The Confrontation Over American Lives Matter
Charlie Kirk stood on a college campus wearing a shirt that read "American Lives Matter," and it didn't take long before a student approached to question his intentions. The student demanded to know what message Kirk was trying to send by wearing the shirt, suggesting it was meant to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement. Kirk responded directly: he believes Americans should be put above foreigners, and yes, he was intentionally appropriating the phrase from Black Lives Matter. He clarified that while BLM isn't a movement he associates with, he believes all lives matter—whether you're Black American, Hispanic American, or any other American.
The student then accused Kirk of trying to eliminate the Black Lives Matter movement and asked whether he would recognize groups that have been historically marginalized and are asking for the same rights and privileges as white people. Kirk's response was immediate: "What rights do white people have that Black people don't?"
The Challenge to Name Specific Examples
When pressed to identify actual rights that white Americans possess that Black Americans don't, the student struggled. She claimed the issue isn't necessarily written in the law—it's hidden, marginalized, like a ghost that appears and disappears. Kirk pushed back, asking what specific privilege he has as a white person that a Black person doesn't have. What can a white person do in America that a Black person cannot do?
The student's response was vague. She mentioned that while technically Black people can do the same things, their lives may be at risk in certain areas where they might not be accepted because of their race. Kirk then asked her to define racism. She couldn't provide the exact definition but described it as a lack of opportunities because of race and putting a person aside.
Kirk challenged her again: "Can you name a single example in the last 20 years where Blacks were discriminated against on a mass scale where they've been put aside?" The student brought up police brutality and mass incarceration. Kirk countered with a statistic: Black Americans are 13% of the population but commit 55% of murders in America. He asked why that is.
Over-Policing or Personal Responsibility
The student claimed there is over-policing in Black communities, specifically lower-income communities, and that this creates a target on people of color's backs. Kirk dismissed this, pointing out that many cities have actually defunded the police, leading to increased crime rates. He argued that there's under-policing, not over-policing, in lower-income communities.
The student tried to connect economic opportunities to crime, suggesting that when a group doesn't get higher-paying jobs because employers choose white candidates over Black candidates, entire communities become lower income, which is directly related to more crime activity. Kirk asked for a recent example of this happening. The student couldn't provide one.
The Father Question
Kirk then shifted the conversation to what he considers a more fundamental issue: "What percentage of young Blacks have both a mom and a dad raising them?" The student couldn't answer. Kirk provided the statistic: 25%. Only one out of four Black children in America have both a mom and a dad around. He asked whether this is a bigger issue to address than racism, and whether more dads would be a better solution than tackling racism that can't even be seen in our laws.
The student tried to deflect, asking how dads could be directly connected. Kirk explained that when you have a dad around, you're less likely to be violent as a male and less likely to go to prison. When he asked why all the fathers are leaving, the student tried to bring it back to white people. Kirk's response was blunt: "Black women married the government and divorced the men they were once with."
Someone in the crowd shouted that Kirk was racist. He called them out, asking if they were an intellectual coward for shouting from 30 feet away instead of coming to the microphone. He declared: "I'm a realist, not a racist."
Commentary on False Victimhood
The exchange reveals how deeply some students have consumed liberal talking points without the ability to defend them with facts, logic, or specific examples. The student spoke for nearly six minutes without making a single valid point or answering any of Kirk's direct questions. She couldn't name a right that white people have that Black people don't. She couldn't provide a recent example of discrimination. She couldn't explain why crime statistics are what they are beyond blaming over-policing.
This is what happens when people are fed rhetoric without evidence, when they memorize talking points without considering whether they actually make sense. Nobody is holding anybody down but themselves. If someone breaks the law, there are repercussions, and they should be held responsible no matter what they look like. It's not an over-policing problem—it's a heart problem that leads people into making poor decisions.
The Real Problem: Absent Fathers
The bigger issue Kirk touched on is the lack of fathers in homes. Marriage between a man and a woman isn't encouraged in secular culture the way it should be and the way it used to be. This has led mothers to depend on the government to raise their kids, and the results speak for themselves. Men need to step back up and do their jobs. They need to be allowed back into the home to do what they're responsible for doing.
