Kirk wasn't a white nationalist [View all]

That's according to the big money MSM which has gone as far as describing him as a christian nationalist because it's more acceptable to those of his persuasion who actually self-identify as such.

But that's the standard operating procedure in mainstream American institutions - don't piss off the worst white people because they're vindictive and have the more powerful people behind them.

It was ok to identify a terrorist like Eric Rudolph a white nationalist because he blew shit up and killed people. So in order to be a white nationalist by mainstream American standards you must be a criminal and/or have limited popular appeal.

Because of his popularity, the recently killed guy may be described as "polarizing" or "controversial" but God forbid we call him exactly what he was.
