KOLVET: We’ve all been in the back of a plane when the turbulence hits or when you’re flying through a storm and you’re like, “I’m so glad I saw the guy with the right stuff and the square jaw get into the cockpit before we took off. And I feel better now, thinking about that.”
KIRK: You wanna go thought crime? I’m sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, “Boy, I hope he’s qualified.”
KOLVET: But you wouldn’t have done that before!
KIRK: That’s not an immediate … that’s not who I am. That’s not what I believe.
NEFF: It is the reality the left has created.
KIRK: I want to be as blunt as possible because now I’m connecting two dots. Wait a second, this CEO just said that he’s forcing that a white qualified guy is not gonna get the job. So I see this guy, he might be a nice person and I say, “Boy, I hope he’s not a Harvard-style affirmative-action student that … landed half of his flight-simulator trials.”
KOLVET: Such a good point. That’s so fair.
KIRK: It also … creates unhealthy thinking patterns. I don’t wanna think that way. And no one should, right? … And by the way, then you couple it with the FAA, air-traffic control, they got a bunch of morons and affirmative-action people.
It wasn’t a generic comment about all Black women. Kirk made the comment while attacking specific public figures (Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson) as “affirmative-action picks.” He argued those particular women were appointed/advanced because of affirmative action and said, in effect, they “did not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously” and had “to go steal a white person’s slot” to be taken somewhat seriously.
That… doesn’t make it any better. How do you not see that. He’s basically saying that affirmative action is the only way minorities have jobs, because without it, they’re to dumb to get them…you didn’t do anything to prove that the context magically made his statements less fucking racist.

You’re not very bright are you… that’s literally what he is saying.
Context matters.
“Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot.”
What’s the context for that one?