Real men are supposed to be spiritual leaders for their families, responsible for protecting and guiding their children in what it means to honor God's word. When that's absent from a child's life, or when it was never present in the first place, things are bound to go down a very dark path. Without fathers serving the role that God created them for, societies start to crumble.
Opportunities Are Greater Than Ever
It's 2024, and the victim card is being played more than ever, yet the opportunities to succeed are greater than ever before, no matter what someone's melanin content is. As long as people keep viewing themselves as marginalized groups, they'll never get ahead. But if you're the kind of individual who recognizes that God created all of us in His image, starting with Adam and Eve, and if you keep Him at the forefront of your life and you're willing to make sacrifices that others won't, that's when real fulfillment and success is found.
Don't get involved with gang banging and stealing. Don't sleep with someone who isn't your spouse. Don't pick up drugs and bottles. Don't hit up strip clubs or dive into porn. Don't skip out on reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Don't neglect staying connected in prayer with our heavenly Father. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it.
The Solution Is God
Proverbs 3:5-8 says: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones."
Psalm 62:7 goes on to say: "On God rests my salvation and my glory. My mighty rock, my refuge is God."
That's the solution. That's the answer. God always above everything, the same yesterday, today, and forever, never changing. This world is passing away. Feelings are fleeting—they fly by the seat of your pants, changing every single day. But God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God is good all the time. All the time, God is good.

[00:00] all right y'all good morning afternoon
[00:02] or evening whenever you're tuning in I'm
[00:04] grateful to have you here and we got my
[00:05] man Charlie Kirk back in the building
[00:08] and if you're a fan of false victimhood
[00:10] then you came to the right place today
[00:12] cuz this right here is a doozy I'll give
[00:14] my thoughts on the back end let's get it
[00:17] popping I noticed you're wearing an
[00:19] American lives matter shirt what is your
[00:22] message to this audience right now by
[00:24] wearing that t-shirt what is your
[00:25] intended message
[00:27] um well I think that we should put
[00:29] American above foreigners um you know
[00:33] that the whole point of you know the
[00:35] movement like that came with lives
[00:38] matter was originally for black lives
[00:40] matter yes I I I'm intentionally
[00:41] appropriating it yeah and are you trying
[00:44] to eliminate the movement black lives
[00:47] matter you trying to not bring attention
[00:48] to it I mean well BLM is not exactly a
[00:52] movement that I would be associated with
[00:53] but I believe all lives matter American
[00:55] lives matter if you're a black American
[00:57] Hispanic American I don't care all all
[00:58] Americans lives matter would you even
[01:00] would you take the time to recognize a
[01:03] group of people that who have been
[01:04] marginalized historically and who are
[01:07] now asking for the same rights the same
[01:10] um the same privileges as white people
[01:13] in the society by wearing by let what
[01:16] rights do white people have that black
[01:18] stone so the issue is it's not
[01:21] necessarily in written in the law oh so
[01:24] it's like hidden that's the whole point
[01:27] that's how marginalizing works it's kind
[01:30] of like it's like a ghost you see it one
[01:32] day and you don't and because you as a
[01:34] white privileged person with money have
[01:38] never what privilege do I as a white
[01:40] person have that a black person doesn't
[01:42] what can a white person do in America
[01:44] that a black person cannot do be
[01:46] specific name one thing so there are so
[01:49] many issues in our societ name one thing
[01:51] no I got to drill you in name one thing
[01:53] a white person can do that a black
[01:56] person cannot do so the issue is racism
[02:00] okay you can technically do it but your
[02:03] life may be put at risk if you are found
[02:06] if you find yourself in certain areas
[02:08] where you might not be accepted by your
[02:11] race and then your life might be iner
