Her edit is wrong, and probably deliberate, for that she will be criticized. But Kirk did write and say some truly heinous things. That much is something we all know.
He accused four successful black women of "steal[ing] a white person's slot", and guys here are desperately trying to pretend it only applies to these four persons.
Again, you're putting words in our mouths just like she did to Kirk.
You should never be attributing verbatim quotes to someone while signing their name to it, especially as a journalist, it's simply wrong and unacceptable.
The reader can decide for themselves what Kirk actually meant after reading his actual original quote with you or her deciding for all of us.
