Bernice King Calls Out Amy Schumer For Implying Her Father Would Support Bombing Palestinians

"I am certain he would call for Israel's bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released, and for us to work for true peace." wrote King.

Highlights: Dr. Bernice King is no stranger to watching people on social media use her father’s legacy to score a point. But this time, she’d clearly had enough of it.

On Wednesday, the daughter of the late-civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called out comedian Amy Schumer for implying that he would have supported Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip.

    Totally agree. Opponents of affirmative action, reparations, and the like will quote this: line:

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    Without doing the basic research to find that MLK Jr. was in favor of reparations. Or try to bend his words to supporting capitalism when he was more socialist (though he opposed totalitarian communism).
