I see your point, but if you distill things to far they lose clarity. Britney Spears and Mother Teresa probably aren’t completely incomparable.
Well, I wasn’t trying to excuse Wright’s speech through the comparison. If anything, I think people have taken the canonization of MLK a little too far. He should be venerated for his work in civil rights. However, one might have reservations if they consider his ties to communist groups, his agitating against vietnam, etc.
