>Martin Luther King Jr. were among the great champions of progressive ideas in the 20th century. But they didn’t exist within an insular, self-validating community whose values and assumptions were often at odds with those of the rest of society. Okay I was going to take this seriously but, saying MLK wasn't 'at odds with society'??? "While many people of all races admired King and Parks in the 1960s, the majority of Americans did not and found the civil rights movement both wrong and unnecessary. Activists like King and Parks were reviled, red-baited and called extremists in their own time.

I think he's the one that needs less time on twitter if he's taking terminally online people as if their represtives of their respective movement.
