Also, did anyone view his widowed wife's speech on his death? I was struck that her face manifested no sadness; it was a face of scowl and rage. There was no call for togetherness, only retribution. The trauma from his death will never heal with that mind set. I pity their children having to see that. Christian Nationalists have serious issues.

One of the saddest things i've experienced watching the media's coverage of Charlie Kirk's murder, is how most mainstream black reporters/anchors/hosts have gone along with whitewashing of Kirk's white supremacist beliefs and his raw inferiorising of Black women.
So many of them are so careful and so afraid of offending Kirk's white followers that you'd think they were discussing a legit Civil rights activist. How shameful!
We once thought black faces in media would change the narrative or at least adjust the narrative to present a Black perspective on such an event, but no, today's black faces are all about 'show me the money', keeping my job, or simply saying things to ensure you're invited to the next broadcast event.
It is soooo disappointing for me to watch young white commentators really 'getting it' and highlighting how dangerous Charlie Kirk was to Black folks while the black faces in high media places sit around like uneducated dunces. Very very scary.
