Kirk, a famous right-wing influencer, was shot and killed while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.Kirk’s death has led to significant outrage on social media as people demand to know more about the situation. In light of his death, several HBCUs, including Alabama State University, Hampton University, Virginia State University, Southern University and Bethune-Cookman University, were locked down on Sept. 11, citing threats against the campus.

Black people get villainized and demonized, to the degree that we get blamed for things that we don’t even have a hand in,” he continued.Many reacted to Whitfield’s video on Instagram, agreeing with his views that Black people are being targeted for a crime that has not been attributed to anyone yet.