[02:13] okay what is racism can you define to me
[02:15] what racism is racism well I don't have
[02:19] the exact description as it is seen in
[02:21] like AP style or like Wikipedia can you
[02:24] just talk on the mic please I'm sorry
[02:25] yeah sorry racism
[02:28] is the lack of opportunities because of
[02:31] a race the kind of like putting a person
[02:34] to a side um so can you name a single
[02:37] example in the last 20 years where
[02:39] blacks were discriminated on Moss where
[02:41] they've been put aside can you give me a
[02:42] specific example you can simply talk
[02:44] about police brutality and over incar
[02:47] mass incarceration what percentage of
[02:49] murders do black Americans commit in
[02:51] America so there you have a point of
[02:54] there is overp policing in Black
[02:57] communities specifically lower income
[02:59] Comm
[03:00] blacks commit murders because of police
[03:02] I'm not talking about murders of police
[03:04] you're twisting my words so why do
[03:06] blacks commit so many murders they don't
[03:09] so they're 133% of the population and
[03:11] they do 55% of the murders in America
[03:13] why so you're not even looking at the
[03:16] background of it there is over policing
[03:18] in lower income communities and there's
[03:20] underp policing in lower income
[03:22] communities number two you're you're
[03:25] trying to say that over policing even if
[03:27] that existed which it doesn't leads to
[03:29] the fact that 13% of the US population
[03:32] accounts for 55% of the
[03:36] murders there is a Target on people of
[03:38] colors's backs okay so when a white
[03:41] person sees a person of color prove it
[03:44] there is studies there is re no no give
[03:46] me give me one example give me one piece
[03:48] of evidence that there's a Target on
[03:51] black people's back in fact I will
[03:52] submit to you there's the opposite black
[03:54] students can get into this college with
[03:56] lower test scores than white students
[03:57] it's called affirmative action so now
[03:59] white people are the people who are
[04:01] struggling are they the marginalized
[04:02] ones I I will go back to this though can
[04:04] you name a specific example of what a
[04:06] black person cannot do that a white
[04:09] person can do and be again specific
[04:11] anything I'm talking about there's so
[04:14] racism as a whole is not written in the
[04:18] law because that's not allowed anymore
[04:20] but it still exists then give me an
[04:23] example there I just told you you said
[04:25] police brutality as your example why do
[04:27] you think blacks encounter police so
[04:29] much they commit more
[04:31] crimes there is just a little bit
[04:34] policing no there's and there's also
[04:36] there's under policing how could you say
[04:38] such a thing we have defunded the police
[04:40] in Philadelphia New York Chicago largely
[04:43] defunded it we saw crime rates go up I
[04:46] also want you to take in mind that when
[04:50] a whole group is there opportunities to
[04:53] succeed economically let's say they
[04:55] don't get that higher paying job because
[04:57] they chose a white person instead of a
[04:59] black person that makes show me an
[05:01] example of where that happened recently
[05:03] that makes an entire Community more
[05:06] prone to being lower income and then
[05:09] that create that is lower lower income
[05:11] communities are directly related to like
[05:14] more crime activity you but let me ask
[05:16] you a question what percentage of young
[05:18] blacks have both a mom and a dad raising
[05:22] them I cannot think of a percentage
[05:25] right now to give you 25% so only one
[05:28] out of four blacks in America have a mom
[05:30] and a dad around do you think that is a
[05:32] bigger issue to address than racism do
[05:36] you think more dads is a better solution
[05:39] or tackling racism which you say you
[05:41] can't even see in our laws how could
[05:44] dads be connected directly like having
[05:47] oh dads are very connected and what
[05:49] about okay when you have a dad around
[05:51] you're less likely to be violent as a
[05:53] male less likely to go to prison and so
[05:55] explain to me why all the fathers are
[05:57] leaving exactly why are they leaving
[06:00] question for you because black women
[06:02] married the government and divorced the
[06:04] men that they were once with talk about
[06:06] talk about white people right now I'm
