I never thought Charlie Kirk was a racist. He was always just really dumb and had done so much dumb stuff that he knew what to say to trigger people.

I feel like there’s different levels of racism that need to be named or they just fall under the umbrella term racist and their severity gets lost and becomes a defense. Like there is oblivious racist (not intending to be racist, but doesn’t know better), to casual racist (likes stereotype jokes), to believing racist (believes in stereotypes), to supremacists racist (believes in race superiority), to supremacists activists (takes actions against other races) and probably more in-between levels. Like a casual racist would consider supremacists racism to be bad, but their jokes are “harmless” (in their opinion). So when we say there is a problem with racism, they ignore it because they don’t see a problem with their racism, (but they would have problems with supremacists racism). In this image, the supremacists activists racists are recognizing that he was not activists enough for them.

Chuckles was absolutely a racist. His job was to launder racism back into acceptable mainstream discourse.
