They? Do you mean the pilots hired because they are black and or women?

Just as Charlie Kirk saying anything that you personally regard as racist is not evidence that Charlie Kirk is a racist who engaged in racism.

Kirk’s ‘black pilot’ remarks are a case in hand.

You think hiring a pilot because they are black is not racist, correct? Do you also think hiring pilot because they are white is not racist?

Where’s your or indeed Kirks’s evidence that a pilot was hired because he was black.

The assumption is right out of your own and Kirk’s racism.

Just as your assumption that the alternative to hiring a Black pilot is hiring a White pilot is also right out of your own racism.

You just can’t help yourself.

The CEO of United said he was going to hire pilots because they were black, did you miss that?

I bet had he said he was going to hire pilots because they are white, you'd be calling him racist, yes?

He (Kirk) stated that because United Airlines stated that 50% of new pilots would be black or women, (DEI hires) that he would be concerned that they might not be qualified.

So you totally refute his concerns.......proud of you.

The left loves DEI hiring, but DEI hiring is racist, so the left just attacks anyone that opposes DEI as a racist.

No, that would mean that the left was not racist.

It's the left that thinks the bar must be lowered to accommodate blacks, not the right.

How do you lower the bar for a pilot's qualification?

There is no "free speech" in a private company, and as you can see, companies can and do fire employees for their political views.

Quotes by Charlie Kirk on various topics over the years:

On race

If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 23 January 2024

If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 8 December 2022

Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 19 May 2023

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 3 January 2024

If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 13 July 2023

On debate

We record all of it so that we put [it] on the internet so people can see these ideas collide. When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence. That’s when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil, and they lose their humanity.

– Kirk discussing his work in an undated clip that circulated on X after his killing.

Prove me wrong.

– Kirk’s challenge to students to publicly debate him during the tour of colleges he was on when he was assassinated.

On gender, feminism and reproductive rights

Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.

We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 1 April 2024

On gun violence

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

– Event organized by TPUSA Faith, the religious arm of Kirk’s conservative group Turning Point USA, on 5 April 2023

On immigration

America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 22 August 2025

The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 20 March 2024

The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 1 March 2024

On Islam

America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank: large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 30 April 2025

We’ve been warning about the rise of Islam on the show, to great amount of backlash. We don’t care, that’s what we do here. And we said that Islam is not compatible with western civilization.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 24 June 2025

Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.

– Charlie Kirk social media post, 8 September 2025

On religion

There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 6 July 2022

How do you lower the bar for a pilot's qualification?

Usually by giving them easier tests.

Like they do for women in the forces and police.

And Blacks in universtity entrance exams (particularly law and medical students).

The actual exams to qualify are the same for all, according to Google.

Black individuals in the United States are not given easier pilot or law exams, as all professional licensing tests and grading standards are identical for every applicant.

Law Exams (The Bar Exam)

• Standard Tests: The bar exam is a standardized test created by each state. Every person who takes the test in that state answers the same questions.

• Blind Grading: Graders do not know the race, name, or background of the person who wrote the test.

• Affirmative Action Limits: Affirmative action historically applied to school admissions, meaning how students got into law school. It never changed the rules or grading of the actual bar exam required to become a lawyer.

Pilot Exams (FAA Certification)

• Federal Rules: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controls all pilot licenses in the U.S.

• Same Tests: Every student pilot must pass the exact same written knowledge tests, oral tests, and in-flight practical tests (called checkrides).

• Safety Standards: Flight examiners use the same strict safety and skill rules for every person, regardless of race or background.
