Kirk Obama race

 Obama's focus on race in disagreeing with Charlie Kirk.

I recently watched a video of President Obama talking about Charlie Kirk.

He said he obviously didn't know him but was generally aware some of his ideas.

Obama names 4 things that he disagreed about with Kirk. They seemed to be all racial-type things. Why does he only pick out racial-type things?

One of those things that he disagreed with Kirk about was that Martin Luther King was "awful."

I don't know what Kirk said about King, and I hadn't really looked into his personal life or his theological beliefs. Of course, I've heard claims of infidelity, and maybe a year or two ago, I heard that he didn't believe in the resurrection. I was rather surprised to hear that he did not believe in the resurrection, since that is an essential proposition of orthodox Christianity, and King was a Baptist pastor. The Apostle Paul said, “if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.” 1 Corinthians 15:16-18

So, I looked up King's beliefs and found that he also did not believe in the Virgin birth or the Deity of Christ. These are also essential propositions of orthodox Christianity. To deny these things is really to deny the Christian faith. I also saw that he did not believe in substitutionary atonement.

I don't know if denying these essential truths of Christianity is why Kirk called him an awful person, or if it was the claims that he was an adulterous man. The FBI spied on King, and they claim that they have evidence, which, I read could be made public in 2027. I also read that a close friend of King's, Dr. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book (And The Walls Come Tumbling Down) claiming that King committed adultery with more than one woman the night before his assassination. I could see this as a reason to claim he was an awful man.

Obama didn't explain why Kirk called him such, and why he disagreed with that assessment.
So why did Obama say he disagreed with Kirk about King?
