what did charlie kirk say about the civil rights act

Charlie Kirk said that the passage of the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s was a "huge mistake." He described the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a "blunder," claiming it created a system focused on "equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity" and that it "led to more crime." Kirk was critical of Martin Luther King Jr., calling him "awful," and blamed King partly for the Civil Rights Act. He advocated for a colorblind society but opposed affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, which he labeled as "anti-white" initiatives. Kirk also viewed the Civil Rights Act as an "anti-white weapon" manipulated in political discourse.
