The analyses provided shed light on the controversy surrounding Charlie Kirk's comments, particularly those that sparked criticism from women's rights groups [1]. Specifically, his remarks about Black women, including questioning their intellectual abilities and implying they only achieved their positions due to affirmative action, were widely criticized [1].
