Appearing on Jubilee’s internet show Surrounded, Kirk insisted Black people were “better” in the 1940s under Jim Crow laws.
While debating a college student, Kirk said, “They were actually better in the 1940s. It was bad. It was evil. But what happened? Something changed. They committed less crimes.”
The person he debated responded, “4,000 Black men, women, and children were killed in violent lynch mobs. Racial terror permeated American culture for hundreds of years. You don’t think that affected the generational psyche of an entire group of people?”
“Black America is worse than it has been in the last 80 years,” he interrupted.
