Furthermore, many right leaning Americans feel as though low expectations are often expressed via leftist talking points of “white privilege” and indirect implications that not being white in America is synonymous to being oppressed, disenfranchised, or otherwise underprivileged.
Finally, critics slammed Handler via Twitter, stating that her posts were the polar opposite of everything that Martin Luther King Jr stood for:
Or not pay attention to the color of one’s skin. Like he actually preached🙄

Seems to me you need a lot of help. You don't seem to grasp the basics of his message any more than white supremacists. Dr. Kings message was clear not to judge someone based upon the color of ones skin, but on the character of the man or woman.

Are you drunk again? You missed the whole point of MLK.

good grief woman, lay off the vodka for a day. Have you even read Dr King's philosophy about men not be judged by the color of their skin?

How could you get this so terribly wrong? CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER…. What is wrong with you? Are you manipulating people on purpose or are you really just blindly walking along?

"Think about what it must be like to not be white." WOW. LOL! You liberals really have deluded yourself into thinking that every American who isn't white is a poor, oppressed victim. This is why I could never get on board with the Democrats. #BigotryOfLowExpectations https://t.co/ncvYuCvUWN
