If you were paying attention in the spring of 1992, you probably remember this quote coming from the mouth of Rodney King. His broadcast appeal to the violent masses was made halfway through the six-day-long rioting in Los Angeles.
And to be fair, “Can’t we all just get along?” were not his words. These were:
“People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along?”
Frankly, I prefer the way our collective brains have chosen to remember what we think he said on May 1st, 1992: more eloquent.
Mr. King’s (mis)quote came to mind the other day when I read a similar appeal from a women who is part of a discussion group on social media. In so many words, she suggested that the members of the discussion group stop being “negative.” Based on her post, I concluded that she didn’t like the tone and tenor of some of the comments from some of the others and was appealing to their “better selves” to be more “positive” in the expression of their ideas and opinions.
