Man who sued South Carolina to replace Confederate Flags: 'Look, there's Martin Luther c**n'

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/8/24/1692916/-Man-who-sued-South-Carolina-to-replace-Confederate-Flags-Look-there-s-Martin-Luther-c-n

Today in South Carolina, a man named Russell Walker filed a lawsuit saying that Confederate flags need to be returned to the courtroom. Out front, he explained to reporters that:

I don’t believe it’s a symbol of slavery. That’s my personal view but how they feel is their business. It would be ludicrous for me to tell you how they feel. Hey, I go down the street and I see Martin Luther Coon, I mean, I shouldn’t have said that, Martin Luther King. I mean, should I rip the signs down?
