He's being lionized as a hero of the Republicans,\nwhich reveals the true racist character of these U.S. power holders that\nthey have hidden for decades behind a thin veil of 'tolerance.' Republican\nVirginia governor Glenn Younkin attended a gathering in memory of Kirk on\nSept 25th where he expressed that Kirk left a \"blueprint\" for young\nconservatives to follow, and pledged $100K to Kirk's Neo-Nazi Turning Point\nUSA organization to set up chapters in Va.\n\nKirk was the sanitized political version of Dylann Roof, the young white\nloner who shot nine Black parishioners to death in 2015 during a Bible\nstudy class in Charleston, SC's Mother Emanuel Church. In Kirk was, and is\nnow in death, FAR more dangerous than Roof, because his agenda was and is\nbeing used to revitalized a culture from not so long ago where the MAJORITY\nof white Amerika were people just like Dylann Roof. Where Amerika was a\nsociety where Blacks weren't just murdered in their churches and homes, but\nentire white communities routinely gathered to carry out festive gruesome\nmurders (lynchings) of Blacks and distributed their body parts - with\nespecial emphasis on genitalia - as mementos, and white mobs invaded and\nburned entire Black communities to the ground while gang raping Black girls\nand women and randomly killing Blacks. This is the history that MAGA\nproponents and the Charlie Kirks are driving a movement to erase and remove\nfrom schools and libraries, in furtherance of their agendas to revive this\nhistory. Indeed ,THIS is the very meaning of MAGA (\"Make Amerika Great\nAgain\"). Meaning, bring back that old openly racist, sexist, white male\nsupremacist Amerika, where no one except the dominant white male class had\na voice and power, and openly repressed and murdered those who even\nbreathed a whisper of defiance. This is the \"great\" Amerika they want to\nsee \"again.\"\n\nThe whole anti-DEI movement is blatant white male supremacy writ large.\nThis is only a new euphemism (in times past they called it \"Manifest\nDestiny\" and \"Mission Civilastrace\"), that allows it to be promoted openly\nand to attack its critics as racists - the typical dysfunctional defense\nmechanism of 'deflection' is now a conservative political strategy.\n\nIn this moment of heroizing the slain Neo-Nazi Kirk, not a word of\ncriticism is being allowed to be uttered about him. Those who have simply\nposted or pointed to his own racist and sexist utterings and views have\nbeen fired from jobs, ridiculed in the press and social media, faced\npressure from top power holders in the government, and have been used as\nheads on spikes dotting the landscape to warn others to keep quiet lest\nthey suffer the same attacks for expressing free and honest speech.\nYet these conservatives claim that Kirk embodied the ideals of free and\nopen political debate and expression and holding his views up against those\nof his opponents, so he should be emulated. His death is also being\ndenounced by them as an evil act of political violence which they claim to\noppose. Yet, they are openly repressing his critics. Wow!\n\nOne wonders then, why I am now sitting and suffering abuses in the SC\nprison system, including being held incommunicado, in the IMMEDIATE wake of\nand response to publishing articles exposing abuses in Va prisons and its\nhigh level administrators lying to the public to conceal those conditions?\n\nNot only was my transfer to SC in retaliation for those articles and what\nis supposed to be protected free expression, but SC prison officials have\nretaliated each time I've written anything critical about them, and they've\nbeen trying to murder me by medical\/dental neglect, refusing and delaying\nme treatment for an abscessed tooth for several months now, and lying to\ncover up their actions.\n\nI've been a recognized political activist for decades, and was profiled as\na domestic terrorist by federal and Va agencies in 2009, BECAUSE of their\nown statement that my written views and articles have often proven\npersuasive in educating the public and leading them to criticize the U.S.\nlaw enforcement and prison system, and \"promoting a brotherhood of the\noppressed philosophy.\"\n\nSo, a Neo-Nazi is a hero for espousing his views and challenging opponents,\nbut I am designated a terrorist and face continued retaliation and\ncensorship, including being targeted by the state with violence (political\nviolence), for espousing my views, and simply reporting the truth about the\nabuses suffered by America's imprisoned and holding my UNIFYING political\nviews up against the existing standards of the status quo, which has a tiny\ngroup of predatory rich exploiting everyone else. Clearly a racial and\npolitical double standard.\n\nHow many of our independent Black leaders have suffered political\npersecution and violence, and were murdered BY THE AMERIKAN GOVERNMENT for\nusing their tongues? - Fred Hampton, George Jackson, Malcolm X, Martin\nLuther King, Jr, and the list goes on. NONE of them were memorialized as\nwith Kirk, because they weren't white Nazis. In fact they were opponents of\nNazism, and were murdered for challenging America's white racist capitalist\nstatus quo. Indeed, the formal commemoration of their memories many years\nafter their deaths, which the MAGA movement is trying to erase today, were\nthe results of Black folks fighting for decades to have them remembered.\n\nIn this period of the resurgence of open and unapologetic white supremacy\nand the Nazification of America, they must invent heroes like Kirk,\nshielding and hiding his deviant views, and pretending he was an innocent\nvictim of some sinister killer. Kirk and his Turning Point USA group\nembodied, propagated and united to revive everything everything hateful\nthat Amerika was built upon and has stood for (genocide, white male\nsupremacy, sexism, lynching, slavery, racial mass imprisonment, capitalism\nand every form of divisiveness and discrimination devisable to target and\nplaying them against each other), while trying to hide behind lies, red\nherrings and mudslinging.\n\nThis is the history of hate that the MAGA movement wants to erase while\npromoting a new generation of Neo-Nazis like Kirk and Turning Point USA.\nWe must expose them for what they are, fearlessly counter them, and stop\ntheir grabs for power.\n\nDare to Struggle Dare to Win!\nAll Power to the People!\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEMORIALIZING A NEO-NAZI: THE COMMEMORATION OF CHARLIE KIRK (2025) By Kevin &#8220;Rashid&#8221; Johnson For weeks now, the mainstream U.S. media has been awash with coverage and accolades about Charlie Kirk, a racist ultra-right young fascist who was shot to death on Sept 10, 2025.
