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.

She's Jewish and (unfortunately) famous, so she feels like she needs to have a say.

She made a post on Twitter, which millions of people do every day. She wasn't standing on a soap box in the Town Square. This headline is a major exaggeration of what she said, even.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. All this discussion about her's is just a chance to start up the Amy Schumer hate train again.