[06:08] sorry I'm I'm a realist not a racist
[06:11] secondly see you could you come up to
[06:13] the mic and call me a racist in my face
[06:15] are you an intellectual coward and want
[06:16] to shout it from 30 ft away what's wrong
[06:18] with you people I got to keep it real
[06:20] with y'all maybe I'm the only one that
[06:21] Drew this comparison but I thought that
[06:23] girl was Bruno Mars at first how could
[06:25] you not the way that these women dress
[06:27] nowadays with these overly baggy button
[06:30] up Hawaiian te's with glasses and short
[06:32] Dad caps like what are y'all women doing
[06:35] and expecting men to to take from this I
[06:37] mean it's not attractive whatsoever I'm
[06:39] just saying but God bless Charlie for
[06:41] doing the job that these professors are
[06:43] supposed to be doing you know actually
[06:45] challenging these students to think
[06:47] critically and at least try to make them
[06:49] use logic to form conclusive answers but
[06:52] goodness gracious you can only do so
[06:54] much to help these kids especially in
[06:56] this culture that we're living in that's
[06:58] always looking for ways to be offended
[07:00] and find and create new paths to get
[07:03] triggered and in their feelings like
[07:05] your shirt is racist you got white
[07:07] privilege police brutality put a Target
[07:09] on my back there is overp policing
[07:11] people are just out to hold the black
[07:13] people down bull crap if you legally
[07:15] live in America as a citizen then you're
[07:17] privileged we are all privileged and in
[07:19] the case of this video Common Sense
[07:21] should have kicked in and said hey I'm
[07:23] an American so my life is included in
[07:25] that all lives that's written in big
[07:27] bold letters on Charlie shirt but of
[07:29] course that would require actual common
[07:31] sense to have been developed and part of
[07:34] her equation in the first place bless
[07:36] her heart that young woman she needs to
[07:38] turn off CNN Ms DNC and the view which I
[07:41] like to call the spew featuring whoopy
[07:43] gold turds and she needs to step over
[07:45] here into the land of practicality and
[07:47] reasoning because she literally talked
[07:49] for almost six whole minutes without
[07:51] making one valid point or answering any
[07:54] of Charlie's questions you could just
[07:56] tell that she's consumed so much liberal
[07:58] gaslighting that now when she's
[07:59] confronted with Statistics and actual
[08:02] factual nobody's home no original
[08:04] thought to process just rhetoric without
[08:06] evidence she wasn't even listening
[08:08] because she got these talking points
[08:10] memorized and was eager to let them fly
[08:12] without ever considering that hey maybe
[08:14] they make no sense at all maybe what's
[08:16] coming out of my mouth does not add up
[08:18] it's complete foolishness nobody is
[08:19] holding anybody down but themselves if
[08:22] someone breaks the law there's
[08:23] repercussions that happen they should be
[08:25] held responsible no matter what they
[08:27] look like it's not some over policing
[08:28] problem it's a person's heart that has
[08:30] the real problem and that's LED them
[08:32] into making poor decisions which stems
[08:34] from an even bigger problem that was
[08:36] brought up in the video and that's the
[08:38] lack of a righteous father in these
[08:40] homes because marriage between a man and
[08:41] a woman it isn't encouraged in this
[08:43] secular culture how it should be how it
[08:45] used to be and all this lgbtq I A plus I
[08:49] can't even keep up with how many letters
[08:50] that they add because there's a new one
[08:51] every single day but in reality it's
[08:53] just man and woman and those are the two
[08:55] that are supposed to be together but
[08:56] this Abomination Express nonsense has
[08:59] led mothers to now be married to the
[09:01] government and depend on them to raise
[09:03] their kids how's that working out ladies
[09:05] if we're being honest it's a disaster
[09:07] that's only going to get worse and keep
[09:08] on stumbling downhill unless men step
[09:11] back up and do their jobs unless they
[09:13] are allowed to step back into the home
[09:15] and do what they're responsible for
[09:17] doing and what they are also 5050 in
[09:20] creating that child so you when you
[09:21] create a child you're supposed to raise
[09:23] that child hello light bulb moment
