Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul

Writer Ijeoma Oluo did something on Martin Luther King Jr. Day I personally avoid at all costs—she engaged a rancid troll on Twitter. The troll, calling himself Dildo Baggins, thought he would get his jollies by being as racist as humanly possible to celebrate MLK Day and Ms. Oluo wasn't going to have it. In doing so, she showed us the amazing content of her character.
the article is really racially charged with words of hate but i urge you to read for your own edification.  what i walked away with was first this guy is really being a bastard intentionally then as i read further  i found Ms. Ijeoma Oluo was the most serene and comfortable person i've read or heard in more years than i can remember, her temperament was spot on it shows the ignorance of racism can't really stand against the intelligence and respect for one another this is truly IMO what Dr. King was all about with every word he spoke.

i also noticed that her non confrontational response to this person dead set on bucking the not only Dr. King but everything as little as it was that he knew about Black people the absence of anything other than the one racial epithet shows he is one of those who hates but doesn't really know why he speaks from learned ideology and not his own.

also not trying to be a spoiler but the winding down of this person 14 years or older was self evident that what he was saying was not his personal conviction and that faced with a calm discourse which he fully engaged in i believe he began to see the illogical and the deference of what he was saying, i hope he can continue to grow, God Bless him.
