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.
She’s Jewish, the current actions of Isreal are causing a spike in anti Semitic stuff so she’s directly effected by the current political climate.
She shared a video of Dr King talking about the state of Isreal in the 60s.
Of course Jewish people are going to feel a certain way after a terrorist attack on a country created specifically for Jews.
It’s pretty easy to see her perspective if you take two seconds to imagine someone else’s perspective. But that’s hard for many people I guess.
She should still be criticized about this, but don’t pretend like she doesn’t get to have an opinion. That’s almost as ridiculous as what she did.
