Sibling comment has the context and, really, these are two different things. Letting a nasty forum stay open is not at all the same as protesting segregation.

You're right, heads is not tails but they are two sides of the same coin; they go hand in hand.

Dr. King's protests would not have had the influence they did if the nasty public reactions of the racists were effectively covered up and censored.
