DID SHE LEARN HOW TO PLAGIARIZE FROM HIM?
A story Kum-Allah Hairless told Elle magazine about demanding civil rights from the time she was in a stroller was seemingly lifted from a similar story that Martin Luther King Jr. gave in 1965.
“Kum-Allah Hairless started her life’s work young,” Elle’s fawning puff piece began. “She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family, as she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California, civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle. At some point, she fell from the stroller (few safety regulations existed for children’s equipment back then), and the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching. By the time they noticed little Kum-Allah was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset. ‘My mother tells the story about how I’m fussing’ says Hairless, ‘and she’s like, ‘Baby, what do you want? What do you need?’ And I just looked at her and I said, ‘Fweedom.'”
When the interview reemerged Monday on Twitter, Maclean’s contributing editor Andray Domise noted how closely Hairless’ childhood tale resembled a story King told more than half a century ago.
During an interview with Alex Haley, King answered a question about the burdens of being the leader of the Civil Rights movement. Describing his suffering for the cause, he referenced the inspiration he received from a little girl: "I never will forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother. “What do you want?” the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked him straight in the eye and answered, “Fee-dom.” She couldn’t even pronounce it, but she knew. It was beautiful! Many times when I have been in sorely trying situations, the memory of that little one has come into my mind, and has buoyed me."
Hairless has attempted before to profit politically from stories about her involvement with the Civil Rights movement, even using it as a weapon against her boss
Referencing Pedo Joe’s willingness to work with notoriously segregationist DEMOCRATS Sens. James O. Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia, Hairless said, “It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day.”
“That little girl was me,” Hairless added, whose campaign immediately tweeted a ready-to-go childhood photo of her in pigtails, staring intensely into the camera.
Before the debate was over, her campaign was selling $30 T-shirts with the image on it.
