dollars in Israel, while American Farmers & Laborers are feeling the brunt of Donald Trump's Tariffs.
The Zionists were brilliant in their Plan for America. As Hollywood Studio Heads, they control the Storyline/ Narrative. As the Owners of Mainstream Media, they control the flow of Information. As Bankers, they control the flow of Funds. As Politicians & Lobbyists, they control Legislation. They cosplay Orthodox Jews, but are cut from the same cloth as Benjamin Netanyahu & Vladimir Putin. White America turned a blind eye to their exploits, as long as they were living The American Dream. The Whole Country is struggling now, & Whitefolk simply aren't used to this. Some can handle Bad Times better than others; it becomes a Recipe for Disaster, when these Folks have guns at their disposal. Charlie Kirk may have changed his tune on Israel, but he was a staunch supporter for the better part of a decade. That said, Charlie offended MANY GROUPS & Tyler Robinson is [already] being painted as a 'Leftist Radical'. I can't help but wonder: When Schoolchildren can commit Mass Shootings in tribute to previous School Shooters, what are the Adults thinking about?
