I like how you brought up that around the time King made those racist tweets, he was only 16. I agree with you that at the age of 16, there is a chance that you don't think about what you're putting out on the Internet. In the case of King, I can only assume that he was doing just that - posting something he thought at the time was fine and not realizing the consequences he might face later. You also did a great job in defining whether King should be seen a legend. Yes, what he said when he was 16 was something he should not have said and maybe at the age of 24 he could have a different mentality, but just by doing one good deed does not make him a "legend" or excuse him from the mistakes he made in the past.
