I have consistently seen and read threads by people here declaring how some black "liberal" got destroyed by one of these right wing talkers in debates. The latest is one here claiming Charlie Kirk destroyed a black guy for saying that whites need to take responsibility for their racism. Never mind the fact that Kirk was debating a teenage boy, the boy was right.
Charlie Kirk is arguing with children who have not studied the full impact of white racism.
Let's see what adults have to say.

THE VIOLENCE OF WHITE RACISM
“Bryant-Davis and Ocampo (2005) noted similar courses of psychopathology between rape victims and victims of racism. Both events are an assault on the personhood and integrity of the victim. Similar to rape victims, race-related trauma victims may respond with disbelief, shock, or dissociation, which can prevent them from responding to the incident in a healthy manner. The victim may then feel shame and self-blame because they were unable to respond or defend themselves, which may lead to low self-concept and self-destructive behaviors. In the same study, a parallel was drawn between race-related trauma victims and victims of domestic violence. Both survivors are made to feel shame over allowing themselves to be victimized. For instance, someone who may have experienced a racist incident may be told that if they are polite, work hard, and/or dress in a certain way, they will not encounter racism. When these rules are followed yet racism persists, powerlessness, hyper vigilance, and other symptoms associated with PTSD may develop or worsen.”

So what we see here is that 2 highly accredited professionals in the field of psychology have stated that people who face racism endure the same type of psychological damage as victims of rape. Rape is considered a violent crime. But white racism is dismissed by whites, specifically conservative Republicans, as some minor occurrance that can be stopped by just not mentioning race.
But in reality white racism is a violent behavior. So if black men are responsible for stopping our violence, the kid that called out Kirk is correct in saying that whites are responsible for ending the violence they practice against us. That kid beat Kirk, but this should be expected because Charlie Kirk is an uneducated moron with zero talent who is cashing in on white grievance.
