For MLK day, I will now search for maliciously racist tweets & tell the author that I love them.

People on the internet are pretty much the worst, but Los Angeles-based comedian Solomon Georgio brought a slight bit of brightness to the online world yesterday by looking up the tweets of racists staying stupid racist shit about Martin Luther King Jr. Day and responded in a manner that seems befitting the occasion, being kind and telling people he loves them. Sure, it didn't go over terribly well, especially when Georgio sent a message to someone under the name "Junior Dipper" (who has a Confederate flag in his background image and a stack of chewing tobacco cans as his profile pic.
But still, on the same day a store offered a sale on anything black, Georgio's bit of transmitted grace made the Twittersphere a bit brighter for a bit:
.@Redneck45Rem I hope one day you can understand the value of MLK's accomplishments. Until then, I love you.
