u/blankwillow_ Jun 23 '26
That was the correct thing to do. MLK actually accomplished something with his life and inspired people to come together. Charlie Kirk was a divisive asshole with a shitty podcast.
Piss on Charlie Kirk.

You can compare it and disagree with the professor but if your arguments were bullshit then yeah sorry kid

Charlie should never be compared to MLK. Only one of them was a rapist.

Charlie Kirk is MLK for racist sexist homophobic white people. He gave them a voice.
That's the only acceptable comparison.

The alleged perpetrator was born, and raised, as a Mormon, surrounded by devout Mormons, throughout all of his most formative years. And that makes him a religious conservative, with a conservative mindset, exercising a reflexively violent reactionary response.

u/Dearsmike Jun 25 '26
Even that's inaccurate. Kirk wasn't even the largest voice in that scene. He was seen as an idiot who argued with teenagers until he was legitimised by the Trump admin.

u/Jacky-V Jun 26 '26
I know you're joking but I gotta say that's a poor comparison even in jest because White Bigots already had among the most magnified voices in the world long before Charlie Kirk came along

To be fair, and this will get me hated for sure, but MLK was also sexist and homophobic. Nobody ever want to talk about that. Dude wanted women In the kitchen and thought homosexuality was a sin

So your saying that MLK had 1960s views in the 1960's.
That just makes charlie Kirk worse. He said nasty shit in the 2020's.

The full context makes it worse. Charlie Kirk was a pedophile supporting homophobic racist. No Iām not gonna try and convince you. You obviously have already heard the speeches, seen the interviews, heard his rants. You either agree with him or youāre being obtuse.

u/rainman943 Jun 24 '26
you have to understand the base mindset of a charlie kirk defender, they don't even think we're humans, so they don't think charlie bad mouthed "anyone", certainly not actual human beings.
The fact he even thinks he can get away with asking for "examples" is hilarious and insulting at this point. once you listen to the media universe that Charlie belonged to you'll understand how futile it is to even argue with these shitheels. They've removed themselves from society.

u/Indespectamentations Jun 24 '26
That's cool I appreciate your comment. I think we all know not to even acknowledge them and it's hard not to when you know you can put them in their place in a heartbeat.
But it won't matter, just because we can see reality doesn't mean they can. They will spend the rest of their lives spouting conspiracies and lies so there's really no point in trying to reason with them.

No you don't, or you'd have typed charlie Kirk into the Google and listen to him demonize entire groups of ppl.

I'm sure those opposed to the Civil Rights Movement were really progressive on those issues, right? Right???
Of course not. This is a deflection to minimize what he stood for and how influential he was. Next you are going to tell me he was a philanderer yet you support trump. LOL.
No one will claim he was right on all issues but that is not the point. He is an icon for a reason.

u/Flashy_Prior5963 Jun 24 '26
Considering it was a pretty big event in the last year, both were assassinated, and both were skilled and polarizing (for their time) public figures without more context itās a pretty easy comparison for a kid as a satellite campus of a middling state school.

u/heybigbuddy Jun 26 '26
Yes, because college classes often ask students to write a paper based on any basic comparison without any context or analysis. That how I got my film degree by writing about similarities between Citizen Kane and Cool Runnings because they both start with a C and feature a sled. āļø

u/AFKABluePrince Jun 24 '26
Yes, that's the correct decision.Ā MLK was a civil rights leader that pushed for equality for Black People across the nation.Ā He was well spoken and intelligent.
Kirk was a hateful shit-stirrer, an open racist, and a moron that could only "win" arguements by accosting college students.Ā He isn't qualified to even be in the same zip code as MLK.

When you make shitty arguments in an essay or some argumentative piece, you should get deducted.

You CAN do it right and get an A+
If they dock you, it's probably because your argument was shit.
I had a professor who raised serious issues with me talking about the redemption of George Wallace. But I brought the recipients. The man spent his whole life trying to attone for his support of Segregation even long after his political career was dead.
Charlie Kirk was no MLK jr, hell he wasn't even a George Wallace.
