Oga, be serious.

Respecting the dead is a cliché we Africans use so that "bad" things are not spoken about us when we die and memories are being dredged up. So we "respect the dead" so the we too are respected.

This Charles Kirk is an American statistic to us. He lived and he died. He was foolish and many like him come along.

China suffered humiliation from the Western world, starting with the Opium Wars to this decade. They carried this as a national mental posture that needed to be exorcised.

We Africans have been humiliated for 500 years. The US empire is dying. Charlie Kirk is a celebration of what the US of A has been for over 250 years. The gloves are out. The thrashing during death spiral has began.

We need to get this space the US occupies in our head out of the way, because the US takes up too much oxygen. Then we should ask, where are we headed?

If we started thinking of Africa as a country, and pushed back on the idea that the territories that were curved up during the Berlin Conference are anything to protect, that would be the first step.

If then we started thinking of ourselves as regions and looking at what makes the regions unique, not different, unique, that would be the second step. Only then will we build infrastructure that connects us.

I have watched the Sahel states and I have watched Ethiopia. They are both thinking different from the rest of us. Let us watch them some more then we exchange notes.

PAY ATTENTION!

You are a retard, for one he never said that secondly degenerate liberal scum like you will get their hands on guns, regardless if they are banned….. that way, no one is able to defend themselves. You are also the ones that scream defund the police. You are a lawless morally bankrupt movement who seeks nothing but death. You have God to deal with.

You are emotional you are hurt. I understand he must have meant a lot to your movement and ideology when I scanned your page. This is a really painful blow for you and your folks. However unfortunately, facts don't care about your feelings. He did say everything I stated.

A quick google search would have prevented you from making this assertion but denial is part of how you are able to perpetuate your ideology as he also practiced selective memory and denial of fact. Due to the fact you are probably too distraught to do this search I have provided both sources below with date and location he said these things so that you and anyone reading this can verify.

Charlie Kirk on empathy:

"So the new communications strategy for Democrats, now that their polling advantage is collapsing in every single state… collapsing in Ohio. It's collapsing even in Arizona. It is now a race where Blake Masters is in striking distance. Kari Lake is doing very, very well. The new communications strategy is not to do what Bill Clinton used to do, where he would say, "I feel your pain." Instead, it is to say, "You're actually not in pain." So let's just, little, very short clip. Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It was all about empathy and sympathy. I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy. That's a separate topic for a different time.

On the same day, Kirk shared (archived) additional thoughts on Twitter about people allegedly lecturing him about the word "empathy," writing:

The same people who lecture you about 'empathy' have none for the soldiers discharged for the jab, the children mutilated by Big Medicine, or the lives devastated by fentanyl pouring over the border.

Spare me your fake outrage, your fake science, and your fake moral superiority."

Kirk genuinely said these words during an Oct. 12, 2022, episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show." A longer clip of the same remarks also circulated on the same day in a popular post (archived) on X, then known as Twitter. (The remarks begin around the 36:40 mark of the full episode of Kirk's show, hosted on Rumble.)

Charlie Kirk on gun deaths:

At a Turning Point USA event in Salt Lake City, Utah, in April 2023, Charlie Kirk defended the Second Amendment by saying: “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” He argued that the preservation of gun rights outweighs the toll of firearm deaths, framing them as an unfortunate but acceptable price for maintaining constitutional freedoms.

Everyone reading this can verify these details.

I don't tell stories. I don't disrespect the dead with lies to smear them as your folks do to every black man and woman murdered by cops or vigilantes in cold blood.

I deal in cold facts, whatever they may reveal about the truth. The man was very clear about his beliefs so you can either choose to believe him or not.

How, according to you, I then became a liberal (laughable if you actually knew me as I couldn't be further from that) is a sign of your inability to deal with reality and your only recourse is to use pre-determined labels set up for you folks to throw at anyone who doesn't agree with you. How on earth did this become a gun control thread? Or a police thread?

You are hurting I know. I wish you and your people well because this is devastating. He was a shining star of the movement and the way he was taken out is disgusting for any human who has the empathy he believed was dangerous. The empathy he didn't have for others that look like me.

Take a look too the men in the mirror you sir are destroying Krik his legacy he want people to have guns shoe he sid it him self (some gun deaths 'worth it' in order to have Second Amendment ) ore did he mean only children and outher poeple not himself. Walk it like you talk it. Hating others but when your own retoric comes nocking you cry wolf where is your outrage over al the school shootings and killings off innocent kids? hmm i hoop they play all of his words of hate at his own funeral. Wishing hate illness and dead for others till it comes to your door. Im just living by Krik his own words and and believes and honoring his own wish just like he sid it and wished itfor others. Stop the White on white crime.

And Krik has satan to deal with because he was a very very bad human being but you sir loved him wright with all off his hate and evilnes to others thats who and what you are sir.

What do you mean you are not DEI? So you are against disabilities? What are you against DEI exactly? Are you pro anti DEI? I don’t believe you are any of that , just want to start that conversation with you…

I need to put that quote in Candace's comment section where he's practically reached sainthood status among the commenters! Interesting ironies at play with the second amendment piece and how things ended for him. Hmmm.

Key is what you said about what he represents and that's the draw to make him a martyr.
