outrage or a scandal. Insinuating racism is the easiest way to make a buck and get notoriety. The boy who cried wolf is a good read for anyone who feels this ad is racist.

Go into the comments if you really want a laugh, at one point someone said that you can clearly tell white people run their football team and recruiting quickly being corrected as their HC is an African American as well as FSU has a very diverse recruiting staff.

As like a symbol of FSU when he had no connection with them in his life.
It would've been fine to just use the quote and say FSU follows his example or something.

I agree with this, and it certainly wasn't the most well thought out post, but it's not exactly something worthy of people getting angry about and needing an apology IMO.

I can understand that, but to me he is shown as a symbol "within" FSU not "for" FSU in the sense of using him for personal gain. It was just an FSU recruiting page putting their passion while showing support for one of the most influential people in human history.
To me it's like when it's Fourth of July and a Clemson page posts a player waving an American flag, it puts support for the flag and country with their passion of Clemson University, but I with him being a person I can understand the difference people would see as well.

civil rights movement. How they can hear and read his words and honor his memory with hate for others because of the pigment, or lack thereof, of their skin is beyond my ability to understand.

fun of them. They could have done something less drenched in FSU stuff and made it classy looking and it would have been cool.
A picture of him leading a march with the simple phrase "Do something" in Garnet would have been cool.
Then you are showing how your slogan and culture apply to life rather than simply Coopting MLK and making him into an endorsement cartoon.
