What are you stupid? No one is talking about the 1st Amendment. What we ARE talking about is personal responsibility. You asked what generation I am from? I am from the generation where we never knew you were supposed to wear helmets to ride bikes. That same generation knew that WORDS got your ass kicked. If you came home and told your dad that you called some kid a(insert racial epithet) and got your ass kicked, he would simply ask you what did you learn. Your parents weren't running up to your school saying, "but words".
When I was a kid you didn't turn on tv and see anyone, anywhere saying the hateful shit Charlie Kirk said. You also didn't have the got-damned President of the United States saying divisive shit while addressing the nation.
Words have always been the catalyst to violence. Always. Right wing media is saying that Kirk got popped because the left was calling him a Nazi and White Supremacist. Well, the simple solution is don't say White Supremacist/Nazi shit.
Kirk said this-"If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified'"
That statement IS White Supremacy. He wouldn't wonder if a White pilot is qualified because the pilot is White. Both pilots got their pilot's license from the same place, but because he sees the black pilot as inferior, he would question his qualification. Someone who was not a White Supremacist would say, "Gee, I hope ANY pilot is qualified".
Kirk is dead because HE continued spouting rhetoric like this. He could've stopped at any time. It's not our responsibility to not categorize his rhetoric, it's his responsibility to control what comes out of his mouth. We literally use these same principles everywhere else. When we hear a rapper got shot and killed because he wore a bunch of jewelry in the hood what do we say? Opposing sports fan being a douche in the wrong section what do we say? At some point the onus is on you. I am not going to stop calling people White Supremacist when I literally have dudes doing Nazi Salutes at the Inauguration for the President of the United States of America.