[09:25] that's the way it's supposed to be and I
[09:26] know this stuff might upset some folks
[09:28] but it needs to be said I love my mama
[09:30] and I love my wife but we're built
[09:32] different we bring different necessary
[09:34] values to the table real men are
[09:36] supposed to be spiritual leaders for
[09:38] their families and are the ones that are
[09:40] responsible for protecting and guiding
[09:42] their children in what into what it
[09:44] means to honor God's word and when
[09:46] that's absent from a child's life or it
[09:48] was never present in the first place
[09:50] things are bound to go down a very dark
[09:52] path that's what we're seeing go on
[09:53] today and trust me I'm speaking from
[09:55] personal experience as someone who
[09:57] spermed oner dad is an ath that didn't
[10:00] do a darn thing for me growing up he and
[10:02] my mom split when I was one years old
[10:04] and it was a very sin filled and
[10:06] depressing gross Journey up until Jesus
[10:08] got a hold of me about five years ago
[10:11] and I thought my mom was the strongest
[10:12] woman in the world she might be one of
[10:14] the strongest mothers to ever exist but
[10:16] without a man there's no negating the
[10:19] facts a father is there to serve the
[10:21] role that God created them for and
[10:23] without that Things Fall Apart in
[10:25] societies and they start to crumble like
[10:27] we're seeing play out today it is 20 24
[10:29] and the victim card is being played more
[10:31] than ever but yet the opportunities to
[10:33] succeed are greater than ever before no
[10:36] matter what someone's melanin content is
[10:37] no matter how good their tan is and as
[10:40] long as people keep viewing themselves
[10:41] as marginalized groups they'll never get
[10:44] ahead but if you're the kind of
[10:45] individual that recognizes that God
[10:47] created all of us in His image starting
[10:50] with Adam and Eve and if you keep him at
[10:52] the Forefront of your life and you're
[10:53] willing to make sacrifices that others
[10:55] won't like don't get involved with gang
[10:57] banging and stealing don't sleep with
[10:59] person if they aren't your spouse don't
[11:01] pick up those drugs and Bottles don't
[11:03] hit up that strip club or dive into porn
[11:05] don't skip out on reading the Bible from
[11:07] Genesis to Revelation don't neglect
[11:09] staying connected in prayer with our
[11:12] heavenly father it's not going to be
[11:13] easy but it'll be worth it and when you
[11:15] do resist the Temptations of this world
[11:18] the the things that try to lure you in
[11:19] and promise you fulfillment but always
[11:21] come up empty-handed that's when the
[11:23] real fulfillment and success is found
[11:25] that's when we're able to live the kind
[11:27] of lives that many folks won't ever be
[11:29] bold enough to live and you may not be a
[11:31] Christ follower just yet but I pray that
[11:33] before it's too late you put down the
[11:35] excuses you humble yourself in
[11:37] Repentance that means turning from your
[11:39] way and shifting into righteousness and
[11:41] accept Jesus Christ as Lord and keep him
[11:45] at the Forefront always using him as the
[11:48] moral compass for how you're supposed to
[11:50] live your life in everything that you do
[11:52] and then you'll have what only he can
[11:54] give and that's Eternal salvation
[11:56] Proverbs 3: 5-8 says trust in the Lord
[11:59] with all your heart and do not lean on
[12:01] your own understanding in all your ways
[12:03] acknowledge Him and He will make
[12:04] straight your paths be not wise in your
[12:07] own eyes fear the lord and turn away
[12:09] from Evil it will be healing to your
[12:11] flesh and refreshment to your bones and
[12:13] then Psalm 62 verse 7 goes on to say on
[12:17] God rests my salvation and my glory my
[12:20] mighty rock my refuge is God Amen that's
[12:23] the solution that's the answer God
[12:25] always above everything the same
[12:27] yesterday today and forever never
[12:29] changing this world is passing away it
[12:31] feelings are fleeting they fly by the
[12:33] seat of your pants they're changing
[12:34] every single day but God is the same
[12:36] yesterday today and forever like I said
[12:38] and God is good all the time all the
[12:40] time God is good so wake up to that amen
[12:43] I'd love to hear your thoughts on all
[12:44] this I I'll end my rant right there cuz
