That's like saying nobody should have listened to MLK criticising segregation because he hated the KKK.

I think that’s a pretty inappropriate comparison and you should withdraw it. Please edit your post?
The faux outrage is odd.

Less faux than a bit silly. Their outrage isn’t fake. It’s just misplaced.

The comparison doesn’t work because the KKK’s violent racism isn’t comparable to commercial competition and the relatively-polite quibbles of two San Francisco billionaires. That’s less insulting than just wrong.

lol, far more odious things get posted every day on this website.
It would only be like that if MLK was trying to become the lead white supremacist.
ridiculous comparison
