NY Times’ Hannah-Jones criticizes ‘unsettling’ efforts to honor Charlie Kirk

The correspondent of the New York Times and the author of the 1619 project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, described the efforts of public figures to cry and venerate Charlie Kirk after his “disturbing” assassination in a test on Sunday.

After Kirk was assassinated during a USA turning point in Utah campus earlier this month, Hannah-Jones accused some political democrats and centrists to “align” to honor someone with “extremist” opinions.

“”[I]n The wake of Kirk’s death, individuals and institutions across the country have made trips not only to condemn his murder and political violence, but to venerate him. He was disturbing for many to see politicians of all the political spectrum speaking with the respect of a man who married the great racist replacement theory, who maintains that white Americans are systematically replaced by multiculturalism and by brown and black immigrants, “wrote Hannah-Jones.

She added that Kirk “argued that blacks commit more crime than whites” and that Islam “is not compatible with Western civilization”.

Hannah-Jones also rejected efforts to celebrate Kirk as a champion of freedom of expression, claiming that they would lead to “the interest of former exemptions”.

“While the Trump administration warns the widest attack on civil rights in a century, and the shared societal values ​​of multiculturalism and tolerance is retreating, using the talent of Kirk for a vigorous argument to excuse the re-emergence of the shameless sectarian in traditional politics feels both frightening and perilous,” wrote Hannah-Jones.

She argued that praising Kirk’s desire to debate peacefully and to maintain discourse with political opponents neglects the people of the black and transgender community “directly targeted” by the rhetoric of the activist.

“At a time when the President of the United States used his power to continue diversity efforts and engage in a mass deportation project, some progressives argue that people of colored, immigrants and members of other marginalized groups who felt dehumanized by Kirk’s comments, podcasts and debates wrote.
