#onthisday For years, the American far right has pushed a politics of fear about who belongs in this country—Black Americans portrayed as threats, immigrants described as an “invasion,” naturalized Americans treated as somehow less American, and even citizenship itself becoming a political battleground. Charlie Kirk helped mainstream that environment. He promoted “great replacement” rhetoric, claimed native-born Americans were being “replaced by foreigners,” made inflammatory generalizations about Black people, attacked DEI, and even called passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “huge mistake.” And these ideas have material consequences. Immigration enforcement has swept up people without criminal convictions and, in some documented cases, U.S. citizens; the federal government has also expanded denaturalization efforts, while naturalized citizens report sharply increased fears about detention and deportation. That’s why this conversation cannot begin and end with sympathy for one political figure. You cannot normalize dehumanization, racial hierarchy and political violence when they’re aimed at somebody else—then act shocked when political violence consumes your own movement. Black people have been warning America about that cycle for generations. So when exactly did the violence become unacceptable—when it was directed at marginalized communities, or only when it finally reached Charlie Kirk? #CharlieKirk #WhiteSupremacy #PoliticalViolence #AuthenticBlackAmerican
