If you’re actually inspired by someone you don’t make a day honoring them about you or your campaign.

How dare a white progressive suggest they're inspired by MLK. We need separate but equal moral leaders twitter.com/EoinHiggins_/s

I'm completely fine with progressives white black asian whatever saying they're inspired by MLK and running on expanding college access and voting rights like Stacey Evans. But this is Twitter so of course just make this some silly snipe session.

's take: peachperspective.com/2018/01/24/sta I wish all politicians were inspired by MLK and advanced his radical democratic socialist vision with their platforms. No politician should superimpose MLK onto their face, come on. mlkface = off limits, esp. for whites

Mind you, you and your buddy Zaid never ONCE cared to ask WHY that action happened. But your obtuse and one-sided approach speaks volumes.

I’m more so just floored at her campaign’s boldness/obliviousness. How do they not see this is not okay?
