Did Paris Hilton confuse Nelson Mandela with Martin Luther King in a recent Tweet?

Many social networking were shocked after seeing a screen dump of what appeared to be a tweet from Paris Hilton praising Nelson Mandela, yet stating “Your I Have a Dream Speech was so Inspiring”.

Whoever made that stupid fake tweet lacks respect to the loss the world is mourning right now. Same goes for all the blogs who ran with it.
