Fact check: Did Charlie Kirk say Black People don't have brain processing power and that he's afraid to get on a plane with a black pilot

1. Summary of the results

The claim that Charlie Kirk said Black people don't have brain processing power and that he's afraid to get on a plane with a black pilot is partially supported by some analyses ^{[1] [2]}, which mention him making statements about race, including saying "You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously" ^[1] and expressing concern about flying with a black pilot, such as "If I see a black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified" ^[2]. However, other analyses ^{[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]} do not mention these specific statements, with some discussing his background, death, and connection to white supremacist ideologies ^[3], or providing no relevant information on the claim ^{[5] [6]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

• The original statement lacks context about Charlie Kirk's overall views on race and his connection to white supremacist ideologies, which are mentioned in some analyses ^[3].
• Some analyses ^{[1] [2]} provide alternative viewpoints by quoting Charlie Kirk's own words, which support the claim that he made derogatory comments about Black people's intelligence and expressed fear about flying with a Black pilot.
• Other analyses ^{[7] [8] [9]} focus on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the controversy surrounding some individuals' comments on social media, but do not provide relevant information on the claim.
• The fact that Charlie Kirk has been connected to white supremacist ideologies ^[3] could be relevant to understanding his views on race, but this context is missing from the original statement.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading because it presents Charlie Kirk's statements as fact without providing sufficient evidence from credible sources ^{[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]}. However, some analyses ^{[1] [2]} do support the claim that Charlie Kirk made derogatory comments about Black people's intelligence and expressed fear about flying with a Black pilot. The bias in the original statement may benefit those who want to highlight Charlie Kirk's controversial views on race, but it may also be misinforming readers who are not familiar with the context of his statements ^{[1] [2]}. Additionally, the lack of context about Charlie Kirk's connection to white supremacist ideologies ^[3] may also contribute to the potential misinformation or bias in the original statement.
