However, some sources suggest that Charlie Kirk has made comments about race and racism, including his denial of systemic racism and criticism of critical race theory [3], as well as his views on education, which emphasize traditional values and critique the left's focus on equity and belonging [4]. Additionally, one source mentions a quote from Charlie Kirk's podcast where he questioned the qualifications of a Black woman in a customer service role, implying that she may have been hired due to affirmative action [6]. This suggests that Charlie Kirk has spoken about racial disparities, although his comments have been criticized as inflammatory and discriminatory [6].
